Hello Everyone in this Amazing Community
I hope this post met you all well
It's no longer an argument that Love of power corrupt people, power and greed works Hand in Hand, no Matter how you feel my views are, you will have to agree with me that Love for Power and influence is like a slow poison that eats you deep to the extent of you forget what exactly you represent, it corrupts your mind and then makes you lack conscience, empathy and love.
It's is that dangerous, this is what is happening in the lives of some politicians and people of authority, Nobody is Born Bad, we grow into the process of becoming bad.
Many Politicians when they first get appointments and introduced to office, they have that zeal, to truly do what is expected of them but after sometime in the office, they get so intoxicated with the power, influence and Money. They get so into the addiction of power that they go to the Extent of killing a fellow human being or make their fellow men suffer in the most humane ways possible.
The same is with people with positions in higher ranks in a particular organisation or place.
In my country Nigeria people gets any particular Job through the influence of someone or a particular person in office.
Although this might not be a bad thing because the right connection with people take you to places but whenever those with the influence starts extortion and partiality it can really be painful.
I was a victim of Partiality and power play
I remember in my Formal place of work, I was supposed to be promoted but there was power at play,
Some years back I work with a Fintech Company, I have served the company for up to 3 years, I went as far as bringing more than a Thousand customer to that same company, in fact I gave in my all to them.
I traveled around the whole state with little or no funds for my transport and accommodation, I was literally on my own, my salary was not capable to cover all those expenses but I endured, I was supposed to be promoted to the state coordinator of that state but on the month of promotion, the company didn't reach out to me nor my boss.
I was really expecting that kind of response from the company, after some days before the month runs out I personally called a my boss asking about the promotion, that I have been waiting for the big news, but there is no response from the company.
My boss told me that the company is not doing that again. After some year I left the company and then immediately another person entered and that new person got promoted to that same place in just about a month after resuming work.
I got to know the new staff was one of My boss and he was the used his influence, I felt very betrayed and Hurt, after know the truth.
In conclusion: too much love for power can make you do what you will never have done.
Thank you all for your time
Do have a lovely weekend
