PREMABLE
Once upon a time, In the Land of Animals. All of the animal species are in peace with one another. There is enough goods and water for everyone. They greet each other favorably and visits one another. Pride of Lion can host party for other animals to come to their den for merriment and all will be in attendance without fear, eat, enjoy themselves and go back to their homes in peace.
A time came, a long drought set in, rains ceases, rivers and streams dried up, plants started to dry out too. Since most of the animals are herbivores, there is no enough food for them again. Confusion set in. Most especially to the Pride of Lions, They started to eat up other animals. It became a huge problem as they can't allow other animals to have peace and scout for food in peace. A general meeting was held with sole aim of caging the Lions or driving them away from their midst. Difficult situations bring forth a savior. A Hero is needed. He should profer a solution that will bring peace. At the meeting, Tortoise, a clever being suggested to take the lead and that he did. He was able to sent the pride of Lion away from the camp cunningly.
Like the fiction above, Mr. Kalu Orji Samuel is a Hero. He is from Igbere, Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, Nigeria. He is the firstborn of his family. He is well educated and social approachable.
He is a Son "born" in the time of needs, just as the role played by Tortoise, Mr Kalu have brings a lot of succor to many people and families in his area. For instance, In the year 2005 and this year, 2022, A devastating floods is revaging many communities in Nigeria, many have died and properties destroyed. Read more about it via this link. He have engaged in many volunteering and selfless services to cushion the effect of the deluge on his people.
As a skilled builder, he joined hands with others to rebuild some people's home free of charge and give out free foods to others. He preach love and Gospel of hope to them too so that they will be emotional stable to prevent suidicial thoughts.
A Man of his People
He is the Pacesetter and fore-runner in any favorable pursuits for his people. He energies and organized several outreach for his people to be sensitized on several themes like malaria control campaigns. Malaria being one of the oldest and dangerous disease in his locality and many does not know more about it. He was one of the organizer of such campaigns and palliatives like drugs, mosquitoes nets etc are shared evenly among the participants to be protected against this disease.
Social Motivator
According to WHO, One is healthy, if that one is medically, mentally and socially balanced. Mr. Kalu is socially stable and encourage others to be happy too. No wonder, as shown in the picture above, he participate fully in social gatherings. He arrives early, help the host in any capacity and enjoy the programmes too. He is a chief financier of such occasions too as he can't leave their gatherings without giving out cash and gifts to other thereby be worthy of many humanitarin awards given to him.
CONCLUSION
A hero is known by his works and selfless actions. He does not praise his/herself but by his character and reputation in his niche, he is revered. The Clever Tortoise in the story shows such good character. Likewise Mr Kalu(@sammyhive), for he have done enough for his people and well known for his selfless roles played in his community.
