It is also a blessing in disguise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The onus is on us, to show to the Govt our appreciation of such a social program of this nature. It&#8217;s a program that should fully transform our lifestyle, our children&#8217;s lives and the mindset of the future generations to come. Let us remember that lightening does not strike at the same place twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most times,&nbsp; in these impoverished communities, our actions and lifestyle make us become a victim in society. The immediate environment is always a reflection of the residents&#8217; state of mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents from other communities will always be ahead of the game, not because they are\u00a0 better than us but because what we learn and do a yard, we tek abroad as a daily practice\u00a0 and hence these practices tend impede our progress as a people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Therefore, now is the right time for the residents of Booby Alley to rise to the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaFMdgE6mYPT8QGXjA0A\"><strong><em>CLICK
