As weird as this title sounds, I assure you that this is not a health related post. In fact, its more of an everything-related post. I have been fascinated over the past couple of days with the way we seem to disregard the raw materials and the process of transforming raw materials, but are eager to consume the finished product.
Let me break it down in less esoteric terms. No one celebrates the countless hours spent working in the library, but everyone turns up at the graduation to drink a bottle of coke and eat jollof rice. No one cares about how you felt when your first two businesses crashed, but everyone is eager to interview you about how you made your latest business a success. No one cares about how many years Bill Gates spent writing codes for Microsoft, but everyone cares so very deeply about the billions of dollars he has, and of course who cares about Dangote's history when he is busy making sugar, cement and building factories across Africa?
