Smart grew up from a polygamous home where his mother was the second wife. The father had seven wives, and he managed to give Smart's mum money for feeding. Smart' mum only finds a way to make things simple instead of involving herself into quarreling with other wives who happened to be the ones siphoning their husband's money. She is the type who does not know how to talk. Whenever they are talking, she always keeps quiet.

Since smart's dad is not always giving her money, she farms to get her money. When she has worked so hard to make the money, she will at the end prepare food which smart's dad will fold his legs, open his mouth so wide to eat what he did not contribute on. So, she was just ensuring hoping that some days things will change yet, things were getting worse and even more than before.

Smart, on the other hand, is still in public secondary school. Thanks to God, that he never went to private school where the dad has to spend lots of money. He never asked for money from his dad, just like the mother. He happened to be the second born of the family and the firstborn to his mum. Smart had two younger brothers and a younger sister, who happened to be from his mom. As time goes on, one of his younger brother died which left him with a brother and a sister apart from the other fifteen half brothers and sisters from his stepmothers.

While in secondary school, he was not having a single textbook. He was only borrowing from his friends in the school and sometimes, do borrow from the library. Education was not so easy with him while still in secondary school. He managed to pass through the secondary school with good grades.

It was time to proceed to higher institution but no one to help him as his dad was not ready to. He struggled, had and had, yet no one was there to help. Smart decided to stay at home to work for sometime in other to gather some money. He truly saved but will take him no where. His mum also helped him to save some money. Himself and the mum saved for two complete years, and finally, it was done but to pay for just one session including form.

Meanwhile, smart decided to obtain the form based on trust and hope he had. He got through the first stage and finally, he was admitted into the university. He made all the necessary payments without his dad paying a dime. Smart only used the money he saved and also with the one his mum saved for him as well.

His dad failed to ask how he managed to get the money to enter into the university. He was trying had to hustle even while in school to save and to use for his personal needs. His mum began to save to make sure that he completes the higher institution, undoubtedly before the unexpected happened. He was only been supported by the mum but finally, the mum got sick and all her savings and smart's savings were used for treatment. When he finally completed his first year, the mum was still very much sick but was in the hospital receiving treatment. For his mother to survive, he vowed to stop his education. He was not ready to go to school any longer.

His school had already resumes for more than two weeks which his friends has been calling while some do come visiting. He doesn't want anything to happen to the mum. The greatest aspect of it all was that, the mum became fine but no money to continue his schooling. He loses hope totally and decided to learn trading to support his mum and his other siblings.

He thought all hope were gone, not knowing that hope is looking for him. God never sleeps and can never forsake his people. It is good to be kind in all ways. Back then, when he was still hustling, he worked for a family who happened to be rich. After working, he decided not to collect money but cleared a colossal piece of land for free. This surprised the family and decided to pay him a visit after years of not seeing him any longer. When they entered his house, they met him and his just recovering mum.

To cut the story short, they asked smart about his education and he opened up and spoke out his problem. To God be the glory, they told smart that they are going to sponsor him throughout his university and will also send him abroad for his Masters. Smart was confused in terms of happiness. He was shedding tears, which happened to be the tears of joy.

Do not depart from doing good, as the reward is great. Help where needed and do not run away from helping people. Money is not everything, but help is the Paramount
