When The Coffin Seller Says 'There Is No Market', What Does He Probably Mean?
Longevity is Appreciated and celebrated in many climes and culture both as a favour from God and a function of deliberate healthy practice...
Here in Igbide, a town in soko south local government of Delta State, it's a common sight to spot at least a septuagenarian or an octogenarian in any family compound you step into, hence you may not be wrong to conclude that longevity is gift to us in this part of the world, even if you are not an indigent person, so long you leave here longevity is your portion, not to mistake me, there are a few premature extinction, but they are not too common.
Now let me go straight to my purpose of writing, a customer of mine (Micahae-Initial name) who buys fancy and expensive glass tables from me was in my store today and as usual he wanted to buy something from me, but there was something not right about him, so i couldn't help but ask him what the problem was.
As usual i was expecting the normal "my wife is too stubborn and unyielding tales" but i was shocked when he said he had a problem, to which i quickly asked what that is, at first when he finished i had thought my ears were playing a funny joke on me not until he repeated himself, i know you are curious to know what he told me right?
In his words "I am a professional Coffin specialist/seller and theses days THERE IS NO MARKET". yes
that was what he said, now on a personal note i really had no consolation words for him, i told him to speak to his pastor to which he asked me, what kind of prayer would the pastor pray for me?
Now what Could he realy want when he says there is no market,and if you were his pastor what kind of prayer would you pray for him?
