The Story of Dr. D.K. Olukoya

The Story of Dr. D.K. Olukoya
A True Life-Story
Dr. D.K. Olukoya had a father(I bet everyone should know that.The great servant of God wasn't begotten by the Holy Ghost.)And his father had a friend who was crazy about America.He was middle aged but he wished to visit God's own country before he was called to glory.He wished his aaccident of birth hadn't brought him to Nigeria.His chance came when he won a visa lottery to visit the land of his dreams.He grabbed the next flight against the advice of his wife and children.They didn't want him to go for he was quite old. He said no!
He got to America in winter.It was bitterly cold and his body found it hard to adapt to the climate. He spent all his savings moving from one hotel to another and buying clothing made of cotten and thick wool.Just to be warm.He wanted to see America-The Statute of Liberty,US Capitol Building,the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln,even the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. He was so consumed by this passion that he paid no attention to his depleted money.Then trouble struck-He became stranded.And the hotel proprietor kicked him out. He became a wanderer looking for food to eat but no money to buy.Some white folks took pity on him and gave him cheese and milk;others,money.Giving his change of fortune,he could have breathed his last.He was a man of dignity in the native land of his birth;Nigeria.
One day,his wandering took him to a town which was densly populated by black folks.There he met,Nigerians.Great was his joy!They gave him food,accommodation and promised to find him a job.
"Are you ready to do the kind of work we do?"
They wanted to be sure.
"Of course, "said he:"I am strong and kicking."
Ko si wahala.
They took him to where they worked.It was a tall and forlorn building;with only a door leading into it.What kind of work did this people do?Baba began to wonder.The answer came,swiftly, saving him from much thought. One of the men bent low and dragged out a steely shelf built into the wall.One the shelf lay a white man,naked and stone dead.Another man proffered a helping hand.They were taking the corpse to a room from which Baba could hear the hum of shower.These men washed dead bodies.
Baba fainted away.
When the German owners of the Morgue discovered that the latest job-applicant brought by the men had fainted,they became furious and sacked every Nigerian working in the morgue.What is the moral of this story?
