KPONKPA ROAD

Kponkpa is a cocoa growing village made up of over 20 hamlets. The feeder road linking the village to the main town was nothing to write home about, although it's occasionally graded by contractors.

It is true most of the farms of the people of the main town were located on the Kponkpa road but we're the same people throwing rubbish on sections of the road. In fact, I was one of the culprits who contributed in making the huge refuse on that side of the Kponkpa road.

This is just to tell you how we somehow disregarded the people of Kponkpa and also the vital socioeconomic role the village played in the lives of the townsfolk. Their very farm produce, which forms over 80% of our market wares was  what the so-called busy working class bought at a song and yet we still didn't regard them much. This was because we're quick to tell them they're more villagers than us. Can you imagine the impudence of villagers in town calling others villagers?

But a week ago when I briefly touched down at the main town, I saw asphalt on the  Kponkpa road and for once I was happy for them. For once I knew the people would smile because the government remembered them.

Have people forgotten you? Do people neglect you? Do people disregard you or look down on you?

Do people treat you with contempt?

Never give up hope but keep on hoping in the Lord, for God has not forgotten you. Very soon your time will be due, for God will uplift the greatness in you.

It will be hard though and like the Kponkpa road, might be muddy, rough and tough but so long as you have life, never relent in your commitment to do the small things you've been doing; for one day you will be honoured.

Remain blessed. 👻#KYB Sign# ™
