Not A Deficiency

Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗

The people of the Oguta community were worried about the conditions of their small village; they have been plagued by a severe drought for some months. All the crops they planted have withered, and their livestock are seriously struggling to find sustenance.

The elders of the village gathered together to discuss the severity of their condition and find a way out.Some of the elders said they had been cursed by the gods of the land; probably the gods were angry with them for something they had done wrong. That's why he is punishing them. Some suggested they should make a sacrifice to appease the gods to cleanse their land.

While they were still deliberating on what to do, a wise elderly man amongst them said he had something to say. The whole place was silent as they all wanted to hear what he had to say that was different from all they had been discussing. He went ahead to say, My people, I think the lack of rain we are having is not a deficiency in the land itself, but rather a natural fluctuation in the climate, and the only way out for now is for us to find ways to conserve what little water we have while we send a petition to the government to drill boreholes and wells for us to have more water rather than blaming the land.

All the villagers saw sense in what he said and agreed to write to the government to implement innovative irrigation systems and water-saving techniques for them.

THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
