You know those people that just can't let you have your moments? It's almost as if they were sent to you specifically to water down your achievements or make you feel lesser. They are living breathing agents of imposter syndrome that percolate your mind subconsciously with statements like:
"It's nothing special, anyone can do it"
"I can do it too, I just don't fancy such things"
"I used to do this thing you're doing now but I stopped cos I discovered it's not all that, you know... it's just basic"
"Oh you did that? you tried sha...must be beginners luck"
They never give you your flowers and if they ever see you with one, they'll pluck it , shred the petals , or hide it in an air tight sealed box so it could die... they may not be directly related to you but you can call them "household enemies or village people."
We have them in work spaces, at family gatherings, at friends hangouts, as neighbors and sometimes as just random onlooking strangers with no fiber or bone of "mind your business", "Do your own thing" or creativity in their bodies.
…the Hil-Dammy’s set to die on
Now let's look at recent events that birthed the quote "dreams are unique". A trending statement that if you know, you know...if you don't know then Pele o, happy new year... welcome back from bikini bottom.
So after we cheered Hilda Baci on her cook-a-thon and the whole country came out enmass to support her, many young people were greatly inspired by her amazing daring feat and decided to embark on the same. One who stood out remarkably is Chef Dammy who immediately started her own cook-a-thon while being sponsored by her church.
Now apart from the fact that I think the use of a church premesis was to buy people's sympathy , I also believe it is complete ridicule of the house of God. That being said, let's get back to chef over sabi, beg your pardon, chef dammy the cookathonian...
Ill-informed and with little or no solid preparation, she ventured into the unknown. From endless hours of boiling beans, to turning off the gas, and going off Instagram live, chef dammy is a trailblazer in reverse.
As a young woman inspired by Hilda, it is expected of her to research and prepare, reach out to Hilda for an interview (at least to know how she was able to put such a thing together) and then contact Guinness World Records to register. Sadly she did none of the above and her so called managers did not have the brain power to think up such either.
Recently, Chef Dammy took to the internet to address her fans and well-wishers (but na beg she beg) for funds to pay for security guards. What for you might ask, I haven't a clue. The whole scheme is looking like a ponzi. You who boiled beans for 2 days until the protein left ? You want security guard? Are we not supposed to protect ourselves from you ? Look at this beans fogossake egbami!
Anyway, I hope anyone seeking to do what Hilda Baci did is willing to first learn the ropes before taking that step.
