Once upon a time, there was a man called Samson living in a city. Samson was a rich man blessed with two kids- one boy and one girl. His wife, Rebecca, was a famous and prosperous trader. Then Samson was working with a well-known international company in Lagos in a post of Manager and fortunately for him, because of his diligence and dedication to work, he was promoted twice in less than two years. This unbelievable promotion of Sam, as he was called, which had never happened in the history of the Company since its existence made some people that were eyeing this type of promotion in the said company infuriated. Therefore, they connived to seriously deal with him instead of learning their lessons and amending their ways in order to be recognized and promoted later years.
In his neighbourhood, Sam was a social and generous man taking care of the less privileged people and orphans as well as the widows. This kindness and generosity of him made him famous not only in his vicinity but also in the entire State. A lot of people, one time or the other, had heard of him for his generosity but could not recognize him facially. Sam had not for once stopped his generosity and kindness to people. The more he gave out in kindness and cash; the greater he received from heaven through people. His subordinates at work were not left out in these benefits but there was nothing you could do to people that did not like you. He was only being kind and social to everybody not knowing that there were enemies of progress at his workplace.
Few months later, there was a call for someone to be nominated for a managerial training abroad. Unanimously, Sam was nominated for a 3-month training in the United Kingdom being the fact that the Company was international having one of its branches in the United Kingdom where the training was taking place. This good news did not go well with the enemies of Sam at workplace which made them become more angry with him than before and planned to kill him in no time even before he travelled abroad in order to have their ways in the company because they saw him as an obstacle to their success. All their efforts to get him killed before he travelled abroad proved abortive because all the hired killers in the State knew him as their benefactor so they turned down the job.
They finally decided to execute him immediately he returned from United Kingdom after training. Had it been they had the alternative for carrying out their "barbaric act" in the United Kingdom, they would have gone for it because three months were too long for them to wait. They travelled to another State to seek for help on their wicked mission where they eventually found a
group of hired killers that agreed to help them. This group collected all the necessary information and part payment upfront to bind the agreement between them. That was how they were seriously waiting for Sam to return from his journey.
In a twinkle of an eye, three months came to a close and everybody couldn't wait to see him; his family, people in his neighbourhood that were dependent on him for survival as well as his co-workers and friends. Sam came with an evening flight on Friday with the expectation that he would have two days rest before resuming to work in the following Monday. Immediately, he landed around 19:45hrs at Muritala Airport, Ikeja, he was accompanied home by his wife that had been seriously waiting for him. Many people did not know that he had got home.
In the following morning, the news of his arrival spread like a fire in the dry season which alerted his enemies that he was around for them to carry out their evil act. They whispered into the ears of the hired killers to come around and carry out the operation without any miss. The uninvited visitors landed Saturday evening and planned to visit Sam and his family in the midnight. When it was around 01:00am on Sunday, a five-man gang of hired killers bombarded Sam's house with the aim of taking his life but on getting there, after shooting severally into the air to scare the people in his neighbourhood, the gate to Sam's house was opened for them without much ado, and they were shouting; where was Sam?!!! He came out to them but to their surprise, Sam had helped their leader before, the leader only knew his face not his name. He was so restful and convinced his gang members that they were in wrong place and they should find their ways. This was how Sam was able to reap the fruits of his kindness and generosity.
