My early days of being a bartender at NNPC Junior Staff Club in Warri has further confirmed the fact that human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable. Every step toward the goal of becoming who you want to become requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of your dedication as an individual. Sometime I laugh when people are of the opinion that others just came from nowhere to become who they are today.The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths. Permit me to tell you the story of Richard Ayo Makun bartending days in my new comedy series titled CALL TO BAR. Do not forget that the struggle you’re in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow. Directed by @patrickodjegba and Produced by @peekaboomg Cc: @ikogbonna @lindaosifo #tellyourstory
