Show gratitude to God – Basketmouth urges Nigerians

Nigerian comedian and actor Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth has encouraged Nigerians to show more gratitude to God despite the ongoing national crisis.

The comedian, via his Instagram page, stressed that life and good health should not be taken for granted. He explained that waking up healthy and alive is a blessing many people do not have.

Basketmouth also noted that people tend to be unappreciative until a privilege is gone.

”We all need to do a better job of showing gratitude to God. Waking up in the morning, healthy and alive, is a blessing that many people don’t have. So what if you miss a deadline? So, what if you don’t get that promotion? Lose your job? Or your car breaks down? If you’re alive and healthy, you still have something priceless. Don’t take anything for granted. Being able to use every part of your body without pain or difficulty is a gift. We often don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone. Have you ever had boils on both ass cheeks before? That’s when you truly discover the value of a buttocks. Suddenly, sitting becomes a luxury and functioning buttocks becomes a blessing,” he stated.
