His name was Dashrath Manjhi, and it took him 22 years. People laughed at him at first. Years into his project they brought him food and tools. When he was finished, they praised him.

Manjhi was first driven to create a faster path through the mountains to the nearest hospital when his wife was injured. Because they couldn’t get her to a hospital fast enough, she passed away. Manjhi didn’t want anyone else in his village to go through this tragedy.

They told him a single man could not carve down a mountain. This only steeled his resolve.

From 1960 to 1982, from ages 35 to 55, Manjhi picked at the mountain, eventually creating a 360 foot long, 25 foot deep road. This new path cut the trip from his village to the hospital from 44 miles to just 9 miles.

The path through the mountain (indicated by the green arrow) is longer than a football field and makes it easy to transport the sick.

People stopped calling him crazy and started praising him as the ‘Mountain Man.’ The local government has proposed a paved road to be named “Dashrath Manjhi Road” and a hospital in his honor.

The health of his village is owed to the man that carved through a mountain, Dashrath Manjhi.

Ok, let him come to Nigeria and try the almighty zuma rock nah.

22 Years? Wow, True patriotism. I say people do craaaaazy things for Love. The mockery and jest coupled with the stress wasn't enough to make him quit his goal, so why should YOU? Ha-ha.

WAOO! "applaud"

amakufrancis: 22 gini? d guy zzz d patient one. He had made history.

I bet you can't do that, JUST to make history.

Wow!

Dlionsheart: Ok, let him come to Nigeria and try the almighty zuma rock nah.

For someone like u, even if he uses himself as an axe to carve through the mountains, u still won't be pleased!
@topic:his sacrifice will make him remembered for generations to come. This is truly challenging!

Hmm. This is quite extraordinary. But for 22 years, what was the man doing for a living? Was he selling the rocks he was farming? I know he did it for love but I don't think love can feed him for that long. #justsaying

aiyeboy:

lol, both u too

But the simple question is, can people be this motivated in Nigeria

this is a lesson to all nigerians including the f.o.o.l.s at the top.

Wow!He's such a wonderful man.

Imagine if most of the useless peeps in naija made themselves useful like this man, Nigeria would be the greatest country in the world.
Instead we have more than twenty million daft men wandering about with no plans for their future.

*message!*

So u quote that long post just to say this?
Seriously!?

All d heroe,i swear superman, batman can'n compete



GREAT MANJHI

You are right the country is not motivating it's citizens but this man in question did not wait for his country to tell him what to do, he started on his own. This is the 'spirit' we need in Nigeria.

Some people live their steps on the sand of time, but this man live his on the ROCK of time

ok locate the nearest mountain obstruction, create road in it, and see if we wont start from there.

A beautiful mind deserves to be applauded.
This man is one of a kind and I am inspired by his resilience.
