The Ordinary People !
The Men And Women Behind The Scene who Made it Happen. Unfortunately they do not get the limelight they truly deserve.
(1)
Farmers transforming their agricultural product into food or from one form to another food type
A Woman Frying Garri
Food is a basic need and a basic right for all Without reliable access to healthy foods, people suffer and unfortunately die
many livelihoods are tied to food, many people earn their living in careers related to food. Agriculture is a big business the word depends on agriculture for food and other useful by products,
Though agriculture isn’t the only field that involves food. Supply chain work, food safety, food science, and the restaurant industry all revolve around food.
When you eat a meal , take a snack or drink a beverage how much do you think about the source? Do you know where your food comes from? Or who processed it?

The Shepherds/Herdsmen : the value chain for meat starts with this undercover legends.
Shepherds guarding their herds
They managed the herd's find suitable grazing sites, builds tent and camps, their primary responsibility is the safety and welfare of flock's guarding it to market place in time for shearing Shepherds / herdsmen often live in trailers, mobile camps or tents in the bush
Cattle and sheep are a major supplier of meat (beef) and milk for human consumption. Cattle rearing play an important role in making it happen. The hide and skin is a source of raw materials to leather and clothing industries and many other useful by products When you eat beef , take a glass of milk ,use wool or leather material how much more do you think of the Shepherd s and herdsmen ?

The people : Behind every successful leadership there is an organized society full of support and sacrifice.
Voter's exercising their franchise
political power often depends on the labour and contribution of the general populace for their rise to power yet the politicians don't serve the people
The people mandate the leaders, the same people are serving them as slave's to maintain their influence and public status
They can be most dangerous with their numbers when determined.
The disconnect between those in power and the people who sustain their position is so alarming. The ruling class no longer serve their intended purpose.
they have the capacity to change any government through any form of an organized movements to effect economic change, political change, or social change. They Can disrupt or vote out an incumbent.
The power belongs to them!

The men with the universal BAD BADGE who do the dirty job we don't want to . The Police !
Police Officer.
They do a hard and dangerous job but unnoticed and underappreciated. This is sad too. The role of the police in every society can't really be over stated. Put their lives on the line to combat criminals and prevent crimes ensuring the protection of lives and property of citizenry working at odd hours keeping the communities safe from all manner of crimes

The rural people; rural dwellers who go through tough times to access basic amenities yet they made it.
Rural boy in fetching water
Many rural dwellers face a number of challenges to survive on a daily bases they suffer neglect and abandonment yet they still stand strong, survive and make impact in life.
Communities has struggled to access clean water walking through unsafe rout to the stream to fetch water for their basic needs women and children bearing the highest burden
Another challenge is the long distance that they must travel sometimes to access primary health care services or education Because must of this facilities are sometimes situated in far away towns or suburbs and absent in some cases. Travel distances in rural areas also mean that rural residents are less likely than urban residents to receive preventive services such as physical examinations and counseling.
The natural ignorance of many especially the upper class makes them underrate the people the so called commoners. Most time ruling class and their Luke's are born into affluence and all they ever know is maintain the status everyone else not in that cadre doesn't matter irrespective of your role or services
these are just a few of the ordinary citizens working in farms cultivating food and raw materials, hunting , looking after the very young, sick and elderly, providing repairs and maintenance services, building cities, protecting boarders ,keeping peace ,making sacrifice to make sure every society is balanced Unfortunately they do not get the limelight the limelight they deserve
We are co labourers each and everyone has a vital role to play. Hence never look down on anyone in life we all something but non of us is everything.
That's good

DeleteYou have raised a very valid point I wish there is a form of way we can recognise and encourage this set of people for their unpopular contribution in the society.
