Episode 19
I woke very early the next morning. Tosin had woke up earlier to prepare bathing water and also breakfast. I tried asking him about his work and why he wasn’t living in a more decent accommodation despite his huge income.
He told me he was investing into a project, and also sending money to his family and that’s why he couldn’t afford to get a better apartment. I said “ok”.
I tried asking him about how the test would look like and also trying to get more details about the job.
Tosin began to beat around the bush and not giving me a straight answer. He gave me an address and told me to meet him at work because he wanted to leave earlier. He left me at home and left while I was
reading my GMAT and preparing hard for the test.
The test was scheduled for 10am so I left the house around 9am.
On getting to the venue, I saw a lot of people dressed up in quality and expensive suits and I got scared.
“Would I be employed out of this multitude?”. I called tosin to inform him of my presence and he told me to calm down and be prepared.
I tried looking around but I couldn’t find any signboard for the company.
At 9:40, we were called to come inside and fill an attendance form. The staffs I saw were looking so poor and I could see the poor quality of what they are wearing.
I got amazed because I never expected such from a company paying 120k per month. I ignored my observation and proceeded to a mini hall provided for the exams to be written. I sat down with the pool of applicants.
At about 10:25 am. Someone came inside the hall with question papers and he was distributing it to us and he told us we have just 30 minutes to answer the questions.
On seeing the paper, I was shocked. All the questions been asked were all based on health, diets and nutrition. “Could this be GNLD?” I asked. Well, I answered the question and then submit it along side with others.
Then tosin came up to the podium infront of us to address us. I said to myself “yeah, that’s my guy”.
TOSIN: hi everyone
US: hi sir
TOSIN: I’m glad to announce to you that the interview would hold today, so you should all be patient.
US: ok
TOSIN: I’m assuring you that almost all of you will get this job.
US: ******side talks*****
TOSIN: before you would be called for interview, let me give you some motivations
US: thank you sir
TOsIN: do you all know that you can be as rich as dangote and adenuga if you all believe?
US: yes sir
TOSIN: you see, the power of success and failure is in our hands and we can either choose to be poor and rich. You see, I was working with dangote before i joined this firm but I wasn’t fulfilled. But I can tell you. I haven’t spend up to 2 years in this firm and I already had 2 cars.
ME: ****was so furious and angry, which 2 cars?, for your face me I face you apartment?***** chaiii, I was tricked into another GNLD scam sha, I just sat down and observing with anger.
TOSIN: you see, between 2 years, this firm had sponsored me to south africa and zambia. And this december, I would be in
london. Bla bla bla bla.
ME: ***i began to hate myself the more, I began to consider the money, time and effort wasted, I still kept quiet and observing.
TOSIN: but to make it with us here, it comes with a price. You have to pay just 10,000 for licensing to be a registered nutritionist in other to work with us . But I assured you, you will make your money in the first week of resumption with us.
Before tosin finished with his speech, majority of the applicant had stood up and left. We were not up to 10 left out of the hundreds that came for the test. No doubt, I had been tricked. This is purely GNLD.
TOSIN: if you don’t have cash here, you can use your atm card on our POS here, or you can make a deposit with any amount on you and balance up later. I’m assuring you that you would never regret it bla….bla….bla.
If you are ready to make a change, go to the room where our interviewers are waiting to meet you. Thanks.
Tosin left the podium and went into one room and I followed him, I tapped him at his back and he turned around and faced me.
ME: tosin, so is this what you tricked me to come and do?.
TOSIN: onihaxy, I never tricked you. I want you to make it. You can’t continue to be a slave to a peanut income. That’s why I invited you?.
ME: so where do you want me to get the 10k license fee?
TOSIN: you can deposit 5k now, and I would borrow you the rest. When you start making money, you would return it.
ME: ****so angry****. Do you know that you are very silly?. Infact, you are mad.
ToSIN: why all this?
ME: so you lived all this fake life?, you claim to have 2 cars when you never had a bicycle?. You claim to earn 120k and yet, you are living in a face me I slap you apartment?.
TOSIN: calm down.
ME: its ok, thank God I came here with all my credentials and my belongings. Good bye
TOSIN: onihaxy, where are you going?
ME: ***yelled*** never ever in your entire life call me again. .
I hissed on tosin as I walked out of the place. I was so sad within me and very angry with myself. I never believed I could be tricked into something like this. I called segun to inform him about what happened. He felt my pains and tried to console me.
I went straight to the park to board a bus back to abuja that same day.
On getting to abuja. I had just 2,800 left on me. I was just convinced within me that I would meet samson and get some money from him to return back to akure.
On getting to his house. I received the greatest shock of my life.
Samson’s family no longer lives at the address I knew and no one knows their where about.
“Yeeeeeee”
“Where do I go from here?” “Where do I turn to”?
“How do I get back to akure”?
“Where will I stay this night?
I checked the time and it was past 4pm.
The money left on me couldn’t take me back to akure. I was even hungry. I don’t want to return to tosin’s house as I was so angry, pissed off and furious within me.
No one knows anything about samson’s family. Samson’s number isn’t connecting and I don’t know else where in abuja. I crossed my bag on my shoulder with my file bag containing my credentials on my hand.
I walked down the road and began to wander down the street, I was so lost in thoughts and I couldn’t hear anything around me. Suddenly, I felt a great hit from the side as I was walking down the road and that was the last thing I remembered..
I woke up on a white bed and opened my eyes, looked at the whole room and it was all white. I tried raising my leg but they were panning and was bandaged. I looked at my hand and I saw a drip syringe been attached to it. I looked around and realized that I was in a hospital but no one was I d room with me. I looked at the other side of me and I found an empty bed. There were just 2 beds in the room.
“How did I get here?”.
“What am I doing here”?
“Where are my bags and credentials?”.
I began to ask myself questions with no one to answer. I wanted to stand up from the bed but I felt so much pains all over my body. I was too weak to stand up or do anything.
I looked at the wall clock and the time was 7:30am. I just turned my head to my left and faced the wall.
About 42 minutes later, I heard the sound of the door and heard the sound of foot steps.
“That must be the doctor of this hospital I guess”. The person was walking closer to my bed as I was turning my head towards the right to see whom the person was. I was shocked to my bone and I felt like entering into the bed.
Adebimpe!!!!!!, you!!, a nurse!!!!?
How come ??, what are you doing here .
That was the exact words that came out of my mouth as I saw bimpe in a white overall walking closer to me.
