I was threatened by my friend yesterday when they lamented their ordeal and influenced this narrative
"prof we re getting stressed Nigeria is too hard and things are hard.Listen:"
"Prof good day how are you?"
"Am fine don't you know things are too hard now?"
"How?"
"Dont you know a room and a parlour self contain is now 600,000 to 700,000 in Lagos?"
"You mean self contain?"
"Agreement and commission?"
"No only rent with agreement and commission 250 250"
"Making 1.1m?"
"Exactly"
"This is too much how will folks survive now?"
"That's what we re telling you not to support Tinubu for second term and am telling you "
"This is too much"
"Uhmmmmm "
"Let us do voodoo.There's no other way . Voodoo is faster"
"Pastor you hear what he said.What alfa said"
"Yes I supported him because you re an atheist and we said we ll tell you because only you can do it Show us the way"
"Ha so pastor has dumped bible to cut corners?"
"But you say there's money in Nigeria and you talk about money and money.Show us the way ."
"It remains small "
"That is what you keep saying until we all die finish . There's no hope for masses in Nigeria.People would soon be homeless.Where will they get the money to pay for more than half a million as salary.And here prof you re standing boasting there is serious money and you can show us.'
"Guys are doing voodoo and it seems the fastest things now to riches in the country"
"Don't mind prof.As a matter of fact a friend of us just hit it now if you see his mansions and cars his parent and families making hell of money now"
"We asked him how did he do it?"
"Wait he said we should call him a ritualist."
"You hear that prof.People are suffering in Nigeria and this tinubu era is so bad .Still you re fond of him."
"I don't know what tinubu did for your life"
"Every day you talk about money in Nigeria and we re not seeing anything."
"Which babalawo do you know show us?"
"So pastor you support him?"
"How ?you said you have money we re hungry Not that I support him but with the way things are going.Every is bad going really bad Where will poor man get half a million house rent from?I don't know that's why killing is increasing every day."
"Send me messages on wasaap to remind you of your concern.We re launching our company's private placement soon.Infact we re already we Ve raised some money and we re employing the first fifty managers in our specialist farms and intergrated farms all over the country barricaded with fences and robots to be deployed and we need human supervisors.You don t have to worry and we will survive the storms.Annual revenue of the ten firms is ten billion naira net profit I means after excluding general expenses."
"Good that is what I want to hear from you.Are we starting now?"
"See wait let me call the guy to bring vehicle and you re the first set of guys to be appointed to handle the farms as directors in charge of farms and estate farms"
"I know you have actions we need help this Time."
"You know we re exporting cucumber "
"You told me before "as they conversed and heaved a sigh of relief the Lamborghini Aventador came and zoomed"My Gosh prof so you get Lamborghini the car Ronaldo bought?"
"We re going into lekki and banana island your contract job is ten million naira yearly basic excluding allowances and pastor you will handle real estate investment for me."
"Prof I know you have actions "both launching hysterically as alpha dropped his Pos booth and pastor jettisoned earlier discussion with clients looking for houses to rent.They can't even pay forms."See what about other nigerians suffering "as they entered the posh vehicle and headed to Ikeja enroute obalende."
That is the problem I have with nigerians they re Oliver twist,you can't satisfy them"
"Alfa keep quiet don't stress prof.he had tried"the driver laughing joined in the conversation"I just worked for prof now two salary of 250k prof paid me a million naira "
"You mean prof.?"
"Stop doubting him"
"Where do I go sir?"
"Go straight 2nd avenue "
"You see prof is rich and you didn't know "
"Where are you going?"
"Banana island!"
"Alfa so na true prof got a mansion there?"
"I thought he was joking "
"We re wrong not to believe him"
"In a hour time you ll meet the damn thing lawyer and he ll give you the directors contract to sign while I go to banana to talk to pastor.He ll drop you in lekki."
"Okay okay"
"See when you talk of Nigerians let me finish yours first.See we have plans to create three hundred million jobs in Nigeria "
"Jesus!"
"I don't trust tinubu and that's why I will campaign and I have a Midland People's party to do that and I will campaign for election in Nigeria and I will win"
"Prof have vision o"they started laughing hysterically.
"We don't doubt you we believe you.Have I ever seen a million before?"as they laughed and bantered they drove past admiralty road where alfa was directed to the posh office of Midland the new multinational corporation set up to compete against fortune 500 global companies and rescue Africa fro nom poverty with the goals to be the highest creator of jobs in the continent a whooping five hundred million jobs half of the continental population."We re now at 2nd avenue and see this Davido's mansion this is prof.villa"pastor marvelled"What deal you have for me?"
"We re building estate you re a developer and we have a plan already an estate of two billion.You have to join the team and go to the same we drop alfa after you collect your letter of appointments and join the management team."as moved up the elevator and entered the posh dining room to the welcome of lady stewards"Welcome sir you re late your food is ready "
"What do you have for the morning?"he queried them passionately"Your usual pap and plenty of moin moin for the Mondays.We saw you left home early and we could nt see you so we waited"
"I think the pap is not cold yet."
before he sat he gesticulated to the stewards"Bring the letter give my guy . Pastor let us eat together."as they sat to bombard twenty hefty chunk of moin moin and breaking them down and swallow the sweet morsels in record speed especially the hungry pastor in the mastication and not left behind prof himself not an abstemious ravishing man but a glutton of food.end of first chapter.
