There is a guy that has been bitterly complaining to me over not having a job to do since 2016 that he came to Lagos State to enable him have personal savings, and when I personally looked at the fact that this is a young man that needed to grow in order for him to plan his life, I took it upon myself to get him a job, even with no form of certification.
Between year 2018-2020, I got him almost six different job offers, with pay raging from 30-40 thousand naira, but either on the day of interview or resumption, Nigga would fail to show up or his phone lines won't go through.
Weeks later, he would call to apologise that something came up that hindered him from coming, other times, he do blame it on the devil for causing confusion on his part.
Fast forward to this January 2021, I made another plan to see how to secure him another job, just so he could begin the year as someone who is earning.
We had an appointment for last week Monday with a job agent and I told the fellow to use his #200 to my house, so I could take him to the agent's office for proper documentations, I even promised to pay him back the transport money with extra when he comes.
Lo and Behold, I waited the whole of that Monday, and the job seeker never even bothered to flash me. I wasted my whole day waiting to help someone who needed no help.
Four days after, Nigga called me and apologized as usual, saying that the devil showed up again by stopping him from coming, he complained about how he was not able to come by #200 to bring himself to my house, which I'm still wondering why could not trek down to my place(30mins walk from his residence) if he badly needed a job.
He then asked what I could do to help, and I told him to plan to meet up with me yesterday which was another Monday, and besides, I wanted to send him money so he could transport himself to my house, but his account has been dormant since 2016.
So I told him to find whatever means to come in and he accepted.
Men and Brethren, as at yesterday, I called the job seeker up to 20 times, and a strange person kept on picking the call saying that the guy was not available; that he was his friend and that he left his personal line under his custody(Hmmm)
The stranger later even called me back at midnight interrogating me to know why I really wanted to speak to the guy which got me pissed.
This is a job that was going to get him at least #40,000 monthly (not that he is a graduate o). Up until this very morning, I even made attempt to reach out to his neighbour asking him to tell the fellow to reach out to me, but the fellow has disappeared ever since.
Maybe this is what the Marlians would refer to as "INSIDE LIFE" because Nigga would prefer to be begging me for #500 or #1000 to "use hold body" in his terminology which I have stopped giving henceforth.
And at this very point, I lay down the heartache of the covidiot, and I know that God would not judge me.
