HOW I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD AFTER SECONDARY SCHOOL.
This is a story i dont stop telling the younger generation.
With the help of our Ngo on the globe foundation,reaching out to students in secondary school,exposing them to life reality and empowering them with skills and values for national building.
After writing our final exams,two of my friends told me they want us to go somewhere, that after meeting the man,we will become rich.
That the man will do something for us that will make us never be poor in life.
I mean 2006/2007,we were so young.
I was so worried how these my friends get to know about this.
I asked,one said his cousin introduced him,and that he will do anything to eradicate poverty from his lineage as long as it doesnt involve killing human.
They did all to convince me so i can join them.
To them,they love me and want to show me the way,i tried all i could to let them know that nothing the devil offers last forever, they were bent to their decision.
I didnt hear from them for 4 to 5 months.
One faithful morning i woke up,went to my Facebook, one of them had gotten a lexus car,i mean back then 2006.
After 3 months the second guy bought his own car.
He called me to inform me.
I at a point wanted to regret not joining them.
He told me they will be coming from umuahia to a hotel at owerri for the celebration, if i dont mind i could just come out,they will pick me on their way.
I was happy,cleaned up,wore my cloth.
The moment i stepped out from my room,i lost my peace,i could literally feel the fear.
I called my friend, told him i wount be joining them.
They called me all sort of names,one said i no get mind to make money,and i no wan enjoy with people wey don make money.
I didn't hear from them again till next day i came on Facebook, on the picture of one of my friends whom i would have joined to enjoy was boldly written RIP.
I suddenly became sick,legs shaking,
What happened?
One of them that bought his car latter,parked his at owerri,came to umuahia to join the other guy,so both can move to owerri together.
On their way to owerri, they had an accident, and both died on the spot.
They were crushed beyond recognition.
Packed in rice bag and buried same day.
Car,they didn't drive.
Bright future, snuffed out.
Nothing the devil gives last.
They couldn't keep keeping up to the demand.
They are greatly missed.
