“Hello Bros! Siiii!”, someone tapped my shoulder. I turned to see a tall dark guy wearing a clean suit. I scanned him further. He was wearing a shiny gold watch and black well-polished Italian shoes. Expensive! I thought to myself.
“Yes. Can I help you?” I tried to maintain my cool.
“Hey bro! How do you do? I just came back from the states. Came to visit a friend of mine”. He spoke in a British accent. You are from the states but speaking Brits.
“Okay”, I was still listening for the main reason why he stopped me. I was in a hurry trying to rush to work by 7am in the busy traffic of Lagos. I would not have answered but for the fact there was no bus in sight yet.
“Do you know Ojuelegba very well?” He asked.
“Bros what are all these questions for? As you can see I’m heading to ….”. I said angrily expecting him to just walk away but I was interrupted by his ringtone. He quickly picked up.
“Hello Chrisk Global on the line. Good morning Alhaji Musa”, he voiced into the receiver. “The container has landed? Oh I see. Many phones of variety you said.” He paused for azzz while as if he was listening to the man talking. I was hearing some things from the receiver. I had very acute ears. This Musa is speaking Igbo language?.
“How much for the goods?” He listened. “18 million. Okay I will tell my boys to send it now”.
When I heard 18million Naira my ears opened. You see, even though I had a job, serving as Chrisk’s assistant could be the opportunity I had been looking for. I was interested that by the time he dropped the call.”
“Boss! How can I work in your company. I’m Thomas by name but you can call me TomCoded.”
“Can you buy goods? We give you at company price and you make much gain” Chrisk said.
“Of course. Where are the goods?”
“They are in our warehouse. Once you pay, we supply you”. I think that was when my brain started working again. I was on the verge of being 419ed.
Luckily a bus was rolling by and the conductor was shouting “Oshodi! Oshodi”. I didn’t even tell my new friend goodbye as I ran.
