Episode 17

****** 3 weeks later **********
I was in my office on tuesday afternoon, piling
up the parcel I was about to deliver that day
when I got a customised message on my
phone. " You have been invited for test and
interview on friday and saturday at DOLPHIN
CONSULTING, at minna, niger state, come
along with your original documents, recent
passports, an attestation letter from your last
place of work and a copy of your C.V.
Interview comes up on saturday for successful
applicants from friday's test. Call 080***** for
further enquiries"
I was happy and joyous, I began to say it
within myself that "atlast, I'm porting to the
realm of 120k per month.", I began to
soliloquies on how I would save up to buy a
car, how I would save up to buy a land and
how I would be planning to settle down even
without getting the job yet. While I was
rejoicing within me. My phone rang and it was
tosin.
ME: hi padi mi
TOSIN: hi onihaxy,
ME: how are you?
TOSIN: I'm fine. I just hears that some people
were invited for test and interview, are u
among the people invited?
ME: yes, I just got the message not quite
long, I was about to call you sef.
TOSIN: that's cool. Just prepare well and read
hard. I will do all it takes to make sure you
get job. Infact, I'm assuring you that you
would be employed.
ME: ok pal, thanks so much. how does the
test questions looked like? And what are the
areas I should practice on?.
TOSIN: we will talk about that later on
whatsapp.
ME: ok.
I couldn't hide my happiness even without
getting the job yet. I was so happy throughout
that day. Even at work, my colleague observed
it that something is really happening to me.
I didn't bother to make any background check
on the so called company. All my mind was
just on the 120k salary. I stopped at segun's
house after the work to break the news of my
interview message to him. He was so happy
about it and he helped me with few interview
tips from his interview experiences.
On Wednesday, I made an enquires on how
much it would cost me to get to niger state
and return to akure. I was told I would need
like 15,000 minus transportation because I
would get to abuja first before getting to niger
state. I checked everything on me and all I
had was 5,000. I went to meet segun for
assistance and he also helped me with 5k
because he was broke at that moment. The
problem now is how to get the remaining 5k.
I called tosin to inform him about my financial
constraint and he told me that he just sent
the last 65k on him to his parents. He told me
to find a means of getting the money to come
down there and he assured me that he would
make sure he helped me in getting the job. I
then remembered I have a friend in abuja
named samson. The first and the last time I
visited abuja was during my 400level at the
university when samson's sister was getting
married. Samson was my neighbour and also
a friend then so I attended the wedding.
I tried dialling Samson's number but the
number was not available. I couldn't reach
samson through phone but I could still
remember the road to his family house in
abuja where we lodged during his sister's
wedding 4 years ago.
I converse with segun about how my trip will
look like as it is my first time visiting niger
state and also I don't have sufficient money.
He told me to leave akure on thursday and
board a bus to abuja and then to niger state
from abuja. And after the test, I should return
to abuja and trace my friend I told him about
and get some money from him. And to be on
the safer side, he said he will find a means of
getting money and send to me latest on
saturday incase I couldn't get any help in
abuja. I shook hands with him and hugged
him. Segun is really a brother from another
mother.
