CHECK THE CHEQUE

  There's a popular saying that 'Awoof no dey run belle' but atimes awoof(free things) can purge you if you are not careful.                                                                                                                                I could be spontaneous and adventurous but I know people with more degree In these things than i do.Here's a similar but different story to my post on 419 BUSINESS.                                                       A friend of mine was bitterly gisting me about how she thought she had hit jackpot! Rewind to few months back,she was at the mall in ikeja to get some stuffs when a guy in Suit looking corporate,with a slight but noticeable limp(lowkey describing him incase he comes your way) walked up to her and asked her if she needed money and that he could help her out.At first she said she was confused,but at the sound of money she had a rethink.Guy said he could spare her 300 thousand naira(a whole 300 grand babe was already spending money in her head).As she was about to put up an argument,the guy just gave her his business card and told her to think about it then give him a call.                            Fast forward to a week time,she was having sweet dreams of how to spend the supposed money.She finally gave in,decided to give the man a call.She asked him what he wanted in return and he smiled over the phone.His reply was 'you are not a baby na,just make me happy'.They agreed on a meeting point so he could explain to her how the whole thing works.                                                                    When she got there,this man claimed to be a banker and convinced her that there's a way he could write her a cheque of 300 thousand naira and the bank won't notice.She said she was somehow confused but he was very convincing and even promised to follow her to the bank to cash the cheque.She felt since he was following her there was no harm in trying.                                               The man got a hotel room,time for action started and he pulled out a very cheap Nigerian condom(i bet we all know this brand) it was from there she was convinced she just made a bad choice.After the whole grinding,truly he wrote a cheque of 300 thousand naira in her name,but he started giving excuses on how he had to be somewhere so bad,he gave the girl two thousand naira as transport fare,he then told her to either come again the next day so he could follow her or she can easily go on her own.                                                                                                                                                See ehn my people,to cut the long story short she came back to thank her stars she wasn't thrown behind bars for tendering a fake cheque,even the man was nowhere to be found.Atleast she got two thousand out of the 300! In my head I was screaming HOE!!! but i try my best in life to be non-judgmental.                                                                                                                                             In life,when some opportunities arrive and they seem too good to be true,its probably not TRUE.We should all be careful of the kind of opportunities we embrace..Stay safe in this wicked world.
