My cousin has been in Canada for six years.
Every month, money lands in my aunt's account.
School fees, house rent, his younger ones' upkeep.
Everybody calls him the family's blessing.
He called last Christmas.
Laughing and asking about everyone.
He sounded fine.
I asked: "How are you doing over there?"
He said: "I'm managing. Canada is good o."
He visited two years ago. We killed a goat.
The whole family came out.
He was smiling in every photo.
Nobody noticed he had lost weight.
I noticed. But I didn't say anything.
I thought maybe it was the cold.
Last month, his friend called my aunt.
Said my cousin had not been eating well.
That some months he sends everything and keeps nothing.
That he cries sometimes. Alone at night.
That he had been doing this for years.
My aunt was quiet for a long time.
Then she said:
"But he never said anything."
...
Well, he never said anything.
Because nobody ever asked beyond "how is Canada?"
-A Nigerian lady who refused to send ₦2,000 to her elder brother has shared the h£artbreaking aftermath.
"I was 20 years old. First salary: ₦85k. Just about to start my NYSC. I felt like Dangote.
My brother texted: “Hi lil sis, send 2k make I chop. I never see food since morning.”
I had ₦41k in my account. I was saving for an iPhone 11 because my Android phone screen was broken and I had to use auto-rotate before I could operate it.
I replied: “Guy, you dey always bill me. Go find work na, me sef don try. Shey na like this you wan continue dey live? You’re my senior brother o.”
Three days later, mum called: “Someone called me and said your brother fainted at the junction and has been taken to the hospital.”
Hospital said: Ul#er + exh@ustion + m@laria.
Bill: ₦78,000.
I paid it in 20 seconds. But I couldn’t send him ₦2k for food three days before. My brother survived. But something di£d.
He never asked me for anything again. Not even “how far.” Birthdays?.He posts everyone except me.
Christmas? He does everything else but never looks my side.
₦2,000. That was the price of my brother.
I bought that iPhone 11 for ₦240k.
Posted it. Caption: “God did.”
My brother saw it. Never liked it. Never commented.
That night I checked our WhatsApp: He deleted my number from his bio.
I had money. I lost my blood.
₦2k didn’t break us. Pride did"
@ruffydfire Was the host insultive with the questions?....NO.
Was he respectful even when he found out the guest was dishonest and denying FACTS?...YES.
This exactly is the difference between you and him and exactly why your style of interview will continue to come under fire.
Victor Osimhen: “I left home with a backpack and two pairs of clothes. The one I was wearing, and a green kit in my bag. Lucky green. We drove to Abuja in the oldest car you can imagine, and we arrived at midnight.
The next morning, the sun came up, and I saw 1 million kids with a dream.
Maybe 1 million is an exaggeration, but not by much. There must have been 900 kids waiting outside this stadium. The first day, I didn’t even get on the pitch. The second day, one of the coaches finally pointed at me.
‘Green shirt. Let’s go. You have 15 minutes.’
Just 15 minutes to change my life. I knew that the only way to impress them was to run. So I ran until I was sweating blood.
I ended up scoring 2 goals in 15 minutes.
I thought that maybe I had a chance. But then the coaches got on a microphone, and they addressed the crowd. They called out some names, and I did not hear my name. Everybody started walking to the parking lot.
My dream was dead. I was just about to get in the car when I heard people shouting.
‘Hey! Hey! The guy in green!’
Huh???
I turned around, and some kids were waving to me.
I pointed to my chest, like in the movies.
Me???
I looked behind me.
‘The guy in green!’
Lucky green.
I ran back over to them, and they said, ‘Hey, the coach wants to see you. The team doctor told him you were the guy who scored two goals. Are you the guy?’
I said, ‘I’m the guy!!! I’M THE GUY!!!!’
I went back into the stadium and the doctor was pointing at me and holding up two fingers.
He said, ‘That’s the kid.’
Two fingers saved me.
If the team doctor didn’t do that, I would not be a footballer today. I would probably be at the bottom of a well.”
Truly Inspiring! @victorosimhen9
