Hm.. it's people like him that make it difficult for genuine people to get help. Such a wicked soul.

You should have told him to wait for you to finish your interview so both of you can go together.

Never trust a stranger, no matter what.

I totally understand that the mistake I made was leaving the money for him. However, he has taught me a lesson in a hard way.

How was he careless? By trying to help someone in need?
The OP should have collected the money from him and aske him to wait.

That is where the carelessness came in.

I have noticed that some Nigerians have a way of putting all the blames on politicians as the ones destroying the country when they themselves are equally contributing.

A fellow job seeker turned back and do evil to me for the good intention I had for him. I was only trying to be a human which of course I always try to be no matter how tight it is with me. Not as though I have but I would share the little i have when I see someone so in need.

I met this guy in an interview venue and we got talking based on job search experiences, how we got to hear about the very one we were at, about the company, tips we can use to perform better in the interview and all that.

I think we were more than 40 in that place and interview was based on first come, you pick a number based on your arrival time and wait to be called in.

So the guy went in first before me, and came out to meet me waiting. On coming out, I tried to ask him to hint me based on some questions asked inside. The interview was scheduled for 10am but it started way late, around to 12pm. So not long after which he came out, he started complaining of hunger. I told him I am hungry too, and truly nothing entered my mouth that morning, so I was seriously hungry too. From hunger, he brought in the issue of how he managed to get to the venue due to lack of transport fare. He then asked me if I can assist with any amount to pay his way back. To be very open with him, I removed the last N500 that was with me and showed him. I told him I am the same. We are all struggling as we don't have a job yet. In fact, why I have N500 in my pocket is because I woke up early enough to prepare which I partly trekked to the place just to save some expenses. Just because I saw frustration in him and the humanity in me won't let me be, I wanted to give him N150 from the money while I keep N350 for myself. From our conversation, my distance was even farer than his.

So I wanted to go out with him to go look for change but just then, it was my turn to go in for the interview. Already the money was in his hand, so he said I should go in for my interview while he goes out to look for change and come back. I thought I was dealing with a human being, not knowing I was making a mistake. Leaving him with the money was the mistake I made. I'm only human after all, and I have learnt my lesson but it won't stop me from being good.

To cut the story short, that guy ran away with my only N500. That was all that was with me in and out. I mean home and abroad, all with me was the N500. Account balance looks like a radio frequency - 87.9. Laughable. So nothing was reachable any where else but even after telling him, he still decided to pay me back with evil.

To think he is a job seeker and he still behave that way, I won't curse him even though he succeeded in making me trek for more than 2 hours, going home with an empty stomach.

May he reap whatever he sows. I'm sure he won't come back to the place even if he's called up for the job, which I doubt though. And I pray I am shortlisted for the job, to bring joy to me.

Although a sad one for me but I pity his life.
Sorry Buddy, but atleast you exercise small.

I don't think I would go back and start opening files one after the other to look for his? That is if he even attached a passport to his file that could help identify him. The only time that could have worked, is after the interview.
Your experience made me remember the time I was job hunting too.

How I would trek the whole of Lagos looking for a job.

Just believe that it's a phase that'll definitely come to an end.

He did nothing wrong to be honest.It is only that Nigerians are greedy,dishonest and have no fear of God despite numerous churches and mosques littering the cities.
if i were the guy offered such money to change, i will definately give him back his change and see him as a helper not dupe him and behave like a narcissist or unmerited favours seeker.

Don't come here and talk as if you're from or living in the moon, just to make the Op feel bad.

Are you telling us you have never been in a situation where you had to trust a stranger for one thing or another before??
An Indian guy just met me along the road 2days ago and pleaded for me to snap him with his phone. So, he was careless for handing over his phone to a stranger?

If i decided to run away with his phone, i would be the one who had a problem, and not him who placed his trust on me.

As humans, we are bound to place that trust on people sometimes in our lives and it's purely normal.

What such people eventually do with the trust is left for them and is completely outside our control.
It doesn't always represent carelessness on our own part.

cases and instances like this are what you can use to plead with God, rather than cursing him or complaining or keeping grudge, Rejoice and use this case to plead your case with God, so he can uplift you. If you think the guy will reap what he sow don't you think you'll also reap what you have sown to him.
