Yungtemy jnichole, creeza, Leigh, veekid, larabae13(we on FrontPage baby)

As a group of young men and women, there is the tendency of interpersonal relationships and attraction between them, so it happened that we the guys were been friendly with the babes, trying to chose who we can have something to do with after the job since most of us were students of unizik.

Mr Henry wasn't an exemption to this rule and we suspecting he was already hitting it (if you know what I mean), even though we didn't envy him, we always asked the babe for information.

On our first trip to Onitsha, we got to the hotel as usual, met with him, after dishing out the necessary instructions and praising us for the wonderful job we had done so far, he said he had some business to do in Onitsha, which meant he was going with us. We were happy because this means we can squeeze him for small change to buy some chewables while on the field, we proceeded to the bus and left for Onitsha.

He dropped by the roadside while we proceeded to our point of business to start for the day. On getting there, we split into groups of two's and three's and began in earnest, moving from shop to shop, talking to people, and generally making our presence felt. It was an hard day, the sun was really pissed and shone with fury, our customized shirts were soaked, our feet dusty and our movement a lethargic one.

Emma met a well learned man who put a call through to his friend (a bank worker), to confirm the authenticity of the service, the friend replied in affirmative and the man asked Emma to transfer the whole 5k to his bank account and in less than two mins, he got a credit alert and he was really impressed with the service, its fastness and simplicity was a big surprise, of course this means that the man gave Emma 5k in cash. Emma was ecstatic and literarily bounced on his feet, talking off our ears about his marketing acumen and how he's the first to achieve that feat.

Onitsha is quite big and mehn, the walking around wasn't funny at all, my groups last point of call was a tutorial centre where we met young guys and girls, and we were able to get a few registered before an interruption by members of the NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE, ahhhh, immediately i sighted their truck which contained about 6 heavily armed men, guy i sharply told my people,"omo c police o,seems gbege don happen here earlier,make we shift b4 dem carry us join", ofcourse na, without wasting time, we moved away and observed 4 guys been harassed and dragged into the police van, oboi for my mind, i was like "work don finish today be that", quickly went to our bus to chill and wait for others before moving out.

Usually work closes by 4 but in a bid to cover as much area as possible, we usually leave by 5pm, Mr Henry had promised to meet us before 5.30, so we had to wait for him in our tired state for an extra 30mins, 5.30, we didn't see him, 5.45, we didn't see him, our team leader tried calling, he didn't pick, omo we told the driver to move because its would take at least 45 mins to get to awka and the drivers were still going to abagana that night which is an extra 30 mins from awka, so imagine the stress.

We had gone past nteje when Mr Henry called Bond, to enquire our current location, he started screaming invectives and hurling insults through the phone because we didn't wait for him like he instructed us to, i was like, "this man mumu o, so na by this time (6.30), we go comot for onitsha", when the call ended, Bond relayed the conversation to us and said Mr Henry has terminated our appointment, lol...imagine o, we all started laughing because we felt he was upset we didn't wait for him and was just been reactive, we concluded that Emma shouldn't give Bond the 5k, instead we will use it as a bargaining chip the next day after he might have cooled off.

What will the next day bring, peace or war?

The last thing we expected happened though, find out in the next update

Yea physiology students move to nnewi after yr 1 and d possibility of switching might be a bit difficult, I left unizik about 3 yrs ago,so can't tell if they have relaxed on their protocols...fyi physiology is a dope course too

Outward ikorodu is filled,but the inward u might be lucky and from central ikorodu (garage) to the place might be N50...

The Brt doesnt go to Oshodi...do they? We still have to take the public transport to such places and there is always traffic jam on the way. The overcrowding at the BRT terminal isn't encouraging also.

BTW,i stay in Jumofak.
Well there is nowhere in Lagos that isn't ridden with traffic, it can only get better,I understand ur point,and I know jumofak is a quiet place,u can take brt to Anthony 120 and N50 to oshodi to avoid story that touch,

My thought exactly...Heinous crimes infact. I stay in ikorodu and i cant wait to leave. Apart from that,even with the new BRT system in place,there is still always traffic jam whether morning,afternoon or night.
Where in ikorodu do you stay? And what traffic are u talking about? Aside the overcrowding in the BRT terminal, i haven't experienced the so called traffic in ikorodu.

Happy weekend guys

The first time i met our supervisor, it was the previous Sunday, day before the job actually started. Lets call him Mr Henry.

Mr Henry is dark, from Edo state, with average height and slim build. First thing i noticed, he smokes alot, then his eyes was never steady, always moved from place to place, he was restless too. I just felt a bit uncomfortable with his general demeanor but i shrugged it off, like, it don't matter since its a temporary job.

At the beginning of every workday, if we meet him, he reels out instructions to the respective team leaders and comments on the previous day's data, if it was good, if it was average, if the data's have been verified, etc etc. He follows us sometimes to the location, he has a great personality, cracks jokes, teases us. But if you are used to been around illegal people, you will have learnt how to recognise the signs of illegality, you will know if a person is as straightforward as they claim, and my antennae told me Mr Henry is as crafty as crafty can be.

I told my friends about my suspicion and they affirmed but said since he wasn't the main boss, the only thing he can do is skim a few thousand off our dough. On the 6th workday, he took us to an IT company in udoka estate, we met the manager and staffs, the manager was gracious enough to grant us audience, he told us about the seriousness of the job, how they want to expand the awareness to other parts of the east, the importance of making a positive impact in anambra state and ofcourse, we don't have any reason to be afraid if we are going to be remunerated or not. It gave us respite and improved our countenance towards d job.

We proceeded to ifite gate to create awareness, went to each hostel, met students, shares fliers, it was a grueling experience to say the least. Walked like never before, down down ifite, almost to the catholic hostel (cant remember the name), this walk took almost 2 hrs, I was dirty, dusty and tired, all in a bid to make a major impact.

On our way back, we decided to tell Mr Henry we wanted half payment, quarter even, the reason been that, we have spent alot to and fro the hotel he lodged in and its only fair we get something to keep the motivation. We told Mr Henry and surprisingly he promised to tell his superiors in Lagos and would give us a feedback the next day, i was shocked and thought, "maybe you are wrong about him"

Remember the line we use for the job has 5k on the it, not airtime but the pocketmoni account associated with that line and if you can manage to get a customer who is willing to test his/her account to know how it really works, then you will have to transfer whatever amount the customer desires to his/her real bank account and the person will give you the same amount in cash which you have to remit to your team leader who in turn will give the supervisor.

We met Mr henry, on a bright Wednesday morning, he said our destination is Onitsha and since the town is big, we will go there two or three times. We proceeded that morning, with the mindset that at the end of the day, we will get part payment of our remuneration. Most guys had spent their skul fees with the mindset of replacing it with the payment we were due to receive in a few days.

A journey that started well, someway somehow ended crazily and well.....

Next episode is a tell it all

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Peace Corps Of Nigeria Recruitment Form: Another Employment Scam? by Gabbyraze(m): 4:07pm On Jan 20, 2017
I hope all of you intending members know that its more of a volunteer position and won't attract huge pay like other government positions. A side not too, I read they have over 20k trained staffs plus other people been recruited,in a broke country like ours, signing that assent now might not be a good idea to the president.... Think about all the pending employment opportunities in different military formations in the country.
Am not saying this to deter anybody o, but just keep an open mind and don't expect heaven on earth
Politics / Re: IPOB Solidarity Rally For Trump In Port-Harcourt Turns Bloody (Photos, Video) by Gabbyraze(m): 3:49pm On Jan 20, 2017
Is it hunger, ignorance or pure hatred that makes us act and speak the way we do. I didn't watch the video so I cant say if dead bodies are on it or not but what I know is, if you want to protest,u get a permit from the police. At least the lautech students protested last week, even tho the governor goofed,at least no one was killed or arrested. Let the ipod guys do the necessary things before embarking on protests. The country is bad enough as it is,lets not add more fuel to the fire
