My Secondary School Re-union Experience by ublight: 11:18pm On Jul 23, 2022
Please read patiently

I happen to be one of the luckiest persons on this planet. Not because I was born with a silver spoon, intelligent, or handsome. Heck a lot of people could do better than me in those areas.

I am lucky cos around 2019 I was opportuned to have a billionaire become my mentor. I had always known this man from 2015, but he didn't know me. We never had met until July 2019, but I always read about him and engaged him online until we met in 2019.

When I met him, I was broke and had almost nothing. He on the other hand had just lost 800 million naira. He just took interest in me irrespective of ethnic difference (he is yoruba, I am Akwa ibom)

One of the first things he said to me about himself in July 2019 was that he doesn't go for his secondary school re-union. Without waiting for me to ask for the reason he told me.

According to him, he had gone for his secondary school re-union many years back, and didn't like what he saw. Many of his colleagues were living fake lives. They only came to compete and measure their level of success. (these are people above 50. I thought this was a madness for young adults)

My mentor said even though he was the richest amongst all of them by all material indices (standards), yet he felt uneasy in their midst.
Many had to cook up lies, pull up in rented cars etc just to sell a false image.

I had finished secondary school since 2010, and because life was rough, I never bothered about secondary school re-union. Truth be told I was secretly hoping for when I would blow so I could go and show off. U get?

Working closely with my mentor started shaping my mind. I stopped hustling for the competition. My mentor always asked me, what if by d time u finally made it, u realize that all ur contemporaries had already made it??

I finally started seeing some good money last year. Majorly this year. I could literally give out 300k and not feel it. Of course I make a minimum of 30k to 40k weekly with my fone. Excluding my major source of income. In a month, I make more than 400k from my agro business, and I have not even mentioned my education business.

My cousin who went to the same sec. Sch with me convinced me last week to join him let's attend our sec. Sch re-union. At first I hesitated, but my cousin is not some1 who gives up easily. So I finally obliged.

Guess what! De ja vu.

What my mentor told me is exactly what I saw. Competition at its peak. Twas crazy Mehn! If I were still broke maybe I would be depressed.

Everyone was elegantly dressed except me. Everyone came with bolt except me. I felt out of place Mehn!
My only consolation was that I knew I was doing better than most of those guys there so I just kept my cool and sat behind.

I always came 2nd 3rd or few times 4th. So I knew I would be among those that would be on the spot light. A few friends came around, did a little bit of chit chat and exchanged contacts and that was all.

Some of us were married, the single girls didn't even come close to me cos I didn't look flashy. I didn't even try to force myself on anyone. I just sat one place observing.

After everything, we decided to contribute money to renovate a part of the male hostel that had gone up in flames some weeks ago.

It was at this moment that I became very keen and attentive. The first person to donate was our head girl. Very modest and nice person. She was married now and exhibited maturity more than the rest of the girls. She did 20k, but promised to transfer the cash by first week of next month. The head boy followed. He was well dressed. He did 20k too and promised to transfer next week Friday.

Me I was just shocked that after the whole packaging the guy still wan transfer 20k after 1 week. Wonders shall never end.

Some other guy on dread lock transferred 12k. I was impressed. First guy to actually give cash. Other people followed suit. Some gave 2k, 5k, 1k. Etc. Look I am not looking down on anyone, but after all the packaging no body could even do 50k.

We were only 51 (our set was ss3a and ss3b) everyone had done their donation and I was left. I beckoned to my cousin (who was d anchor) that I would do mine in private. My cousin (foolish boy) rejected d idea and everyone supported him. They wanted me to say my donation openly for everyone to hear and also take account.


There was a dead silence when I said I was doing 500k. It was like they didn't hear well. I asked for the account number immediately and made d transfer. ( I no get time 4 chere ka mbia. Forgive me I am not igbo)

To cut the long story short, I humbled everyone (for just 500k o).

Na once every body just get sense o. While we were about going na so everybody dey drag to carry me for dia car grin grin

Come see as all man rush to collect my contact. As I dey like dis, my WhatsApp don full with messages. Both from naira land and from my mates at the re-union.


I dey plan to even blow their mind join when I invite them all for my birthday this December.

My mentor got this 1 wrong. I don first my mates hammer. Na grace sha.
[b][/b]

Their messages on WhatsApp don show me say country no balance o. I am planning to create a WhatsApp group for some of tgem that would love to venture into my line of business and mentor them.

Do you think that is a good idea?
Please let me know. Thanks

Re: My Secondary School Re-union Experience by thesicilian: 12:13am On Jul 24, 2022
I don't go to reunions, be it school or family. And it's mainly for people like the you the OP. Unknown fo to you, you became the oppressor you were avoiding all those years.
You said nobody donated up to 50k, why didn't you just give your 20-50k and leave, if you really didn't care about showing off? And knowing fully well that a 100k would have "humbled them" you gave a whopping 500k! To what end?

It all goes to show that at the end, the oppressed can easily become the oppressor if given the opportunity.

I always came 2nd 3rd or few times 4th. So I knew I would be among those that would be on the spot light. A few friends came around, did a little bit of chit chat and exchanged contacts and that was all.

Some of us were married, the single girls didn't even come close to me cos I didn't look flashy. I didn't even try to force myself on anyone. I just sat one place observing.

After everything, we decided to contribute money to renovate a part of the male hostel that had gone up in flames some weeks ago.

It was at this moment that I became very keen and attentive. The first person to donate was our head girl. Very modest and nice person. She was married now and exhibited maturity more than the rest of the girls. She did 20k, but promised to transfer the cash by first week of next month. The head boy followed. He was well dressed. He did 20k too and promised to transfer next week Friday.

Me I was just shocked that after the whole packaging the guy still wan transfer 20k after 1 week. Wonders shall never end.

Some other guy on dread lock transferred 12k. I was impressed. First guy to actually give cash. Other people followed suit. Some gave 2k, 5k, 1k. Etc. Look I am not looking down on anyone, but after all the packaging no body could even do 50k.

We were only 51 (our set was ss3a and ss3b) everyone had done their donation and I was left. I beckoned to my cousin (who was d anchor) that I would do mine in private. My cousin (foolish boy) rejected d idea and everyone supported him. They wanted me to say my donation openly for everyone to hear and also take account.


There was a dead silence when I said I was doing 500k. It was like they didn't hear well. I asked for the account number immediately and made d transfer. ( I no get time 4 chere ka mbia. Forgive me I am not igbo)

To cut the long story short, I humbled everyone (for just 500k o).

Na once every body just get sense o. While we were about going na so everybody dey drag to carry me for dia car grin grin

Come see as all man rush to collect my contact. As I dey like dis, my WhatsApp don full with messages. Both from naira land and from my mates at the re-union.


I dey plan to even blow their mind join when I invite them all for my birthday this December.

My mentor got this 1 wrong. I don first my mates hammer. Na grace sha.
[b][/b]

Their messages on WhatsApp don show me say country no balance o. I am planning to create a WhatsApp group for some of tgem that would love to venture into my line of business and mentor them.

Do you think that is a good idea?
Please let me know. Thanks


Lol.
What struck me first was your humility. Now I see why you have that grace.

Secondly was your innocence and naivety (I'm saying this in a good way) you have to be very very careful.

Good people die sooner because they believed everyone was as good as them.

Help if you will BUT FROM A DISTANCE.
JEALOUSY BREEDS IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.

may God guide you and even bless you more. Amen

@ublight

One thing you'll realize is that there's nothing to prove, believe me in your write-up there are silent jabs of showing off, I'm not hating believe me, weda you first blow no be him be the matter, 10 years from now do you have a solid plan to lead in the agro business globally if you don't, you're still joking or getting by. Again what's the need of throwing a lavish party? To pepper them? To what end?

Secondly Never ever help people go into a business you started and succeeded in just out of your church mind, it will end in tears, I know this from experience, not everyone is cut out for business and more so agro business. Realize this most won't put in the minimum requirements needed to succeed in that business but just want the glamour that comes with financial rest. Only open the details of what you do to someone you've tested for tenacity and genuine commitment and someone who will respect you and humble themselves to learn, never entertain proud people or those who don't pay attention to salient details. Great men don't let out secrets just like that, you must be tested.

What my mentor told me is exactly what I saw. Competition at its peak. Twas crazy Mehn! If I were still broke maybe I would be depressed.

So, you typed all of this up simply so you could boast about being better than those who attended the reunion despite your presentation on that day not being as flashy as theirs? undecided

I personally don't believe there is anything wrong or unhealthy about reunions. They are a great way to stay in contact with peers who understand or were at least a part of your early life. If their lives have degraded to the point that they feel it is all about competition, that shouldn't be a problem for you to deal or concern yourself with if you don't subscribe to such. undecided

if you believe this cook up story, am sorry I can't help you.


even obi cubana no go give N500k for re-union .

The guy must be related to 'Lai Mohammed'. Unfortunurnately, some couldn't deduce that the story is just a mere format the guy intends to use and lure them to his hidden agenda.

Some are already asking what kind of business/Investment he does. That's exactly the sole purpose of this fiction.

Good luck to them

I guess I smell some lies above.
Number one problem you face when you have money is not showing off, why because people will start treating you differently and nobody like being treated differently.

I'm not sure what the moral of the story is but what I noticed is you missed the point your 'mentor' was talking about. He was talking about humility which you are not.

I hope you know its easy to go from something to rock bottom in a day. You have not made it in life and donating 500k is not wisdom. You've only put the spotlight on yourself.

That people dress well isn't about false life, a reasonable person should always look good, just the way being shabby is not humility.

Anyways, just like most story on NL, this is a figment of your imagination. And the idea of talking about weekly pay and income in general is laughable, of course the gullible are already showing interest. Dumb people everywhere.
