That is not a near death experience.

You narrowly missed death ...you dint even experience it. If you had fallen and you came back to life without deing. That then is what they call near death experience

Last friday evening, my friend in the hood called me on phone to inform me of a job opening in an ongoing construction site somewhere around Agbara (Lagos).

He told me the pay is 2,300 per day depending on if you were able to finish the day's job.

I told him i was interested (no choice for a broke man) and asked him when we are to leave for the place. He said we'll leave for Agbara the next day early in the morning to get there on time and start with others.

'No wahala', I said.

We set off the next morning and got there before 7 or thereabouts. When the supervisor saw me said, 'oboy as you dey lenge lenge (slim) like this, you sure say you go fit do this kind work so??'

I told him i could. Shey no be my mates dey do am?

I started the work which was carrying mixed concrete and sand up into the second floor of the building.

The work no easy o. I wan die true to God but i just chinned up and continued. I worked like this till afternoon.

My body was telling me to stop but i continued being that i wanted my full pay for the day then something happened.

As i was climbing up the scaffolded stairs, my limbs had become weak and my eyes dazed, i had no energy left again to climb up to the second floor so while trying to muster up energy as i climbed, I mis-stepped my footings and was about falling off the stairs down to the ground laden with bamboo, nails, stones and co far below but was saved by the hand of another worker coming up the stairs behind me. He had already noticed my fatigue and signs of faint feeling.

My headpan had already crashed down the ground.

I wonder what would have happened to me. Probably would have died.

The supervisor heard of it and was furious, lambasting me saying,' shebi i tell you say you no fit do this work? Na so you for put me for trouble.Oya dey go house now now, he said as he put his hands in his pocket and brought out 1400 as my payment.

I protested and demanded my full payment but he wasn't listening and was threatening to call the police.

I left the place, went home and used half the money to treat the sprain and pains i was feeling all over my body.
wrong use of grammar spotted. It's not a near death experience but a salvation from death. In a near death, you actually encounter death but while getting onto the other side, you're returned to the land of the living

Next time beforehand take 2 tab of panadol and again every 3hrs while the job is on. Its all u need to last a day of tedious labor and have no pains later. Do this as a gentleman.. But Ur mates u saw doing it effortlessly use tramadol or splif to tilt the odds.

That guy that saved you. Look for him and thank him.. . He is God s angel watching over you
Did the OP eat before starting the work? Before taking Panadol or any analgesic, one needs to eat o, especially before commencing hard labor jobs!

No be today we dey suffer for this country. I have had countless experiences of this nature working in similar conditions. In my own case while working on finishing area on a bungalow, the local wooden scaffold collapsed with the Mason man that was on top and everything came crashing down on me including the newly laid blocks. I was directly under the scaffold as I was trying to pack sand from there. I thank God none of us died although we sustained injuries. Ask me how much was the money. N1200/day. This is just one scenario. Man don suffer for this life o. May God brighten our future.

God will surely provide a better place for you, remain steadfast and focused ,for respite is nearer than you thought.Please don't be tempted into bad runs out of desperation ,for only hard work pays

Hustle because you need to hustle, not because you are broke at that moment!

It could lead you do the wrong job easily.
