So i actually went out for my first ever job interview today, i did everything to be sure i was very ready for it. Guess i was eager owing to the fact that it was my first ever. I tried everything to make sure i go all out with favour. So i was actually careful with virtually everything around me.
At Abua park where i was suppose to take a bus to Port Harcourt city, i stumbled upon a popular beggar whom i guess already made the park his begging spot and should be in his late 40s. On a normal day i'd walk past him silently knowing fully well that he is not deformed in anyway and thus should be able to work for money. But on that faithful day i decided to do things differently by yielding to his request when he said 'Umoh, corper! please find me something' without hesitating i quickly reached my pocket and pulled out a #50 note. Funny enough, before i could stretch out my hands to give him...he said ' Umoh , make it #500 this one too small' ha! when did beggars become choosers ? I asked my self as i put back the money in my pocket.
Then i turned and made move to take my leave, seeing my actions and the fact that i was about leaving, he quickly said ' OK umoh, please give me back the #50 make i buy groundnut' without thinking twice i replied him loud and clear saying ' don't worry because me too want to go buy groundnut with it ' lol...it was a scene that got all the agbero guys laughing as they all teamed up to hail Mr. 500 for loosing out on the #50 note. I could hear one of the agbero guys saying in the background that not all beggars are worth been giving money, especially those that are not in anyway disabled.
