Hi guys, i had this experience I really can't get out of my mind that i want to relate.
I have this friend who have been too occupied with this online platform, that's all about preparing visa to travel abroad for the betterment of ones life. Well we are Nigerians, and traveling out of the country is a dream for most people. Precious my friend tried introducing me to this platform, but i vehemently refused. She tried coaxing me into joining the platform saying"this platform comes with alot of benefits ". Well she's my friend and i gave her a thumb up for having my interest at heart, but i still refused.
A month passed, and i asked my friend how things are going in the platform. My friend joyfully told me that her papers are in progress. I asked precious "which country will you be traveling to ", to my surprise, she was unsure. Seeing how joyful she was about this whole thing, i decided not to be a joy killer(not saying what was on my mind). I shared in her joy, although not leaving her without "precious you ought to still be careful about this whole thing ", she gave me a smile saying "don't worry dear, i'm on the safe side ".
Two weeks later precious visited me at home looking so gloomy, when I asked her what happened, all she did was show me her phone. I saw the message boldly on her email "in as much as we want your well-being and betterment, Nigeria can't loss a good citizen like you, stick to your fathers land and be proud of it". I found the message hilarious, but still couldn't connect the message to her mood.
I was stunned when precious told me that it was a message from the platform she told me about. Not only that, she had invested close to fifty thousand naira for the processing of her visa in that same platform. I couldn't find words to console her. Inwardly i still kinda blame myself , because if had spoken up back then, maybe, just maybe, she could have listened and not trend on that path. Well the deed had been done, and all i could do was give precious a shoulder to cry on.
Now thinking of that message, i can't help but laugh, it sounds so funny.
