What made me scared for life
source
I love this prompt so much. I have some experiences like that, but I just have to write about one of them, then preserve others for another day.
As you all know, that made my hand to be a phone repairer though I chose music as my career. I love music so much, and people around me know this quite alright. But now we are in Nigeria, a country where you must have more than one job before you can put food on your family table. What I mean here is that if you want to live well in Nigeria, you have to do different kinds of jobs for survival.
I was in the shop one day attending to some customers, but there was one particular guy out of them that wanted to repair an iPhone (iPhone x),the phone was shut down before handing it over to me for repairs, at first, I never wanted to collect it from, something in me is just telling me something inside, but I did not listen due to the pay of the repair.i never it was a trap, some people are just not in good at all.
The mistake I made that very day was that I did not tell them to make sure the phone was switched on, before I started working on it .well, I was able to resolve the problem with the phone which is the charging port, after it was fixed then I tried making it on but all effort was a waste, please keep in mind that the phone was not on in the first place before giving me because they told me the battery of the phone was very low.now that I am done with the charging port, the phone wasn't coming on even as I tried using power bank, now here is the thing, you I know you are going to say maybe the charging flex is not working, the charging was a new one of which I brought out from the sealed pack at their presence .to cut the story short they said I must pay for their phone, then when matter was getting worse, I removed the charging flex put it in another iPhone of another customer it worked, now that the flex is working what could be the problem .but the way and manner the person was acting you would know he was trying to set me up, and he wanted trouble.
Other customers that were there when the incident happened said to him that I was not at fault, after all, the phone wasn't on when he gave the phone to me. He started threatening me and people around there were wondering what was really going on, then left and promised to come back with some guys with him.As time went on, I discovered the guys was a cult guy and I also discovered all the scene he was showcasing was certainly planned by bad energy people hating on me.
I could not sleep, I explained everything to my wife, and she was like" this is why I don't like you doing this kind of job" . Here is the truth that I just know the nature of the job.
Seriously, many thoughts were running inside my mind, and I was petrified of what he could do to me. I was advised to consult the police, but in my mind I said the police are stupid people, they won't do anything about it.I was just confused.
At last, after the day that he was threatening me until now, I have not seen the person..
I really learned plenty of lessons that I know I can never forget in my life.
Thank you for reading my post.
