STORY : The Diary Of Dube ... Episode 3

FAST FORWARD TO MONDAY.
i woke up early in the morning.say some little prayers.i took my bath.brushed my teeth. no food to take.coz i don’t want my mother’s wahala.
I zoomed off to MK DONX hopefuly to start work.coz i strongly believe that i will pass the interview. i got to the company and met the same people i saw the othe day. Some
were coming out smiling while some kept a straight face which shows that they didn’t qualify.
It finally got to my turn.i got in and sat down as the MD commanded.
MD.you are erm.chidubem john?.
ME:yes sir.(i said smiling).
MD.we have concluded the interviews.and the results.
ME: okay sir.when am i going to start.
MD.we are sorry. mr chidubem.you are not among the people that we selected for the job.you are not qualified for the job.we are sorry once again.
ME: hot tears from no were started dropping from my eyes. the MD saw
it but didn’t say any word.i became
frustrated.i nearly gave up at that
moment.coz that job was my hope.i
wanted to shame my so called
mother that i can make it in life.but
look at me now.hopeless and
confused
ME:thank you sir. I said to him and
left his office.i stood at the road
looking left and right.were am i
going to go from here.i decided to
visit my uncle.who is very rich and
working at one of the biggest
company in town.although i knew
my uncle is very stingy but i kept the
feeling aside.let me go and see
whether he will help me with work or
money.atleast if he help me with
money.i will use it to start a better
business.i concluded.
On my way.i started feeling hungry.i
brought out my wallet and open
it.chai!i only have 150 naira with me.i
took the hundred naira and bought a
galla and one sachet of water.total
of sixty naira.i gave them the
hundred naira.i decided to put the
wallet back inside my pocket.i looked
up and i didn’t see the galla seller
again.he ran away with my fourty
naira balance.i search and looked for
him.i didn’t see anything that looks
like him.then i gave up and continue
my journey to my uncle’s house.God
go judge that guy wey carry my
fourty naira change run.*i curse
under my breath*i ate the galla like
a hungry lion.till i consumed all of
them.
30 minutes later.i got to my uncle’s
duplex.i knocked and his gate man
open the gate for me.not without
some questions.
I went inside his house and found
out that my uncle wasn’t around.his
wife asked me to wait for him that he
will soon be back.she asked me
whether i have eaten anything.i
sincerely answered her NO.minutes
later.she brought some food for
me.rice and some chicken.before i
could spell my mother’s name.i have
consumed the food and chilled it
down with some cold juice.wow!life
is good if you have money.i forgot
my sorrow instantly.look at how my
uncle’s wife is shining because of
money.my uncle’s wife wey no fine

done to her.she is now looking fine.i

My uncle knows that i came out in
the university with first class.(no be

not qualified to do the job.his wife
begged him on my behalf.but all her
pleading didn’t move my uncle.
He only offered me a job to be his

month.i wanted to reject the offer
but his wife begged me to accept the
job.i looked at myself.a graduate like

neck.i just want to leave the house
for her.i know that i need a job.but
