It's much easier to be nice to people....but most times Nigerians take u 4granted when u are nice to dem.
I hv a funny story: My house-help for 12 years recently sent me a text, which made me conclude I could be his subject of kidnap if care is not taken, because he sounded desperate!!! Dis idiot had left my employ over a year ago, as a result of his dishonesty and misappropriation etc. While with me, he lived like a king, and I looked after him and his family...big-time. On d day he was leaving he thought life was honky-doory out there. I remember him telling me dat even if he was a civil servant, by now he would have been on a big pension etc etc. I gave him my blessing. Little did he know dat life is not so easy out there. Now a year later, he sends me a somewhat threatening text saying I should pay him at least N3m for having 'wasted' his life serving me for 12 years. Alarm bells were ringing in my head. A whole Lagos boy like me. Dis guy is a Calabar guy. I concluded he was desperate and and I needed to watch my back. I wanted to cal in the police, but changed my mnd, and only showed the text to some close friends and relatives. One thing I did was NOT to reply d idiot. Even in his dreams, he knows my silence is 'dangerous', and dat anything could happen. I have since not heard from d 4uker. Bottm line is..he has taken my kindness fore granted. Dis is one idiot dat I gave a whole plot of land while he was under me...on d Island for dat matter...which he has probably sold for peanuts!!! . I began to wonder if dis is wy some very rich Nigerians do not like helping d very poor ones.
PLEASE MAKE UNA TELL ME WETTIN UNA TINK??? Was I wrong to be nice???
Dis 4uker must think...dis man na wan 'rich' mumu. And see poor me....I work so hard to live a decent life...by Nigerian standards. Nawa oooooo!!!
