If You No Get Money, Hide Your Face
EPISODE THIRTEEN.
Doctor: ‘Are you her husband sir’ he
asked the frail looking man gallivanting
the hall way.
Mr. Ejiofor: Yes i am. How is she and the
baby, hope they are okay?
Doctor: she is in a critical condition right
now and will need to be admitted
immediately. Please go to the cashier and
make the necessary payment before any
treatment can commence and be fast
with it please. You know your wife came
in here bleeding seriously and she needs
to be attended to.
Mr. Ejiofor: Please doctor, I will make the
necessary payment but please make sure
that my wife and child are doing okay. I
don’t want anything to happen to them
please.
Doctor: ‘We will do our best but please
make it fast’ he said and walked away
leaving Mr. Ejiofor to go and make the
payment.
He went to the cashier and was told he
needs to deposit a sum of fifty thousand
naira. Mr. Ejiofor quickly rushed home
and brought the thirty thousand naira
that was given to him by Ryan the last
time he came home. He gave the money
to the cashier and was told to balance
up the payment.
Mr. Ejiofor: Haba Cashier, Please now. I
will make the payment as soon as
possible, but just use this one and
commence treatment. Do it for my wife
and unborn child please.
Cashier: Oga, I am not the doctor and my
hands are tied here. Just make the
necessary payment and if you want them
to be treated quickly.
Mr.Ejiofor: But that is all I have for now.
Cashier: Isn’t there somebody you can
call?
Mr. Ejiofor: I have but he is not picking
his call at the moment. Once he calls and
hears the condition I am in, I am sure he
will respond. The money is not the issue
right now, just help my wife please.
Cashier: Oga, I am sorry, this is not a
charity org-nization. Pay the money fast
ooo because time is not on your wife
and unborn child’s. ‘if you want them to
live, you should be out of here by now
looking for money to help them’ she said
carelessly.
Mr. Ejiofor: Thought of what he could do
and how to raise the money. He dialed
Ryan’s number again and it said his
number was switched off. ‘What do I do
now? Where will I get the sum of twenty
thousand naira for her treatment’ he
asked no one in particular but himself.
‘Let me go and see if Mama Addison will
help me out’ he said and walked away.
When he got home, he met his first wife
preparing food for Evelyn. She rushed to
him to inquire about her.
Mrs. Ejiofor: How is Evelyn and the baby?
Hope she is okay. I learnt you came to
the house to collect some cash for her
payment. Is she alright?
Mr. Ejiofor: ‘she is in a critical condition
and the doctor said we should deposit
fifty thousand naira before any
treatment will commence’ he said
frowning
Mrs. Ejiofor: Ehen! Have you given them
the money?
Mr. Ejiofor: I do not have that kind of
money with me. That is the reason I
came back to ask you if you have any
money to borrow me.
Mrs. Ejiofor: The twenty thousand I had
with me was what I used in paying
Addison school fees yesterday. But wait
ooo, I thought you came home to collect
some money, what about the money you
came to collect.
Mr. Ejiofor: It is not enough.
Mrs. Ejiofor: But I thought Ryan gave you
eight thousand naira the other day. What
about the money?
Mr. Ejiofor: I gave Evelyn Thirty thousand
naira out of it which she used for her
personal purpose already and I am only
left with fifty which isn’t enough.
Mrs. Ejiofor: hmm…. See what you and
this your wifey have caused? What do
we do now because without the money,
Evelyn will not be attended to. Have you
called Ryan, he is our only hope right
now because this is a case of life and
death.
Mr. Ejiofor: I have and his number is not
reachable. I really do not know what to
do. I don’t want anything to happen to
my wife and child.
Mrs. Ejiofor: Nothing will happen to
them. Do not worry; I am sure he is very
busy that is why he switched off. Let me
call Adam to come and send a message
to him using my phone stating that it is
an emergency. Don’t worry my husband,
it is well.

Ryan was in his office contemplating
whether to give the financial book to his
boss or think of a better way to avoid
him finding out the truth. He knew that if
he should present the book to him and
is discovered, he could lose his job and if
he doesn’t present the book, he could
also be queried. He decided to present
the book and prays that he never find
out. If he is found out, he will look for a
way to cover his mess up.
Ryan: Oga, here is the book you
requested for sir.
Boss: Good. Please sit down while I go
through it immediately.
Ryan sat down jittering, waiting for his
boss to say something. After few
minutes which seem like a life time to
him, his boss finally looked up from the
book he has been so engrossed with.
Boss: What is happening here Ryan, he
showed him the book, pointed to where
the account is not balancing. Can you
explain this to me?
Ryan: Errmm..Errmmm..sir, it is just that
Errrmmm..Errmmmm
Boss: Are you going to keep up with the
Errmmm..Errmmm or will you get hold of
yourself and explain to me why the
account is not balancing.
Ryan: Oga, I will go through it again and
resolve the matter immediately.
Boss: What nonsense are you talking
about? You will resolve what
immediately? I need an explanation right
now. What happened to the one
hundred and twenty thousand naira?
You know this is business and my
money cannot just go missing like that
without a tangible explanation. I don’t
have all day Mr. Man.
Ryan: Sir, actually Errmmm what really
happened was that the money didn’t go
missing or anything. I actually took it
hoping that I will pay back before the
month end.
Boss: What? Let me get this straight
please. You mean you actually took out
of the business money for your own
personal gain?
Ryan: ‘Yes sir’ with head bowed.
Boss: Why? Am I not paying you
enough? Remember that it was because
of my wife that you are here and yet you
squander my money?
Ryan: No sir! Please sir, I didn’t squander
the money. I only took out of it to solve
some family issues with the hope that I
will pay back.
Boss: Without anyone knowing? Without
my consent? Don’t you know that is
stealing?
Ryan: I am sorry sir; you can deduct it
from my salary please. Forgive me. I
promise that I will not do it again.
Boss: I thought you are different and
unique. I was even telling others how
good you are but it seems I am wrong
about you. Listen Ryan, you have till
evening to get the money and replace it
otherwise, you will have yourself to
blame.
Ryan: But Oga, he went on his knees
‘please pardon me this once. I promise I
will pay back but not now or today.
Please give me some time’.
Boss: Get out. ‘I said get out’ he
scre-med.
Question: Who has N120k to lend Ryan
oo before he looses his precious job?
How will Ryan reacts if he gets to know
his father needs financial assistance
right quick?
