Life of a hustler
Episode 3
After i left shola in the north and came back lagos because of KPMG aptitude test..after so much book reading and all sort, i failed the test……it was a real disappointment but i never let it weigh me down as it was my first time.
I tried to hook up with my friends again and Bamidele who happened to be one of my childhood friend advised me to move in with him in Ire-Akari estate instead of staying with my parent in surulere as it will even be better for us being young guys and he’s already working though not too much paying job but he was able to afford a room self contain and furnished it so well…need to say here that Dele finished service a year before me…it was not a big deal convincing my parent as they know Dele so well
I moved in with Dele and i started applying for jobs and luckily enough i always get shortlisted for test in all these my applications….hærdly a week goes by without me writing atleast two aptitude test…hope was still on the high side for job to come soon.
On the second month, i got a marketing job on the island, it was contract and the pay was not so much (around 40k per month)..the pay was not the most important as the experience which i can’t buy in the market was something that attracted me to the Job…..My marketing job never stopped me from searching for a better job and my job also gave me time to write test at my free will anytym i have one, i registered on all job sites and joined so many forums where ideas were shared.
It was the third month when i got shortlisted for graduate trainee job from one of the multinational FMCG Company….as usual, we were talking about it on the job forum. Like 2 days to the date of the test received a private pm from someone who said we should try and share ideas as our test date was the same day and time…we exchanged so many pm’s to the extent of exchanging phone numbers and bb pin. Through that, i was able to know a bit about Amaka.
We were chatting a day to the exam when she told me she was in Ikeja and fortunately forme, i was in ikeja..asked if we could hook up which she said no problem but she was on her way home already and it will be better if i can meet her at oshodi under bridge where BRT loading Obalende use to park.
Amaka: where are u Snakie? Have been waiting here since, i will be going ooo
Me:Am very sorry, i will be there with u in 5mins
Amaka:ohk
Me:Where exactly are u?Trying to find her first as i was already in that location
Amaka:Am by the newspaper stand under the bridge………..
I raised up my head, what a beauty to behold…Amaka is tall,quite a bit taller than me,fair, slim,bossom and bweast not too big nor small for her body…..everytyn was just so perfect for her body structure. I walked up to her stretching my hand…
Me:Hello….
Amaka:Waoh….u kept me waiting for so long
Me:Am very sorry
Amaka:Pls am going jare as u no that we need to prepare against tomorrow
Me:Ohk,lets walk down to the bus stop then…
We walked through the under bridge to the small walk path by the left side to climb up to the main bridge (Oshodi oke) where mile2 danfo use to load but we had to walk down a bit as lastma didn’t allow those danfo guys to pick passengers on the bridge…this gave us opportunity to talk a bit more and unlike me, she has nothing doing at all……Amaka stays in Festac so, we entered the same bus going to mile, i dropped at iyana-isolo and paid for our transport fare………

it was total preparation for the test of the following day and dat was not without contacting my new friend Amaka, we chatted all through the day by solving past questions together..We met the following day at the test venue at Unilag…..she was there early before meI was happy seeing her again….we did the test and all went well for the day…..we left the centre together and we departed at yaba where she pass through orile while i pass through mushin to Isolo…i tried contacting Amaka later in the day but her day was off until the following day….

As times goes by, we got closer and closer, it was barely a week when Amaka told me about one of her friend who was invited for a test but will need my help to put her through on some revision..Asked if she could give her friend my bb pin and Phone number which i obliged her.
Within 5mins, i received a bbm request apparently they were together
