Donald: yeah it is but what else can i do? but i am
thinking of taking up a part time form.
Joy: Why that?
Donald: So it can be easy for me to pay my school fees
as i work.
Joy: (frowns her face) i don’t think you should go for
part time.
Donald: why say so?
Joy: i don’t know but jamb registration is closing next week.I can talk to my dad to get the form for you.
Donald: (Smiles) thanks but nevermind.
Joy: (frowns) don’t turn down my offer.
Donald: How would i pay for my school fees?
Joy: (Sad) that’s true but we would figure something
out Donald: Thanks for your kind gesture but don’t worry
about me.I’ll sort myself out.
Joy: Are you on facebook or on whatsapp?
Donald: (laughs) i don’t even have a phone talkless of
being on facebook.
Joy: That’s weird (puts her hand in her bag and brought out a phone) Have this.
Donald: I can’t accept this
Joy: if you don’t i would cry.
Donald: okay i would
Joy: i would open a facebook account for you.
Donald: but what phone would you use? Joy: i have many phones and besides i haven’t used
this phone and the sim for a long time so i give it to
you.There is 1GB data on the sim.What nane would
you like to use?
Donald: Donald Donald
Joy: (laughs) okay (handed the phone over to me) input your password.
i quickly used her name for my password without her
knowing and i gave the phone back to her.
Joy: your facebook account is ready.i’ll send you
friend request so we can get chatting.
Donald: (collected the phone) thanks Joy: let me go say hi to my uncle see you later.
Donald: (smiles) thanks
Joy: you are always welcome
I kept on looking at the phone she gave me it was a
Tecno phantomZ.It’s quite a big phone and judging by
it,she is from a rich family.How i wish i was also rich but i’ll work hærd towards my riches.I kept on thinking
until someone tapped me on the shoulder.
Joy: Dad meet my friend i told you about,Donald.
Mr seyi: Oh Donald!
Donald: good morning sir
Mr seyi: how are you? Donald: Fine sir
Joy: Get to go Donald,see you on sunday.
Donald: okay bye and thanks for the gift.
Joy: (smiles) don’t mention.
Mr Bankole saw joy and her father off.In few minutes
he was back. Mr Bankole: Where are the doc-ments i asked you to
print out?
Donald: here is it sir (handed it over to him)
Mr Bankole: I want you to edit a file for me on the
system,i’ll send it to you through a mail.
Donald: okay sir. He went back to his office and for i heard my phone
rang.I didn’t know how to pick the call so i asked the
secretary to put me through,She laughed at me at first
before she helped me.
Donald: Hello
Joy: hey this is joy. Donald: (excited) joy! nice hearing from you again.
Joy: this is my number so you can save it and i’ve sent
you a friend request.
Donald: Okay but you would still have to put me
through on how to use the phone.
Joy: (giggled) okay Donald: got to work now
Joy: Alright bye,i’ll call you later (Line dead)
I was so happy to hear her voice and besides she is
the only friend i’ve got.Like play like play,the day was
over.I quickly cleared my desk and saved all the
savable i needed to save on the system.I checked my wristwatch and it was already 7:15pm,What a
stressful day.I stood up to leavw before Mr Bankole
called on me.
Mr Bankole: i see you are very dilligent at your work.
Donald: i’m just trying my best sir.
Mr Bankole: Don’t you have plans to further your education?
Donald: i want to go for part time.
Mr Bankole: What about your parents?
Donald: They don’t care about me and they are
irresponsible.
Mr Bankole: What do you mean? Donald: (in tears) my mum is a pr-stitute,my dad is
an,area man.Mysisters dropped out of school to
become pr-stitutes also.I stayed determined to be the
best
Mr Bankole:how much is the fee?
Donald: Around N70,000 including the form. Mr Bankole: i see you as a son and since i’ve gotten
married for 17years now,i haven’t had any child.So i’ll
sponsor your education but you would go for full
time.When is jamb form closing?
Donald: next week sir
Mr Bankole: you’ll purchase yours tomorrow. Donald: (happy) thank you sir
 
Mr Bankole: Don’t thank me son.I would love to know
about your family history but not today,another time.
Donald: Alright sir
Mr Bankole: (Opened his drawer and brought out N2,000) have this for your dinner.
Donald: (ashamed) sir i don’t know why you are this
kind towards me.
Mr Bankole: like i said,i see you as a son i never had
and besides,you are a very ambitious and dilligent
young boy. Donald: Thank you sir for everything.
Mr Bankole: Don’t mention
Donald: Goodnight sir
Mr Bankole: Take care.
I walked out of his office with a smile on my face.I
picked up my bag and kept the money in my pocket.I checked my wristwatch and it was already 8pm.I
waved the secretary goodnight and headed for
home.I branched at an aboki stall beside my house
and ate Indomie and fried egg.I payed him and
headed to my room,i got in and switched on the light.I
took a sachet of pure water and drank.Suddenly,my phone started ringing.I smiled when i saw the
number.
Donald: hello joy.
Joy: hey Donald,just called to know if you’ve gotten
home.
Donald: yes i have and thanks for caring.What about you?
Joy: I’m still at the church,my dad is talking to some
church members.
Donald: oh!
Joy: So who picked the call for you (laughs)
Donald: Are you making jest of me? Joy: ofcourse not! i’m just surprised that you don’t
know how to operate an android phone but you know
how to operate a computer.It’s unbelievable!
Donald: you think so?
Joy: yeah or you have something convincing to tell
me? Donald: well it’s not my fault,the only phone i know
how to operate is nokia torch light.
Joy: (laughs) you mean toona sobe!
Donald: yes! i never held an android phone in my
hands and my friends back then at school all use
nokia torch light and per adventure you see someone with an android phone,it’s either a stolen one.This is
ajegunle my dear,we struggle hærd to survive.I was
only lucky to know how to operate a computer you
know,my friends usually use their system for yahoo
business but as a sharp guy i talked my friends into
teaching me how to use it in a good way in which they did.The laptops they own were stolen ones and when
i found out,i kept my distance from them so i won’t be
robbed in as a bad guy.But don’t worry,you don’t need
to teach me how to use an android phone,i’ll learn it
on my own.Thanks
Joy: i didn’t mean to upset you. Donald: (sad) it’s okay
Joy: can you come online and lets chat?
Donald: i’m kinda tired right now
Joy: okay then,goodnight and i’m sorryI hated the fact
that she made jest of me but it’s not her fault so i don’t
blame her.I picked up the phone and scanned through all the contents and info on it.I located the torch lite
and how to switch on and off my data.I saw so many
features and i googled their usefulness.I even opened
a gmail account,i downloaded whatsapp and
instagram.I was so much enjoying the phone until i
was alerted by the phone that i was already in 10%.I remembered that i had a blackberry charger and
decided to test it if it would work for it.Luckily,it did
and i was happy because i know how to operate the
phone i guess! i set the date and time on the phone,i
took a few selfie even though i’ve never taken a
picture on a phone before.Men! i’m handsome.I decided to upload my the picture on facebook.As soon
as i logged in,i saw her message which read “i’m
sorry if i made you feel bad about what i said” i
replied her saying “it’s okay”.I searched for my
friends on facebook and sent friend request to
them.The boy is becoming expert at this phone thing oo,so abdroid phone is not a hærd thing.Chai poverty is
a serious disease oo.I checked the time on my phone
and saw it was already 11pm.Jezz! i didn’t even notice
sef,i was so interested in the phone stuff.I left the
phone charging and slept off.
The tone of my phone woke me up.I looked at the screen,it was already 7am.Why is joy calling me by
this time? i decided to ignore her call but she kept on
calling and i kept on ignoring.I quickly went to have
my bath and got ready for work.I picked up my
phone,locked the door and left for work.I branched at
a buka and ate breakfast.Rice, beans and meat.While busy eating,She called again.I
decided to pick up.
Joy: Why are you ignoring my calls? Are you still upset
with me?
Donald: no i’m not,see i’ll call you back later.I’m late
for work Joy: but i….. (i hung up)
I know you would be asking why i behaved that way
towards her.It’s not that i’m ungrateful or
something,it’s just that i don’t want her to be friends
with me because of my condition.I didn’t like how she
made jest of me,it still hurts.I know it’s not her fault,she doesn’t know how it feels to be poor.I paid
for my meal and checked my wristwatch,it was
already 8:10am.Oh jezz! she made me 10minutes
late.I decided to ride on a bike to work.I arrived at
work and saw Mr bankole crossing his hands and
tapping his feet in anger. Donald: (i quickly apologised) i’m so sorry for coming
late.
