"This world wicked oo, na so you dey suffer. My dear take am easy abeg. No vex for the way I dey speak pidgin to you, I no be posh pikin but I no dey too good with English, so I dey mix am with pidgin." He said while laughing. Arriving at his place I was a little bit relaxed. His house was so beautiful that I couldn't help but ask what business he was doing. "Uncle this house is fine, how did you get the money to acquire such a beautiful place." To be honest this man has taste oo.
"Hmm, my dear that is a long story but now what we need to get you is a good job, the one wey go help you get to the top and na the only one I get for you but I no know if you fit do am." Hearing that was such a relieve for me. Finally I can have something to do with myself. "Uncle I promise I'm willing to do anything just tell me what to do I'll do it immediately". Thank God for sending me a helper to rescue me, I am so grateful. "I hope say you know wetin you dey talk but na tomorrow you go know the kian work wey dey available."

"Mama T this na the girl wey I dey yan you about last night for phone. Na my distant cousin pikin be this. Tell her your name abi you don become dumb." After I narrated my experience to Uncle Oke he took me to his boss called Mama T. Her son's name was Tare so obviously she would be called that. During our drive I was having second thoughts of coming here, I don't know I felt like I was betraying myself by choosing to go but I shunned that little voice telling me to forget about this journey.Getting into this place was a hassle because there were lots of security points. I was nervous at some point because I saw men that looked so huge that they could break my bones in a twinkle of an eye. Biko God protect me ooo, I dey too young to die. I don't know what this woman specializes in but I know it's something big because this mansion of hers is one a million. I don't even know where to start from to describe this place.
Omo this place na really e shock you, me that was thinking that my father was a big man I don see pesin wey pass am. Chai money dey Naija ooo. When I and Okechukwu alighted from the car three gigantic men came to us while pointing their guns to me. Yeeeeeehhhhh wetin I go do oooo. One of them looked at me weirdly but I rolled my eyes internally, I'm used to such looks and the outcome doesn't end well.
"Okechukwu state your mission her and who is this thing you brought here" One of the guys asked. He looked like he was the leader but honestly do I look that bad. Okw' ego na kpali nmadu oo. "I don talk to Mama T about her. No waste my time ooo abeg just ask am." Uncle Okechukwu said while glaring at him. I noticed the tension between them, I think they have some scores to settle. Suddenly the guy paved way for us to pass, it looks like the boss gave him go ahead.
"I think say you no go allow us pass, fool" Uncle Oke said while dragging me inside. If you thought outside was beautiful inside was magnificent, I'd never seen so many artworks on a wall before. This woman get taste ooo, I'm not a fan of leather chairs but the ones in the sitting room really burst ma brain. "You gats to be careful here ooo. Those men were looking at you as if you were meat especially the younger one. I noticed him, beware of him he's the worst."Uncle Oke said while going up the stairs. I already knew the guy he was referring to, the one who looked at me weirdly.
I can't make that mistake of falling for another man so I'm safe. Ovie was the worst mistake I made I'm sure that no man can ever be appealing to me ever again.

I just remembered we were in Mama T's office, I honestly forgot I was meant to tell her my name. I'm sure I looked like a fool now. "My name is Sylvia Okonkwo ma" "What a beautiful name, where do you come from my darling?" Mama T was the typical Ijaw woman, from her accent alone you will know that you ought not to mess with her. "I'm from Imo state ma." "No wonder, that's why you fine scatter like this. Na you be the perfect candidate for this job, abi no be so Oke?"
