Its another friday evening,a day every average working Nigerian cherishes;its two known packages of saturdays and sundays,and the excitement of the premiership matches lined up.For me its nothing to be excited about,my name is Rasheed and I worked for Nestle as a factory supervisor.I make good pay(50k) monthly,compared to my job,the pay is good.I stayed with my friend some where in Mowe outskirts,but honestly speaking its just not comfortable.I wake up 4:30am mondays to friday,sleep in a mosque on friday nights and complete my weekend nap in a church on saturday nights,all because of Peter's girlfriend,Lola.She visits during the weekend,making Peter's weekend and ruining mine.
Enroute home as usual on my worse day,I decided to take a shortcut home to take maximum rest before the arrival of our lady.I came across this small structure,looked abandoned but could feel the presence of someone in it,I got more interested when I noticed a sign board inside the little buildig with inscription "1 room apartment".I walked in slowly but there was no one inside "Good evening oo" I altered,suddenly a fat,short and bald man on shades replied behind me "good evening! What do you want".I inquired about the apartment on the board and he said it was for rent.I made my intentions known right away and he said "when you are ready I am".While standing I made my rational thinking and viewed my account balace based on my last withdrawal(I had N94,300 in my savings account).He said well "Let's go check the house out".
It was about 7:45pm when we got to the house,the strange looks people on the street gave me was what baffled me,but my overjoyous state made me ignore them quickly;joy of not sleeping on the mat on friday nights and chairs on saturday nights.On walking in,we were welcomed with the shrilling cry of a little boy running,it came to me it was a face-me-i-face-you house.I compensated myself wit comforting words like "this is just the start,atleast its me alone,aweh gbagbe oshi".We walked through the passage of 8 doors opposite eachother,4 on each side.He took me to the 3rd room on the right,opened it and said "here we are!".I looked into the cube room and nodded my head in approval.We bergained on the rent and agreed 50k per annum,it was affordable for me.He asked when I"ll lyk to move in nd I told him "this weekend".I promised to pay the next day but unaware of the horror I was walking in to...
