The seller being observant, notice I don’t have money to pay with;

SELLER: Oga, should I still wait or attend to others?

ME: Oh, sorry for the delay! The issue is that I can’t find my money

SELLER: So?

ME: I don’t know if I can come back later to pay you, trust me I’ll surely return with your money. I have the money right in my pocket before coming here, but its like I lost it. It could be while I was paying for the recharge card I bought, please understand me

MADAM: Oh boy I nor dey do dat one here oo! come make we dey go kitchen make you go start to wash plate, before I go come table your matter. (Shouting it out)

ME: Please na madam!

She was still shouting, pulling me by my belt to her kitchen, this makes her to draw the attention of her customers who were eating in the restaurant.

Luckily for me, there was a young huge guy who overheard all our conversation.

“He called the madam and told her to let me be, offering to pay the bill. The owner of the restaurant finally removed her hand from my belt and went back to her kitchen.

The guy who rescued me from the embarrassment, offered me a seat in the table where he was eating and ordered for another plate of food for me.

“He introduced himself as Great-Kali, which is the first person I’m seeing bearing that name apart from the popular wrestler, although he has same body build with the wrestler.

He was really a nice fellow and I openly told him everything i’m passing through, when he asked to know what makes me to be that broke.

He offered to help me, telling me I can stay with him and join him in his hustling. I asked him what type of business he does, but he repeatedly ask me to be observing, that he has been doing his job since he entered the restaurant…

We were still talking when he slotted two of his right fingers into a man that was entering the restaurant pocket, the next thing I saw was the man’s wallet on his hand.

He took away all the cash that was inside and drop the wallet under the table, I was really surprise seeing how he does everything within a short time but couldn’t say a word.

He smiled at me and shocked me by unveiling what I never imagined;

GREAT-KALI: Guy na so the work just be oo, I don dey this business for good 2yrs and i’m making it big

ME: you just stole something that isn’t yours and you call it a business? God forbid

GREAT-KALI: Na the same God na write for bible say ‘man perishes because of lack of knowledge’ abi you nor know say heaven helps those who help themselves?

ME: So you think you are helping yourself by stealing?

GREAT-KALI: It is called “Taking” in my profession and not stealing. If the money big well well na ‘taking’ if na small cash na ‘collecting’. Just the way I collected your small #1,200

ME: Wait a minute Great-Kali or what you called yourself, are you the one that stole my money?

GREAT-KALI: Why you dey shout? Its no longer your money but mine okay, let’s leave this place Mr. graduate (calling the madam to come and have her money)

He paid for what we ate and ask me to follow him to his house or gallivant in the street with empty hand.

I checked the time and it was 6:30pm, I decided to join him since I have no place to pass the night…

We walked to the roadside where we entered a bus that was going to his house direction, he pocket pick so many passengers in the bus and ask me to learn explaining further that what he is doing is a tutorial for me. He said he closes work by 6pm but he has to do this so I can learn quickly.

We alighted from the bus and head to his one room apartment where he brought out all the cash and golds he has stolen for the day.
