HOW I WISH? PART 1



There was a challenge I was looking for and now I’ve found it. Where does it lie? All within a wish I never expected. The conclusion is whatever you wish for you might just get more than enough. The internet is the newest markets where you sell to people you don’t know and make transactions without leaving a spot. Lots of fraudulent activities go on there but the security of our fast growing world could also be better managed through the internet. The electronic world generally is making the world invisible but I’m about to find something within this invincible world. It’s called LOVE.

When Alexandra Bell first discovered the telephone he sold only six copies of it that year. They were naïve to its functionality, but now we know that our generation is going through its doom through this same electronic medium of Bell called the telephone. Every day it gets smaller but still performing the same roles and even more. From coloured picture to Bluetooth, then facebook and now all can be done on phone.


I woke one early morning and I stretched for my phone to check the time. I had a friend request. I got people adding me up every day and lately we don’t ask where you got the pin from again. I accepted the request and after the second day I was ready to find out who that person was. My next trip to china was in a week and I need know what my clients crave for so I can get it for them while coming. I sent a broadcast out to all to ask if they have any specifics and a reply came from my new friend. “Whatever you think I deserve”. Waoh telling an Ibo man that shit, turns him off. I wondered where she came from; expecting a gift from a hustler. I tuned off like it was a missed message and it popped up again “or you wanna see my pictures”. I reluctantly said yes and then the Benin girl started downloading her entirety to my phone.

I didn’t wish to stay long at work that day but with the level of conversation we were having I was at work till 7.30pm and I felt good about it. For the first time I had to carry my charger to the lounge close to my house because I need my phone to be constantly on. Now the scary thing happened when I heard her experience about life.

Just now I was a busy business man facing my business squarely. My solitude is the source of my riches and suddenly I felt warm within, when a female starts a conversation. I ended all calls abruptly and nothing made more sense to me than what she says.  I was a fool to my environment because I smile and laugh in public without talking to anyone. The electronic world could be as real as possible and sincerely it could take your sense away. I spent two hours drinking a small bottle of Guinness and I couldn’t wait to get my change. I needed to be home. She has started calling me baby and I knew I was travelling to Benin before I make any china trip. When I got home I plugged the phone to the charger and immediately the gist continued. 

Then her story begins. I am the first out of two children and my parents are wealthy people. I’m not coming close to you because of money but I want to locate true love and I think I’m enjoying your conversation and sincerity. I schooled in Finland and in my class were three African dudes. One was South African, the other was Ethiopian and the third guy was Nigerian. Their names are Mayor, biggie and Morgan. They have one thing in common. And I guess it’s the black man thing. Mayor was nicknamed the hammer, the other was the driller and Morgan was the dredger. Every woman complains afterwards and they became the best in the trade until I tried it out with them.
Mayor was my first, biggie came afterwards and Morgan was the last guy. Now the business now is; I can’t find Morgan again and I need a Morgan.
I started following the story until the vigilantes in my area rang the three o clock bell. I really couldn’t sleep but if I don’t I might miss my morning flight to Benin tomorrow. I’ll continue when I get to Benin.
