My dear, in no easy. You know I'm trying to start my company right? and men the struggle is HARD !! But hey, i'm relentless. It's a real estate company, even though I studied something else in Uni but like most Nigerian children I was dumped in school and told "you will read political science" and so I did. Now I've found my passion and guess what? I have to go back to an institution that i wasn't crazy about in the first place - school. At least I know now what I want to do in life.
Anyways, like I said, for now i'm the MD, CEO, Secretary, office clerk, you name it until I can afford to actually pay some one. It go betta. I had a showing today and like a new business person I tried to get everything right, I went over to the property at the appointed time and waited to my client to get there, as he approached I got out of my car smiled and beckoned to the gate man to open the property gates and as he pulled up in his mercedes and tried to enter, there was a drainage man hole that I hadn't noticed protuding from the ground and it scratched the bottom of his car so badly I thought the car had split into two !
After much of a struggle and all the "Oga turn ya hand go left" "no, turn am straight" and after what seemed like an eternity he actually manouver his way off of the thing. He got out of his car and gave me a "which kind nonsense be this ?" look. No be small saliva I swallow.
I quickly scampered over to him and almost falling over in stilleto office shoes, I gave him a heart felt apology, embarassed for him to the bone .
Luckily the house kind of impressed him and he actually said he would get in touch to negotiate, ( heave of relief). Here's to keeping my fingers crossed.
