PART 2: THEY LOCKED ME IN...THEN N10 MILLION ARRIVED
I sat down slowly on that old mat and for the first time in my life,i understood what it felt like to become invisible inside your own family but perhaps you are wondering how did a man who once had a car, a good job and his own apartment end up locked inside his younger sister's BQ?
Let me take you back.?
A few years earlier,i worked in a bank. I wasn't rich but I was comfortable. I dressed well,drove my own car, lived in a decent estate and people respected me.
Then one day, a friend came to me with what he called a ‘sure business opportunity.’ "Oil and gas". He told me the returns would be huge. He convinced me to take a ₦4 million loan and i trusted him,trust that almost destroyed my life.
I signed the documents,the money came and then,he disappeared. His phone went off,his house was empty. Nobody knew where he had gone.
The bank didn't care about my excuses because the loan was in my name. Soon,everything started collapsing. First, my employer suspended me then they fired me and the debt followed me everywhere.
My phone stopped ringing,and people who once called me ‘Boss’ suddenly became too busy to answer my calls. When my rent expired, I started begging relatives and friends for help.
NOW I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:
If you were in my position and your trusted friend disappeared after collecting a ₦4 million loan in your name, what would you do?
Would you:
A. Keep fighting to repay the debt yourself?
B. Report your friend to the authorities immediately?
C. Ask your family to help you, even if they were embarrassed by your situation?
D. Is everything possible to find the friend who betrayed you?
