I got to find out that three of our loaders had no phone. I was disappointed. These are guys who makes money on a daily loading and offloading tiles. Not having a phone, even the keypad type of it, didn't make sense. I called one of them to my shop and began to ask him questions. He told me he has been making savings for it. For over a year? I knew he wasn't being truthful. I also got to find out that he spends some of the money on substance. Omo. This happened January this year.
Instead of judging him, I simply expressed my disappointment. Now here is the catch. The reason why I had the boldness to talk to him was because we have a certain level of relationship. I knew he would listen. While I spoke to him, he avoided every form of eye contact. He clearly wasn't proud of it. When I was done, he promised to do better. We shook hands and he left.
To make things easier, I steadily began to give him jobs. Loading and offloading. Yet, he couldn't get the phone. Last week Monday while I was still thinking about it, an idea came to mind. I gave him a job worth over 16,000. When the client sent his money to me, I used 12,500 from it to buy him a phone. One with keypad. When he came form his money, I presented the phone to him. He was confused at first. Until he wasn't. I gave him his balance and demanded he buys a sim.
Just this morning, a number called me. It was him. It was Chibueze. He was calling to give me his new number. A broad smile instantly came upon my face. At the end of the call, he said Thank you LIGHT. Thank God, I responded. To God be the Glory. Yes, it might be small, but to me, it is a BIG WIN.
