"I was there looking for where I can park my car having visited somewhere in Yaba. So I parked just by the road side thinking and figuring where I can park conveniently.
So this security man of a company walked up and told me if I was coming into their company? I said no. I told him, I just needed somewhere to park. So he assisted me and allowed me park in their parking lot.
I was so appreciative. When I returned. I called him to give him some tip. Then he said sir, you remember me? I said no.
He said sir, I used to work as a security officer in so so company then where you also worked.
I tried seeing if I can remember but I still didn’t remember him.
He now mentioned that i gave him 45k when he had challenges with his accommodation year 2019.
Then I remembered.
He told me sir, pls if you have any vacancy you can help me with, pls help.
Last week, a new micro finance needed new intake of staff, security and driver.
So I told him he could move there to work. He said he will gladly do as they are willing to pay double of his pay where he is.
So I asked him, what qualifications he has. He said OND. Then I spoke with the link I have.
He has attended the interview same last week and will be resuming next month as an admin officer.
I tell people, the world is small. We don’t know where we meet people and for you to be great in life sometimes, it is the intentionality of your personality."
