THE BETRAYAL OF BROTHERHOOD 😏😏😏
So this company reached out to me to assist them get a trusted person for immediate employment for a lucrative position and when I contacted someone I considered fit for the position, he told me he would contact someone, his bosom friend, who he thinks should get a job as well, cos they’ve been praying all along for such job, since himself is employed already.
How well do you know this your bosom friend? I asked as he sent me his contact, cos I don’t know him, and I don’t want to bring someone who’ll give the organization headache.
He praised this young man, defended him and raised his profile to the skies, praising his qualities and abilities to an exceptional degree.
I called him by his name and he answered, I said; I’ll do my findings and get back to you before submitting his CV to the organization. He responded with; Trust me boss, my guy no fit fall my hand!
Fast forward to when I contacted the guy, his bosom friend now, so we started our conversation. Since I have a name to protect before the organization, me too, I had to carefully do my diligent findings about his kinda person. So we started;
Me: Bruh, someone gave me your contact and told me you know Mr. A, please do you know him?
Mr. B: Yes sir, I do. We’re friends though.
Me: That’s great. I was told that as well.
So a company is interested in hiring him and is willing to offer a competitive salary. However, they want a personal reference to vouch for his character before reaching out to him. That's where you come in. Can you tell me a bit about his personality and work ethic? The company is looking for someone reliable and wants to avoid any potential liabilities or possibly problematic person.
Mr. B: Hmmmmmmmmm, actually sir, I’ve known him for years now and I can tell you that he can’t handle such position. I’m not saying he’s a bad person o, but for the position, he’s just not fit for it.
Me: Alright, so why do you say so?
Mr. B: Actually sir, this is not something we can talk on phone, but trust me, he doesn’t have the qualities of being in that position, secondly, he has a bad record right from village, in our church and even in our neighborhood. Is that the kind of person you people want sir?
Me: No bruh! Are you serious about all these? So what do you think should be done now and what is this thing he does that you’re particular about, what if we give him a try and see if he’s a changed person now or improved?
Mr. B: Lol…sir, that’ll be a waste of time, cos I know what I’m saying and who he is. He can never change, trust me. Unless the company just want to manage him, then fine!
But the person who gave you my contact was supposed to know that I’m even more qualified than my friend nau, eh oga. Chuckles 🤭
Me: Oh, really? I didn’t know. So you’re saying we should give you the job opportunity instead of your friend, simply put?
Mr. B: That’ll save you some stress sir. I can’t lie to you.
Me: Alright bruh, I don’t know how best to tell you now that this your friend actually recommended you to me and whatever discussions we just had were simply interviewing you. Thanks for your time bruh and keep being a good friend.
Mr. B: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrhhhhhhhh!!!!
Oga!!!
Please don’t tell him I said all that, abeg!
Me: Have a great day.
When I called his friend who recommended him, I told him; try and get yourself a friend like you, but for the job, the interview showed he’s not the rightful person for it.
MORAL LESSON:::::::
Most People who you can take büllët for all the time in the name of friendship, will warn you seriously if your blööd dare stain them😏
When push comes to shove, people's true intentions may be revealed, and self-interest can take precedence over friendships or relationships.
Did I forget to tell you that we’re living in a world where someone you’re chasing the spirits with can wake up and accuse you of smelling spirit, spirit.
DON’T STOP DOING GOOD, BUT THEN, KNOW WHO YOU CALL YOUR FRIEND. STAY VIGILANT!
Happy New Month 🙌🏻
