Coming From Mentality

Bolu traveled to another part of the world to make his world great after being left with lots of suffering. Bolu had to run away in search of how his life would be the best. He kept on fighting for his destiny to be great and decided to travel to a country where no one would find him. After getting to the country, he decided to search for a job according to his belief that he is going to get a job with immediate effect. On getting there, the first person he met and made friends with is a guy who is somehow pretending to be good and innocent. He is by the name Seun.

Bolu does not know where to start from and decides to join hands with Seun on a business. They have been together for years and started a business of farming. They were making it big and great. Their first sale was from Garry (cassava flakes). They made great sales from it and they were saving money together in a bank with the same account. . Bolu and Seun later got workers who were working for them and they were paying them. This means they have turned out to help people as they have employed many people on their farm.

Bolu became the talk of the moment as a result of his wealth in the state he traveled to. He made one mistake for not knowing the identity of Seun. He only started working together with him based on trust. The account they both opened happened to be the one each of them will have access to. This means anyone can withdraw money at any time. Seun was pretending to be good not knowing that he had something within him.

One fateful day, Bolu decided to go for outings to meet up with one of his friends instead he met a girl whom his heart went for. He became drawn by love and indeed the one who he loved in return. They became lovers after some weeks of the meeting. Mariam is her name and she happened to be so decent and innocent. Mariam's parents have trained her to be good and nice to everyone without pretending.

When she entered her son's house, she saw deceit in the eyes of Seun. Mariam was not sure of the kind of person Seun is but decided to ask his guy, Bolu, how he met Seun. Bolu explained everything to Mariam about how he met Seun and Mariam was not satisfied with him as there is something she does not like in him. He told Bolu to ask Seun about his identity which Bolu was somehow Afraid to ask him. Being someone he met and immediately they started making money together and saved together after a few weeks of knowing each other. So, it gave him joy as what he was looking for in his hometown, someone made him acquire it. Bolu did not want to believe his girlfriend as his friendship with Seun has become so close.

Once again, Mariam told Bolu to check up with his friend that something is telling her that he is not to be trusted. Bolu never for once believed her girl, Mariam. They lived for another two years where Mariam started saving on her own and from the little she is making from the sales. She made enough which Bolu was aware of. She had never for once hidden anything from her man. Bolu later Wed Mariam. Mariam is a hard-working girl and a no-nonsense girl.

One day, Seun made an excuse that he will be travelling home to meet his parents. Mariam quickly guessed his move and told his husband to watch out for what was going to happen. Within some 5 hours of travel, Seun withdrew all the money in their account and dashed into the air. He switched off his phone and may have changed his phone number. Bolu was surprised to have seen their account empty without leaving a dime in it. Thank God that Mariam has saved some money for them to move on with their lives.

Now they started another life but this time in a different business which made them travel back to Bolu's home town. It would be best for him to travel back to his town as this will make him acquire more. Bolu found his way back to his hometown. He was transporting rice from the city he was to his hometown. Bolu.was now making more gains than before. This was the idea of his wife, Mariam. They were both having the business together and were doing so great together after finding their way home. They became great business couples of all times.

So Bolu did a mistake as he did not act carefully, but thanks to Mariam who saved some money and that saved Bolu and his future. I can relate with this story as I am an unemployed right now and looking for something similar.

First off, you don't entrust joint business with someone you don't know to the extent of opening joint account together. If he had heeded to Mariam's advice then, perhaps he would have taken his share out of the money but thank God Mariam was wise enough to plan for their future. Thank God for the lady she was.

Thank goodness for sensible Mariam. Bolu has learned an important lesson.

One small note for you, @cool08: The last sentence seems to have fallen off!

Hello @cool08. A lesson learned in true friendship and how it must be separate from business relationships. To take advantage of others who trust you is a character flaw. I hope that Bolu can now recognize when a personal relationship can be entrusted to become a working relationship. Often individuals on the outside of a relationship can see more clearly and able to give sound advice.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Exactly. This is also happening to me presently as one of my friends has been turning his back on me just because he has made it and I kept on following him until someone outside told me the truth about my friend. Now I have cut the relationship because it is not fruitful.

Follow what you believe is the right thing to do in all areas of your life. This approach won't fail you because it's based upon your ethics and how you want to be treated by others. What you give is what you get so always do right by others. It may not be reciprocated, but that's on their judgement through life. They may seem to prosper, but that's only outward appearances, which can be deceiving.

You seem to be a level-headed young adult. Stick to your convictions and you'll succeed in life.
