2022 was an emotional rollercoaster for me and to make matters worse I had no one to talk to about my struggles. The second semester had just come to an end after three months of not eating well, constant battles with different illnesses and exams that seemed like punishment to seal it up. Going back home was even a problem because I had used the money intended for my transport fare back home to sustain myself in school just so I don't starve to death and just because of this I had to stay back in school to hustle for the body since I already ate the previous one sent to me.
After 9 days of doing off jobs, I was finally able to raise enough money with some spare change to buy souvenirs for my siblings when I get home. The journey was smooth, got home safe and sound, saw that everyone was ok and decided I needed to get a job to save up before resumes since the break was quite long. I searched high and low for something reasonable but unfortunately nothing popped. It was at this point I realized I haven't seen my very good friend since I got back and so I decided to call his number. I tried countless times but for some reason his number was not reachable. Frustrated I decided to drop by his place to see if everything is okay and or if he is at home.
I got to the family house to see his younger brother seated outside watching people mind their business. Without any form of hesitation I walked up to him and asked his brother's whereabouts but the response he gave me smelt really suspicious. He told me his brother had gone to visit an uncle in the village and so the network there was completely terrible. I did not believe his story so I continued digging, I asked his mother but she also gave me the same answer. Anytime I call it's either his number was switched off or unreachable and every time I searched the dumb results I got, kept pushing my heart to the cold belief that my friend was dead and they were covering it up.
Due to my persistent nagging and disturbance, rumor started to spread that my friend was dead as nobody knew where he went and that his parents used him for nefarious reasons. The rumor spread like wild fire and before long people started questioning the parents for the location of their son. Tired of trying to defend themselves, his parents gave in to the pressure and in a few days My friend Chinonso was back home. I asked where he had been all these while and why his number was not reachable. He told me he went to stay with an uncle in Benin Republic so he can learn a trade from him and that also explains the situation with his phone number.
After the misunderstanding was sorted out, Chinonso stayed back for an extra month before heading back to Benin Republic. I am really glad I raised an alarm to his absence else I wouldn't have met him. Till this day Chinonso is still in Benin Republic hustling for his future, I hope it all works out well for him in the end because the boy has definitely gone through a lot.
