*We love the dead-ones more than the living-ones!*
This Is Life !
MY HOUSE WAS ABOUT TO BE LOCKED ......
On the 29th of November 2018 just because I was not able to raise the rent.
I posted it on facebook seeking for help, but all I got were 2 likes & zero comments.
So l sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting for a loan of $1500.
Sadly only 10 people replied. 6 out of the 10 claimed they couldn't help. Only 1 out of the 4 who said they could help actually gave me some money but the rest only gave me excuses and never picked my calls.
In the end, my door was locked. I had no where to sleep.
I walked in the dark seeking options and sadly a thief stole my empty purse with my identity card in it.
He was badly hit by a fast moving car as he was running away, so he died.
Fast forward>> The next day, news quickly spread around that I had died.
About 2,500 people posted on my wall how they knew me.
How great I was !
A committee was formed by my,
*loyal friends* who contributed $18000 to feed guests at my funeral.
My colleagues at work teamed up and brought another $4500 for a coffin, tents and chairs.
I was to be burried in a coffin worth $1500- the same amount I needed for rent.
Relatives also met. It was a rare occasion for them to meet, so they met and contributed an extra $3000.
Everyone wanted to volunteer in order to appear they were helping.
They printed T-shirts with my image.
Each T-Shirt costing $2.50, or so the T-shirt man made about $25000 from my presumed death.
Everyone wanted to speak at my funeral.
There was drama all over from people who never knew how l survived.
There was even rumour that I was murdered by my friends.
Speeches were made on how talented I was, even by those who never attended my events.
The few friends who supported me didn't even get the chance to speak during my funeral - although they knew the Truth.
In fact, they were prime suspects for my ‘death’.
You could imagine how the scene turned after I showed up alive!
Some thought l was a ghost.
