1. She was accosted by one of
Her friends who have been
Harassed by lending houses that
She should come and pay
2. The loans she took from
her (the creditor) and she
stopped one of her friends
asking her for her financial assistance
3. Her friend who has been privy
To what she was passing through
At the hands of her creditors
Again asked her what she wants
4. To use the money she wants
To borrow for and she told
Her again that she is yet to pay
Her creditors and they are threatening
5. To take her to court to get the money
From her. Her friend then says she
And other friends have been asking
Her for a while now but she has not
6. Provided a satisfactory answer to them,
And the question has ben what has she
Used such money for? It is a huge money
In our country, though our currencies have
7. Been devalued because of the recurrent
Borrowing of the leaders, and in order to
Fill the conditions spelt out to the country by
Our leaders the country’s currency has to be
8. Devalued, but at that, the money she
Said she borrowed is still huge amount
Such that if anyone borrows such money
One ought to use it to execute a good
9. Project which all and sundry would see,
But you cannot point to any substantial project
That you have used the money to execute neither
Can you show any of us your friends any of the
10. Estates that are under construction so that we
Shall know that, that is what has gulped the money
Off your hand. Tell me again, as your close confidant
What did you use the money for?
11. Then she cleared her voice and said it happened
That she got a business proposal on the internet
And the business seems very real because all the
Links sent to her were working well. Because of this
12. She had no inkling that those people
Could be internet phishing, and they requested
That she pays the sum so that the thing would
Seamlessly work I fell into the hand of internet
13. Fraudsters she told her friend like that.
Oh sorry to hear that. Her friend said, but
You should have learnt to carry along one
Of your friends, she told her and now see the
14. Mess that you have dipped yourself into,
See all the embarrassments that you have been
Passing through. I will talk to some of our friends
To see how we could come with some palliatives
15. For you, we shall raise some bail-out funds for
You, she told her. Then her friend says again, she has
Met with someone who is an internet guru and she has
Told her that before one can really boast of surfing
16. The internet, the person must have been duped
By the internet fraudsters. Even if the money would
Not be much, one would still have to fall into the
Hands of scammers she said to her friend.
17. And when this happened to me, that was what
Has been repeatedly coming to my mind, and I have
Been consoling my heart with such words, that to
Make it, one would at a time, or another fall into the
18. Hands of scammers. Her friend laughed and told her
That what she has been brooding over was falsehood,
As it is not correct. It is possible that one makes it without
Falling into the hands of scammers all that matters is
19. That one be extra-careful, and I want to tell you that
Most of the people who fall into the hands of scammers
Are those who are anxious to make it. When you are
Anxious to get something you will want to do anything
20. To satisfy those people and that is what is happening
With many people in our land, those scammers are exploiting
The poverty status of the inhabitants of the country, because
They know that many people wish to be freed from the pangs of
21. Poverty, and after working on the person psychologically,
They will overwhelm the person, and that is where the problem
Lies. Oh! I can see, they really worked on my psychology and
Indeed overwhelmed me, and I fell flat into their hands…
22. Please help me talk to friends to come to my aid, it
Is not good that your friend be held behind the bars now
She pleadingly said to her. I will work towards it and I
Trust with this confession some would come to your aid
