Two days later, festus went to China and bought goods then he returned back after some days.
hmm…. so this man have gone to China and bought many goods, look at how his shop is filled up with so many goods with different product, while me am still buying from alhaji kazeem, ah… am even talking, look at how customers are trooping in and out from his shop, while me no customer have enter my shop since morning apart from that credit man that called himself ebano, all he knows is to buy credit without paying money, hmm God forbid I can never live my life on credit like ebeano. Well as for festus I know next thing to do. “As Nicholas was still talking to himself, his phone began to rang and it was alhaji kazeem calling.
“Hello!! nicho my man “alhaji kazeem said over the phone
Alhaji! Alhaji!! longest time, I did not hear from you again, what happened? Nicholas asked
Am sorry jare, just that my boys didn’t succeed in bringing the goods from the warehouse I sent them to bring, they said that the security there was tight, so I have to figure out another place that I will send them, but finally they succeeded this time but was almost caught. “Alhaji kazeem explained
“But I hope they bring the product I normally buy, because my customers don’t like the other one. “Nicholas said
why not they brought all the products you want, just come for the goods you like. “alhaji said
Alhaji my man I trust, that is why I normally buy from you because you are a good business man and you sell in a cheaper rate for me, don’t worry am coming right away .”Nicholas happily said over the phone
Alright, I will be waiting for you. “alhaji kazeem said and after that he ended the call.
.
After Nicholas finished what he was doing in the shop, he went to alhaji kazeem place and bought all the goods he needed, after that he came back to his shop with his goods which a bus offloaded.
.
Later that afternoon festus went to Nicholas shop to see him.
Nicholas my brother is like you went to buy new goods? festus asked smiling

wow! you mean Douglas the one that normally import his goods from Japan and Dubai? festus asked
Exactly my brother “Nicholas replied
Eyaa…. but why buying from him, everybody knows that his goods are very costly, how will you see your profit if you keep on buying from Douglas. “festus said
what will I do if I don’t buy from him, where else will I buy? Nicholas asked
To my own suggestion, why not anytime that am going to China you give me your own money to buy for you, because electronic are very very cheap in China, with that you will earn a lot of profit. “festus suggested
thanks for your concern, I will think about it and get back to you. “Nicholas said
Alright, is for your own good “festus said and after that he went back to his shop
Look at him, so because you are going to China to buy goods, somebody will not hear word again, thunder fire 🔥 you for telling me that, you have see me that don’t use to go to China Abi, stupid man, ah….. Nicholas you have suffered just look at how this man was insulting me, you think I don’t have money to go to China? don’t worry wait and see, me I will go to USA to import my own goods, you are going to common China and be making noise up and down nonsense. “Nicholas thought to himself
.
One week later, festus went to China again to buy more goods because the other goods he bought have finished, so he decided to buy more. After some days he returned .
Nicholas on the other hand saw how festus business was moving and growing, he became very jealous.
Ah…. this man is looking for my trouble ooo, he is making me to feel bad, Everytime he normally go to China to buy goods, does it mean that the one he bought last week have finish? while the one I bought from alhaji kazeem is still much, I don’t even think that I will sell all that in the next two months because customers hardly come to my shop to buy from me, no problem I know what next to do, festus you are going down, I can’t take this anymore before I die of bp .”Nicholas said to himself
.
One day, festus came back home looking very sad and worried, his wife grace had broke down and cried when festus told her of how fire destroyed his shop and goods.
Honey! how did it happened? grace asked crying
I went this morning to the shop, only to discovered that everything was burnt down including the shop, am finished I just bought new goods with my life savings. “festus sobbed
