I dey my own o, dey
think about my life when this message from MTN entered my phone
MTN better me, recharege #2015 to get 2015mb data. Valid for 30 days*
The offer sounds good so I decided to try it.
I started
running around looking for money( na im pain me pass). Finally I was able to
raise the money, I subscribed and 2015mb ie 2 gb was given to me , I happy well
well.
I will browse for a little while, log out and check my balance
(that is what caused the problem).
Whenever I dialed *123*4*2#, instead of my
balance to show straightaway, a list numbering 1-5 will pop up.
No 1 is to buy
No 2 is to check balance
No 3 is to cancel subscription
No 4 is to cancel auto renew and so forth
The next day, I was very busy in the morning, I was browsing
and cooking at the same time. After a while, I checked my balance, and I got this message.
*You have successfully cancelled your subscription.* Chei
yippee, I don die ooo. i screamed
I wore my clothe sharp sharp
and started running to mtn office( it was when I reached their office
that I noticed that I was not wearing bra choi!)
As I was running ,swearing and cursing , I met one
busy body woman in my area, she started shouting my name,
Busy body: hey ! hey chy, where are you rushing to like that
? wetin be the problem?
Me: Na mtn
Busy body: mtn ke? Wetin they do you?
Me: They thief my data
Busy body: ah! Wetin be data?
Me: data na mb
Busy body: wetin be mb again?
I gave her a dangerous look, she saw that I’m highly annoyed
and she just smiled,
Busy body: Okay, I don sabi am, I even get am too. Thank you for telling
me, I will guard my own with a jealous heart so mtn and co no go thief am.
Take am easy……..
She was still ranting as I crossed the road. As I reached
mtn office, I was directed to a male staff.
Staff: hello madam what can I do for you?
*Oga I lost my data*
*What do you mean by that? Pls can you explain very well?*
*Ok, I was browsing this morning, and I wanted to go and
check what I was cooking in the kitchen*
Staff: Go on. he urged me.
Me: Then I decided to check my balance
Staff: and?
Me: I pressed no 2 which is for checking of balance and I got a
message that I have successfully cancelled my subscription. How I go cancel my subscription of two thousand naira eh? I
be thief or ah be ashawo huh?
Staff: ok let me check the system. He checked the system for a minute and released a bombshell.
*Madam it’s you that cancelled the subscription by 11 am this
morning. May be you mistakenly pressed no 3 and that means to cancel.*
Me: ok maybe I made a mistake but can you rectify it? You
can recover my data right?
Staff: well this is computer controlled, once you enter a
command, it carries it out, there is nothing I can do about it.
Me: meaning?
Staff: Meaning that your data is gone.
Me:Say that again.
Staff: Madam calm down
Me: I say, say that again!!! I shouted at him
What vexed me the most was the nonchalant attitude the man dey use to address my matter as if to say two thousand naira na 2 kobo for this hard economy!!.
By now all the blood in my body were rushing to my head
colliding with every vein, artery, bone and marrow( is this what they call high
blood pressure huh?) o dikwa very dangerous my people.!
Slowly some of the blood entered my eyes and all I was
seeing was blood, blood, blood!!!
I weighed the man, the man too big for me , I no
go fit beat am, I began to curse am in Igbo.
Ara gbagbuo gi inugo? Asim kitikpa
rachaa gi anya, thunder gbarie gi isi there!
The way the man was looking at me, it’s like he does not
understand igbo, i switched over to Yoruba.
Ole , oloshi, , oloriburuku somebody!
I checked his face
e be like say im no dey hear Yoruba, I switched over to hausa.
Waka, shege, banzaaaaaa! I screamed.
The man still dey watch me with a dazed look, e be like say im
dey enjoy the drama wey I dey act.
I weighed the man again, still, he's too big
for me , ah no fit try am.
I began to cry, *oh my data, my dataaa, my 2 gib oooooo!!!*
People started consoling me, one man actually offered me a condolence message *take heart madam, please accept my sympathy, God has given God has taken. Take heart you hear*
I looked at the man and sighed, *craze people everywhere you go*. I just got up ,wiped my face and walked out dejectedly.
Since that time, i dey look mtn and their offers with one kain eye. rubbish!!
