Greetings to all steemian of this great community. Hope things are getting better. I remain @mbetobongluke from Nigeria and I'm delighted to partake in this contest hosted by @ashkan my regards.
Let me share with you the most terrible shocking moment I had!!!

Worst shocking moment

My worst shocking moment was when I was given money for a project. I hope I won't encounter this kind of shock in my life again. It was as if I was in a dream world.
I had a discussion with this business mogul on how to also cultivate pepper 🌶️🫑 in his farm land. This project has lingered for over 4 months. I keep persuading this man to also establish pepper in his farm land. Not until this rainy season the man called me to make a budget for the cultivation of pepper 🫑 & bring it back to him in less than three days.
I went back home, knowing fully well I will also get some percentage from the money. I started preparing the budget starting from the seedlings, the nursery trays, the chemical's, the fertilizer and of course the workmanship. Everything accommodated the budget of N135,000. I presented the budget to the man, the man deducted certain things & the original amount was 118,000 and the man accent to it.

After some days not up to a week, the man sent me the money. And told me to start preparing.

Since my landlord was also persuading me of his house rent, I had to take off 25,000 from the money and give it to my landlord. & Also take 5,000 and pay provision for myself. Knowing fully well that my percentage will be up to 40,000.
A week after, the man called me on phone 🤳 and said his wife his in the hospital. That he's expecting money between now and evening. That I should send the money He gave me for the project immediately. That later in the week he will refund the money back for the project.

I don't know how come about.... I was seriously shocked. My phone falls why he was about to hang up the call.
I started panting having a review of it was in a dream world 🌍
After I might have used 30,000 for my personal issues thinking the work will cover up the money when the project began.
I went back to my landlord to please refund the money for me, that I will pay him within the week. My landlord chased me off, saying if I wanted packing out..?
2 hours from the man called, I went back with emptiness.
I have to start putting calls across, asking my friends to please lend me some money. After an hour, I was able to gather 26,000. I keep on pushing till the money was complete. I then send it back to the man.

I never experienced this kind of shock before. After the project came to reality, hence the reverse. I learned a lot from the man action in a hard way.
I hope this kind of shock won't happen to me again.

I would love the following friends to participate in this contest,
