Chance or Destiny..Part 2 continued.....

Fail to plan means you plan to fail as the saying goes so as someone ready for a task i felt i had planned enough.

The following week i moved my team to site to start excavation,the vendor i was using had an engineer on site who reports directly to me so everything was on motion.Because the site was enclosed we had worked for 4 days undisturbed ,i checked my schedule tracker,we were on point ad i had even started sending progress report to the office feeling like one James Bond.

Trouble started on the 5th day,apparently the area boys did not quickly figure out what was happening in the compound until they saw a truck load of granite and sand enter the premises,immediately they began networking and of course GSM really helped matters.I had left john the engineer on site that day since it was getting to like 5pm infact in my mind i had called it a day,i was already dreaming of sitting in that beer parlour beside my house and cooling down with a bottle of odeku as reward for a good day's job.Driving to 7up former toll gate,my phone rang,John was calling me,i thought he had forgotten to give me a particular update so i picked the call.


'Hello ,engineer there are some people here that want to speak to you o'
'Who?' i asked
'them say dem be omo onile o'
'how many dem be'
'Oga mi ,dem be battalion o!,
'battalion ke?give their Oga the phone'
John passed the phone to their oga.


The minute he collected the phone he just started threatening me,swearing and shouting telling me that there is no way we can succeed on the site that infact for deceiving them we will pay through our nose and that as a matter of fact they have seized the working tools and they will make sure they discipline John before they leave the site.


All these cacophony through my phone was spoken in yoruba.Being a sharp man now so that i will not carry last, i also shouted back at him,made some hollow threats then cut the phone.
After like 5 mins my phone rang again,it was John.
'hello John ,wetin hapun again now' i asked him
'oga wetin u tell these people now,dem don de beat me since o'
'waattttt?'
'blood dey all my head o,dem break bottle for my head'
'ehn,bottle ke?.i shouted........i talk.for my mind ,i don die,e be like say i don march line o
'ok,go treat yourself.i go show 2mro,kpele,shey u hear'
i dropped the call before Road safety go nab me.


Now,as a Lagos boy,i have some armed forces boys that i usually hang out with that i have even used some of them on my sites, so i was debating with myself.
should i call Lekan Navy or Abu the Soja?..................
