Adventures Of Oko Ashawo The Uber Driver -19

Another unputdownable write up from Oko Ashawo.............

Just before the lockdown business was good and it had been a very busy Saturday and i was really happy that i had worked for only a few hours but had made enough money for the day.....

Counting the money i made that day brought a smile to my face and i wished every day would be good.....

I got home and settled in but got a call from a receptionist at a hotel nearby to be available for a client who would want to go out clubbing that night. He just came into town and he needed a trusted hand so I was recommended. 

I thought to myself that making extra money for the night was not a bad idea.

I picked up the client and he wanted me to take him to the nicest nightclubs around. He said he came into town for business and may also need my help to show him around later in the week since he was new in town.

We finally settled for a club and i wanted to stay back in the car,but he asked me to join him because he did not want to be alone. He ordered for Vodka and soft drinks to go with it. 

As I know say I no get head for drink, I just mix plenty coke and very small vodka dey sip am small small.

After a while, he saw a girl he liked and he asked her to join our table. They got talking and she negotiated for twenty thousand Naira for the night. 

Hian? A whole 20k? I had charged him 10k for the night’s service but he begged me to collect 6k because he didn’t have much on him now ashawo want to collect double the money just for jolly jolly?Ha!!!

As i listened to them bargain,the devil whispered into my ears to drink more as it was one of the benefits of my kind of Job...

I liked the sweet taste of the mixture and cannot remember how much drink I had that night till i had to drop them off around 4am at the hotel...

I was very tipsy but I managed to drop them off and head home. The last thing I remembered was that I put the money I was paid in the pigeon hole of the car and a security guard opened the exit gate of the hotel for me to drive out.

I came back to reality when it was already bright and sunny and as I tried to figure out where I was,i realised i had parked my car along the street that led to the hotel and slept inside the gutter beside the car.

 What????? 

I even peed on my body and my head banged with severe headache accompanied by severe throwing up

After checking for my money and phone,i  put myself together and drove home.

 I could not work that day because the whole day was a mess,i had terrible stomach ache and three up continuously..

I made a vow never to drink on the Job again,irrespective of whether it was free drink or not.....

I got paid less than the Ashawo that i dropped off with the man even though i spent longer hours with the man i dropped off with the ashawo.....

....I know this because ashawo no dey stay with customer till day break because they always look different after all the do and loss of make up....Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
