They
say victory loves careful preparation, right? Luck shone on Emeka John
at the oddest of places…..a beer parlour. Well, Emeka is a trailer
driver who was spotted drinking bottles of Star lager beer just at the
right time and the right place. Unknown to him, Star was giving away
instant gift prizes for Star drinkers through a raffle draw. Emeka was
given some prizes including a raffle ticket to participate in Star TV
Game Show in Lagos.
Emeka
was flown to Lagos, all expenses paid, from his base in Benin, just to
participate in the Game Show. Since Star Game Show is team-based, he
was by sheer luck grouped alongside David Smith and Ugwu Chukwuemeka.
At the end of the games, the trio emerged the winning team. Each team
member pocketed N1 million for their victory.
When
he was asked about how he felt winning N1 million, Emeka did not waste
time in announcing his resignation. He declared: “My days of working
for other people are over. I will use this N1 million to buy my own
truck.”
If indeed he truly plans to buy his own truck, we wish him well in his future endeavours as
an entrepreneur. But if he just uttered those words on the spur of the
moment or out of sheer excitement, we can only hope that his boss
neither gets to watch that particular episode of Star Game Show on TV
stations; nor read this particular post!
There
are some statements bosses do not find funny when they are spoken by
their employees. One of them is: “My days of working for other people
are over.”
