I carried olosho for 3 months and the money almost finished me

2023. I was 20, squatting with a friend in Surulere, no gig, nothing. My cousin Chidinma called me one afternoon, said she had something that pays ₦80k every weekend. She just said 'you go just dey follow me, no questions.'

First night we went to a hotel off Adeniran Ogunsanya. She collected the money from the man, gave me my cut, and told me to stand outside the door. I stood there for 2 hours. That was the job. Standing. Watching. Making sure nobody came in. And the money was real. By month 2 I had moved out of my friend's place. I bought a phone. I started feeling like I was doing something.

Then one night a girl came out crying, blood on her wrapper. Chidinma told her to go and wash. I stood there and something in me just shut down. I finished that night, collected my ₦80k, and blocked Chidinma's number before I reached my house. I still think about that girl. I don't even know her name.
