Nigerian man calls out his younger brother for always trying to take his girlfriends from him

"An "Uncle" who worked with PTDF once took my CV shortly after I returned from NYSC. Before agreeing to help, he asked his wife, who had approached him on my behalf, "Has he achieved anything meaningful? A first class or second-class upper, perhaps?" She assured him I had an upper second-class degree. Satisfied, he collected the CV and placed it beside the "Oga Chair" he was sitting on. It was a Sunday evening, and he planned to leave Kaduna for Abuja the following morning.

"Something in me doubted he would submit the CV or do anything about it. So, on Monday afternoon, I went back to his house. I quietly checked behind the chair where he’d been sitting the previous day, and there it was—my meticulously crafted CV, untouched. I shook my head, picked it up, folded it, and tucked it into my back pocket."

He said when he came back, his uncles's wife said the CV had been submitted, not knowing he was the one who picked it.
