My name is alexito peters, I'm from imo state in Nigeria and lives in the first floor of a 2 storey building apartment in spitbat road Owerri.
There's this family of 4 (Mr and mrs ibeh) that lives opposite my apartment and over the years we have grown to be good neighbors, one faithful morning Mr ibeh reached out to me telling how his 17 years old son wants to travel to enugu to hustle with his mate since after finishing high school no money to further his education, I asked Mr ibeh what do you mean by HUSTLE, he said his son uche says he wants to go join his classmates in enugu to hustle.
I asked if he can't go into aprenticeship to learn a trade or even a handwork(skill), he said the son who is just 17 years old doesn't want that so I said it's ok, after few days I saw this 17 years of age leave the house with no accurate information of what he is going to do in enugu, just saying he is going to "HUSTLE" that we should pray for him.
I try to ask him a few questions but it seems he already set his mind where he is going so the parents gave him their blessings to go and "hustle" and make it like others
Two weeks later I asked Mr ibeh, what uche is doing now in enugu he look lost as he can't answer me directly, apparently the boy hasn't still told them what exactly he is doing in enugu so he said "hustling I guess" and we both laughed at it but then Inside my mind I know something wasn't right..
Within three months of hustling, my wife told me Mrs uche said the 17 years old boy who left house just 3 months ago to hustle in enugu sends his parents #1.4million. 400k to buy stuff for the house and #1m to save for him.
i said to myself as a parents You don't bother to ask how the money came about !
Within a few weeks later, he sends #2m to his parents again. Says save 1.5 and use 500k for the household.
You become your 17 year old son's account manager without a verified source of income.
That's sad
Before 19, he buys a 2009 Corolla sport and comes home to show the family.
Celebration everywhere, both young and old in the compound celebrating UNKNOWN SUCCESS.
His new look was a bit of a concern to me but I guess the parents care less, For the first time, in two years, you're seeing your son. Looking like a tout with Dreads, black lips, tattoos, red eyes... Uche's innocence is gone.
Within 2 days of his arrival He changes all the appliances in the house. Opens a small store for the mother and Of course, he's the one responsible for all his siblings.
As a matter of fact, mr Ibeh said he is waiting for his other son to finish high school, so he can go and join uche to "hustle".
By 21, he comes back home again with a GLK Benz 4matic and gives the father the 2009 Corolla to be using.
You still don't know your son's whereabout or where he lives or the source of his wealth.
All we hear is God has blessed my son neighbors join me praise God, OfCourse I thank God for his life, uche is now the talk of the whole neighborhood, some parents use him as reference to inspire their children but I know something isn't right.
At 23, uche return home again buys a plot of land nearby and starts building a duplex immediately for the family.
Within 6 months the magnificent 4 bedroom duplex was completed, their pastor came to dedicate the house.
God has remembered the family he said.
When anyone who cares to know, asks what gave uche such money they tell us;
"Clypto".
