A very touching story, The life of Gbenga

Gbenga dropped out of sec. school. Although a
very bright student one thing or the other made
him leave school, his boyhood friend Peter
however managed to go on with his studies, and
at a time when it wasn’t easy to make a Division
A, in WAEC, Peter did. He won a scholarship to
study abroad and left for London where he did a
first and postgraduate degree, crowning it with a Ph.D in Aeronautic Engineering, he was a hot
cake and had his pick of jobs abroad. Time
passed and Gbenga forgot about his friend Peter.
Gbenga married, had 7 kids, and was in the
village suffering.
One fateful day he went to the market in Bukuru,
as he made to cross the road an oncoming car
sreeched to a stop, pulled over to the curb and
stopped. A well dressed man stepped out,
shouting his name. If not for the familiarity of
the man's features and voice, Gbenga would
have ran away but something made him to stop
and walk back towards the car. He bent
respectfully and greeted the man standing
beside the well polished car. Gbenguse, is this
you? The car owner enquired, calling Gbenga's
nickname, way back in his secondary school
days. It all came back, he hadn't heard that
name for decades, taking a closer look he
discovered this was his one and only friend from way back - Peter! He took 2 steps back and shouted, Perosky danger! (peter's nickname)
This is u? What u doing here? Pleasantries over, Gbenga narrated his ordeal to Peter who was actually in a hurry heading back to Lagos to catch a flight the next day back to London, he had no time. He pulled from his glove compartment a Union Bank Cheque Booklet, wrote a cheque of 5million, handed it over to his friend and zoomed off.
In the euphoria, Gbenga did not even ask for
Peter's address, there was no Gsm then so no
phone numbers were exchanged either. Of
course Gbenga could read the words on the
cheque well, he quickly left the market and went
home to tell the wife and leave for Union Bank at Jos to cash the cheque.
He called his wife inside and told her what had happened. He proceeded to tell her his intentions about the money. He would give her 500k to start her business while he would build a house, expand his yam farm and then lastly, marry a second wife to help on the farm! The wife heard nothing except two words
'second wife'. Enraged beyond words, she
grabbed the cheque from the husband and
chewed and swallowed it!
Thats the end of the story.
Magana ya kare..
Hmmmmmm, if you were the guy what would you do?
