We are not mates anymore.

Sah, did you say eight as in 8PM?

3. During your training and you hear the kind of target they have

It’s not me that will go to the marketing department abeg.

4. When they end up putting you in the marketing department

Nobody said the road will be this rough.

5. And they tell you your target is N350 million

Must be a mistake, prank, or an expensive joke.

Na jazz?

Eskiss sir, you need to calm down abeg.

What sort of people are in this world?

This is the end.
