I finally won

Hello People, a special day to you all.

It's weekend again and people are happy because relaxation will do them a lot of good while people that continue their work don't feel any specialty about the weekend except some occasional functions of the weekend. But we are all good💪.

There's this common saying that "seeing is believing", untill you see what you are expecting believing would be hard. Just like someone saying I love you with just mere words and not backing it up with Actions.

In this part of the world, we've been made not to believe anything or promise from the public mouth unless we see it. Especially in the case of politicians, during the campaign sections they'd promise all manners, Even promise to buy everyone an helicopter just to win the heart of the people so they can vote for them, and immediately they enter the position they give a blocked ear to all the promises made to the masses.

It's just like a man also that's trying to win a ladies heart, he would say all the promising sweet words just to enchant the girl from falling, it doesn't end there also. If the girl happens to fall and probably in a long run, you'll notice that all the promise made earlier were just mere words.

Same thing happens to celebrities that organize giveaways, probably to hit at a huge number of subscribers or maybe to win a contest. You'll find out also that once their aim is achieved, to fulfil their promises becomes a thing of trouble. I don't want to call names but our celebrities are fond of that and the masses usually drag them on Twitter.

Should I talk of banks? Banks are the worst because they will make you to engage with them and when you win, they turn the win to a raffle and they know how to shift it to their person and snap to show to the world that they fulfilled their promises.

The companies also are not left out especially the telecommunication and electronic companies. They will promise to give out phones when you join them in thier programs and if you win eventually, you'll be required to go office by office to claim and at the end of the day nothing comes out.

But I was lucky this time around...

December last year, a telecommunication company did a Christmas season Bonanza and gifted everyone that partook a gift. The most common gift was 1gb of data to the sim you used which they delivered instantly. Then the other gift was a HAMPER VOUCHER to claim some goods from them. I was lucky to win the hamper voucher with one sim and others I got 1gb each. I was happy that day to be selected and MTN(the telecommunication company) sent me my voucher code to use in claiming it on JUMIA.

I login to jumia, I entered the code and saw the goods I won and I was wowed. They said everything cost $11(or so) but what I saw was far above $11 using the rate of purchase here. I entered all the details required and I was scheduled to receive it earlier this month. Although I was happy that I won but the other side of me was calm because most of these things comes as AUDIO(not real), so I was on "seeing is believing". My WhatsApp group members received also and they were all Happy.

Few days to the delivery day, I got a mail and SMS that the order has been cancelled. I wasn't shocked because that's normal to anything free. But what baffled me was how MTN engaged with such a big delivery company and cancelled the order, I called MTN customer care to see what they would say. The customer care representatives that picked knows nothing about the GIVEAWAY, so bad. I chatted the Jumia on Facebook and they told me it's the MTN that canceled the order because the good they budgeted got finished. That was when I removed my mind.

Fastforward, four days ago, I received a mail that my order as been placed again and I should expect it in some days to come. "They've started again" I laughed at the mail. Another day, a mail came again that it has been shipped, and ready to be delivered...I was amazed, it seems they mean good this time around.

Just yesterday, they forwarded the number of the delivery agent that I should be expecting his call. Just like a dream, around afternoon yesterday, the call came I went there and I claimed the package.

Getting to my workplace, I opened it and it was true, all they listed on the app were inside.

My co-workers rushed the four Coca-Cola bottles inside and consumed them instantly. They were asking questions on how I got the gift from MTN and all I told them was, since they complain I presses phone a lot, there's no need telling them because what I just received was "pressed out" from phone. Lol🤣

Kushyzee how far, you got yours as well? Or it entered voicemail?🤔

Thanks for reading
