JABJoke: Akpors and his malaria dream

Akpors met a pretty lady a few years ago, she approached him and initiated a conversation with him. She was driving an SUV that day, they exchanged contacts.
She worked as a senior staff in Chevron. She also owned a couple of properties in Lagos and Johannesburg.

They became very close, and as a poor guy, Akpors was very loyal but she wanted him to be the man in the relationship.
Each time they met her friends, she would be like, “Baby please buy me this… buy me that…”.
It’s her money but she painted a picture that he was the one spending on her. She bought clothes that Akpors never would have looked at because of the outrageous amount it would cost and said he bought it for her as a gift. She rented a 2 bedroom flat for him and each time she came around, she washed his clothes and cooked for him. She suggested that he became independent, that he should quit his N25,000 salary job and start his own business.
She budgeted N15million for his business. Akpors started asking himself what was going on? She hadn’t even met his parents, He hadn’t even proposed to her.
Akpors went ahead and resigned. They started preparing for his first business trip, buying of Visa and all that. She finally transferred the money to his account.
That afternoon, Akpors came to the bank to transfer the money to his domiciliary account, he waited for a long time. Just when it was about to be transferred, his phone rang and it was a friend he owed N400 who woke him up from the dream.
ONE WORD FOR AKPORS THIS TIME?

A bug and Akpors

Every night, Akpors would go down to the liquor store, get six bottles of beer, bring them home, and drink it while he watched TV. One night, as he finished his last beer, the doorbell rang. He stumbled to the door and found a six-foot cockroach standing there. The bug grabbed him by the collar and threw him across the room, then left.

SHORT BUT SAD STORY: The Scorpion And The Turtle

O nce upon a time, the scorpion wanted to cross the river. It noticed a turtle on the rock and begged the turtle to ferry it across the river where it could find some succulent green vegetation. The turtle asked, "How can i be sure you will not sting my neck?" "Don't be silly," the scorpion shouted back, "If i did that, we would both drown." The turtle was persuaded and so they both swam (with the scorpion strapped to the turtle's back) towards the green vegetation. When they were almost at the end of the river, contrary to its promise, the scorpion stung the turtle on the neck. Struggling to make it to the riverbank and gasping, the turtle with a look of betrayal asked the scorpion, "Why did you do this to me?" Jumping off from the turtle's back to safety on the land, he replied, "I thought you might dive under the water and drown me." What did you learn guys? I learnt that people find it very hard to trust others.
