So there’s always been a plan. Several steps to a successful
end. How logical or brilliant this plan is...discussion for another day. But
this plan definitely exists.
This blog is one of those steps. In the plan. Getting a job
at Hip Hop World is another.
Very integral step i must add
Why so?
Because of their consistency. Because of what the brand
represents. Quality stuff. Whether it’s their magazine, TV show or awards, HHW
is the most respected because they are the most credible.
Because they are the
best. Every sane person wants to work with the best.
And at the helm of affairs, Mr. Ayo Animashaun (CEO).
Innovative, well-respected, role model. It would be an honour to work for the
man. Directly or indirectly.
So....my plan. It’s time to move to the next step. Get job
at Hip Hop World. And as ‘crazy’ as
this might sound, I had no qualms about how I was going to go about it; or any
uncertainties about whether or not I would get it.
I had worked out the whole thing in my head see. Swagger
into the building. Meet very pretty receptionist at the front desk. Legs
crossed, short red dress.
I smile at her, she smiles back. I tell her my name and
offer my hand. Of course she takes it, still with that coy smile on her face.
Osayiwu, Osas Osayiwu. She’s very pleased to meet me. I’m very sure that she
is.
Then I ask her if Mr. Animashaun is in. I say Animashaun
like the man was my bunkmate in boarding school. She has to ring the intercom
to make sure. Yes, he’ll see me now.
Needless to say, our meeting ends with me blowing Mr. Ayo away
with how smartly dressed, well-spoken and intelligent I am (in that order). You
must have graduated from Covenant University; I did graduate from Covenant
University as a matter of fact....
And I start work there, on very favourable terms, in a week.
In my head
Surprise Surprise...it didn’t quite work out that way
