How I met my mentor and I unmentored him

 As a young girl glued to her screen while growing up. I listened to this young man a Nigerian who studied abroad. He spoke so eloquently, so passionate about wanting to develop and contribute to Nigeria. I was so happy to be a Nigerian seeing him fly around the world 

to meet dignitaries like the Queen of England, The Pope, International business men and the likes. I would join his live on Instagram and listen to his shot messages and it gave my spirit a lift anytime I was giving up on my dreams. 
I really liked him as mentor and he discovered I was always the first set to come online to contribute to his classes and I was added to a group chat of Intellectuals. See me priding. Time to time he will send things for me to study and trust me way like book, I will do so 
It kept on for a while until I relocated to Lagos.
Right before now he notified us he wanted to contest for a particular position in the state and people rallied around him because they were ready to support him.
Na so the man begin show real colour.
As election no favour am, they give him another position in the state and he needed ideas on how to move in his new office of appointment and he needed crazy deep thinkers to work with.
He invited some of the intellectuals but with my kinda work I couldn't attend. 
I reached out to him to inform him I won't be able to make it so he said I could come around when I was free to go through what they were able to develop and I could add a thing or two.

So I looked forward to my off day and opened my mind to idea creation and development 
I sell shoes @ps_wears and I love to look good, smelling nice is a norms for me, na so I set out ooo. In a pair of jean and a round neck top.
Note before that day I have never seen him physically , never met him but I see pictures. 
I got an address & took an uber there.
I arrived the said location & made my way to his office.
I met his office assistant and was asked I wait, someone was in there with him.

I started pressing phone, checking twitter and all and wrote down few safety messages on IG 
Just immediately I posted it, his office door opened. He smiled at me and walked his visitor out. He came back and I was called in.

We exchanged pleasantries and he handed me the laptop to go through the ideas. The drew up beautiful contents that if the state used they would achieve a lot in the sector he found him self. I was so into editing the contents because it was in raw format. When he went out and came back with tea. You can't give e drink if I wasn't there when you opened it or made it. I declined I didn't want.

We had a very interesting conversation, idea developed and properly written out and I was ready to leave, Lagos and traffic.

I showed him and he smiled back saying nice job. 
Should I continue? 
He asked when next I was free, he would love I go through some documents for presentation and I told him he could share via mail so I go though and if I feel anything should be added I will do an and inform him. He insisted I come around. 
I said I would notify him if I was gonna be free on my next off day. I guard my off days because I have to cook, clean, wash and rest.
I don't joke with my off at all.

Next question was what perfume do you use.
Where did you get your shoes from.

I answered oo 
I told him I sell shoes. @ps_wears
He ashed to see what I had and I showed him.
He picked 5 different classy shoes that was about 250k and made a transfer immediately.

As a business woman wey I be.
I called the shop to package it immediately and deliver next morning. 
He asked how comfortable I was finding lagos. Lagos is fine, I'm coping.He asked where I stay I started to wonder why the plenty question so I said I stay with my uncle & his family which wasn't true

He asked why I didn't get my self a house. I told him I didn't want to rush 
He stated telling me he will get a house for me in Lekki, infact buy me a car, get a maid for me to help with cleaning. Take me on vacation to Dubai and any country of my choice.

You need to see me evaluating If the man was high on his tea 
Asked if I have passport or he will call his contact in immigration to start processing one.

Asin I just open my waist purse remove my pin knife hold, set my pepper spray so one hand I go pepper him face if he comes close. 
Asked if I have passport or he will call his contact in immigration to start processing one.

Asin I just open my waist purse remove my spin knife hold, set my pepper spray so one hand I go pepper him face if he comes close.

I was irritated but I was calm. 
Kindly retweet so more can learn a thing or more.

I am just about to start the story. 
He kept blabbing about how he has toured nations of the world, who he knows bla bla bla.

All that one was for me to fall for him.
Ogbeni thought he was talking to some desperate chick who wants to gumbody to him to look successful.

Little did he know 
Told me my kind of lady deserves an elderly man to shower her with love, attention, money & besides I'm very intelligent. He will hook me up with several people who will need my idea creation & I will make money.

I was now getting bored.
I couldn't hide my facial disgust anymore 
That I was a beautiful black glowing lady.
And that I should be happy someone of his class and status is showing interest in me🤣🤣🤣 werey was feeling himself 
I just took my phone looked at my man's picture and said Zhaddy this one done fuckup.
Your baby girl is just for you and you alone.

He asked what that meant & I told him to take a look at the picture. He did. I told him I have to leave because all he said isn't related to idea 
creation. 
I stood up to leave after collecting my phone.
He stood us and wanted to touch me.
Telling me there is no point going home that day.
I spinned my knife sharply.
That he has an executive room in one of the most beautiful hotels in Lagos.
That we could spend the night there🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 
Werey still get mouth.
I told him to sit down.
He had no choice when he saw pepper spray, he said he has asthma.
I told him then cooperate.
I was still wondering how a lot of ladies would have falling victim of this man. 

I just left after being speechless.
Nothing could drop from my mouth. 
I waited for my uber to come pick me and I left for home. He started calling. Begging that he knows I was disappointed but I shouldn't blame him. That I was a fine lady and that he is very careful of ladies he relates with. Omo I didn't know when I shouted shutthefuckup 
Even the uber driver self fear🤣🤣
I ended the call. While on my trip home I was really worried because poverty rate in Nigeria has made this people think they can use sweet words to tell advantage of young girls who look up to them 
immediately I looked at the group of Intellectuals.
Only to discover they were all female🤧🤧

I sat up again and I became very very confused. 
15 young ladies😳
Are you thinking what I'm thinking 
I decided to become an active member of the group because I had an aim.
What was going on with this women?
Is this situation only happening to me or have this girls gone through the same thing.
I was very very scared but trust me I as willing to kno more 
Sincerely most of them are very very intelligent, beautiful and ladies that can easily intimidate you with the kind of intelligence and choice of words.

The kind of ladies that will sweep you off your feet because of who sound they are. But most have bee at one point in their 
lives been seriously hurt by men, they have been used, lied to and told they were too smart to be gfs or wives. 
I became friends with them by telling them how beautiful they were, I discovered they fell for words and I knew something more was happening. They all went to dinners with this man as idea Assistant 🤧🤧 I was curious to ask how the night turned out after the even but none 
of them wanted to talk about it.
He was so smart that they were all friends and never thought they were all being used. He played them all smartly taking turns to which one suits his desires and they kept it hidden 
He made everyone believe in themselves.
They all felt very special, very very unique because he reassures them daily.

He tried removing me from the group but I was added back by the girls. He knew trouble was about to start. 
He took this girls on several trips outside the country & none of them had a clue of what was going on.

One day I asked about our mentor's wife, he has been good to us and we should become friends of the family. Let's know his wife & make her our friend and all the girls said No 
I smiled because yes they were already in love with a married man and didn't want to be close to his wife 🤧🤧 
One day we had a disagreement in the group and some of them started calling themselves names.
it was evident some of them knew they were sharing the man. But they didn't want to miss out of the goodies. I even got to know one was married. And she was still that close to him 😳 
He kept calling me regularly to beg I forgive him and when the fight in the group stated he needed someone to talk to. He claimed he needed help.
Me I'm not interested in helping because that could be an opportunity to do his evil ways 
I told him to look elsewhere.
The group scattered when I showed them his chat. Calling them easy women 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
They felt hurt and started leaving the group.
He saw what I did and called me to vent.
Werey didn't know the girls were with me.
They told him they're coming for him 
If 16 ladies plan for you it takes the grace of God for you to escape it. Little did I know they were others before I joined the group 
They reached out to others, some married, some single working class ladies, some children of his bosses in politics, one who lost her womb to abortion 🤦‍♀️ 
When I heard their stories I went speechless. They traced his wife only to find out madam knew her husband wasn't faithful an that as payback none two of his kids were that of her lover😳😳.

Oga got to know when this girls visited him to tell his wife about him. 🤣🤣 
She told him cheating can be done by all gender. You played me for 10years thinking you're smart. I played you for 7 years successfully having you raise someone's children. 
Na so party scatter.
My girls are now free from a mentor who took advantage of them.
His home is on fire.
The girls whose parents brought him into politics are out for him.
They don't want to be called out but they gave consent to me writing this. 
Not everyone who speaks goog English, writes well, talks eloquently and stands for something good is a mentor.

Some mentorship should never get physical.
It should be pen-pal standards 
Arm your self with discipline so sugar coated mentors don't lead you to destruction.

Don't pick the fast way to success.
It may be your greatest mistake 

How photographer mentor was sleeping with Models and makeup artist

 Teni (not her real name) happens to be a very slim tall lady was born into a family of two kids and happens to be the first daughter.

He unique height and glowing black skin gave her out with her pretty smile.
She became face of her school, Sport house Queen and that was how she grew passion for modeling.
She was just in secondary school and she was ready to be models like Naomi and Agbani. 
Teni wasn't born into wealth but to an average family and she was ready to take advantage of her height and beautiful skin since she wasn't too sound academically. 
While in secondary school a lot of major makeup houses invited her to model for them. That way she met a lot of photographer, light guys, cinematographers, makeup artist and more models. 
She knew she was very good at anything fashion so she decided to learn makeup while she waited for her result. So she asked all those big makeup houses she had worked with and the fee was too much for her parents to afford. 
On a beautiful Thursday evening she got a  call from one photographer she has worked with when in secondary school about a job. He needed her for a shoot on Saturday and she gave consent that she will be available 
What else will a free secondary school graduate do when her parents can't even afford to pay a hundred plus for her makeup class. She jumped at the offer and went out. When she discovered it was a big job and that could help her modeling career. The shoot couldn't hold that day but she was to come back  Wednesday for the shoot.
She arrived early on Wednesday and her hair was made, nails fixed and make up done. She was dressed in a very beautiful Igbo bridal dress. And the shoot took more than 3 hours with 4 different outfits. 
After the shoot she was paid 100k which was very encouraging meaning she could now learn makeup and start immediately. 

(Remember to follow for idea development, safety tips as well as real life stories to motivate and guide you through some experiences @peesee_ on twitter )
Before she left the studio the photographer asked her to see him. He told her to enroll in a modeling class his photography studio runs so he could polish her on one or two things 
She felt it wasn't a bad idea so she told him she will think it over and feed him back. She got home very excited to show her parents that she got a job worth of 100k and that she could use that to start makeup. Only to get home and met her sibling crying. 
Dad was involved in a crash & was reportedly admitted, her mum needed money to deposit for operation to commence. She asked how much they needed & he said 200k and that mummy has 100k. She picked her phone and called mummy to know which hospital & she immediately left for the hospital.
So 100k was left🤦‍♀️.
She felt bad but she wasn't ready to loose her dad so she gave her mum the money after explaining where she got it from.
They paid for the operation and doctors moved into the theater for swiftly. Mummy was scared crying and praying while Teni sat there unhappy that this happened when she had money but her dad needed it. She was also happy she had the said amount to help her dad. 
While her dad was under going the operation teni slept off. Do you blame her? She had a long day. She woke up next morning and was told her dad didn't survive the operation.
She felt so weak that she almost fainted 
She lost her dad!
How was she going to cope, her mum wasn't doing anything. Her dad was the one working so he provided every single thing they needed at home. Her mum was admitted immediately as she fell when she got the news.
 Things became so hard for teni. 
They left the hospital after the third days and went home to mourn the death of their father. 
While mourning , their landlord come to embarrass them for not paying house rent, he kept saying I know you lost your husband but I need my money, I cant starve to death too. This lines hurt the family so much but they could go nothing.
They were cut up with no food, no job, no father, no money to pay house rent and get other utility bills.
Makeup dreams are dead.
She needs a job or they will starve to death. Her friends came around to visit and some came with something for the family which wont last them more than few days.

On the last day of mourning her Dad, Teni got a call to resume at one of the major photography studio in Lagos. One of the photographer she worked with who came around during the mourning period linked her up as a studio assistant. Her major work at the studio was to receive clients, document them, clean the studio and equipment.
She resumed with high spirit because that money is all her family has to depend on. She resumed early and prepared for the day as most clients were big shots as well and celebrities. Bookings were most time done via calls days before and part payment made.
Things went all well until after a year the photographer started showing interest in her. She was just 19years of age. He was a very handsome dedicated photographer who was well travelled and matured. Many ladies were after him but she didn't take time to notice anything fishy. He kept making advances, being very nice and ensuring she had money on her regularly. 
One days the closed from shooting early and other workers left, she was counting equipment returned when he tickled her, she was of cause very angry but he smiled and said I'm just playing with you. She let it slide and many more of this nature kept happening.
Teni began to like Femi (not his real name) Femi took her home, gave money to her family and assisted them when the need arises., took her on dates and the bond grew stronger.
Teni's mother at first wasn't in support of the relationship but when money got involved she kept quiet. Femi formally asked her out and she agreed to be his girlfriend. The bond and affection grew over time and teni now took up responsibilities like the studio was hers. 
This made her realize and notice funny behaviour in the studio. Some young ladies will come for shoot and Femi wont collect a dime from them claiming its his friends girlfriend, they are friends, one story or another. Days when they have night shoots she never stays. She will prepare what is needed and leave. 
Next morning she resumed and found condoms in the studio. There are two  guys in the studio working with Femi. When she raised the issue Femi said it must be one of the boys and that he will warn them. He acted very serious and angry and teni believed him.
He had this model training session he takes twice a week and he had over 7 models who comes around for the class and makeup sessions which eventually leads to shoots. This girls were to clingy to Femi and wanted attention from him any time they were around. 
Femi would apologies to Teni much after and it became a normal thing. 
On this faithful day during the regular model training session a mother and her child came in shouting and looking for Femi, Femi tried begging her to come inside his office so they settle the issue but the woman refused.
She was the mother of one of the models Femi was sleeping with. He has not only infected her with STDs but has aborted twice for Femi and is with child for him. She kept screaming you will marry her, the other young models were surprised and started speaking up that Femi is their boyfriend, he promised them links to big connect in in modeling and some in acting. So he was sleeping with all of them. The pregnant model said the day they had sex in the studio the condom broke. 
Femi kept insisting he didn't impregnate her. Models mum followed his answer with a slap. while they were on this another lady came in to see Femi for giving her daughter STDs and that her daughter has been complaining of stomach pain for one week they thought it was the regular pre menstruations cycle not until she fainted and was rushed to the hospital.
Femi got the beating of his life from different women as well as he was arrested. Teni had to leave much after when most of the makeup artists turned down jobs with them saying her boss was a pig. She got to know who Femi really was but was happy she insisted on no sex in the relationship.  Her mum got a job with one client who she met while in Femi's studio while Teni got admission with 80% scholarship to study a fashion related course abroad. 
Presently Teni is in her third year and called via Whatsapp to share this story.
Femi is now very sick, she later found out he wasn't the owner of the studio that the owner was abroad and contracted Femi to manage the place.
