The scene: my British colleague who lives in Nigeria is the son of a vicar and is well genned-up on the bible so he takes great pleasure in challenging and winding up the ultra-Christian Nigerians who quote garbage picked from the bible and come out with things like "The Natural History Museum is fake. Everybody knows the world was created in seven days!"
He is desperately waiting for the bill of lading (BL) for a sefreight container we have shipped to him so that he can submit this vital proof of title to the goods to the authorties there, before everybody closes for Christmas.
This kind of exchange on Blackberry Messenger makes business more fun:
Colleague: "RR, I beg help me chase up about FCL bill of lading.... I really need the scanned copy asap... I don't need this stress at Xmas!"
RR: "OK dude, just waiting for Eileen (shipping) to come in."
C: "Come on Eileeen, Come on Eileen...."
RR: "LOL!"
RR: "We should know where it is in the next hour"
RR: "BL for FCL is here!"
C: "Hallelujah, sweet Jesus we give abundant thanks for your blessings and your glorious miracles"
C: "I beg you scan and email me fast fast"
RR: "Wayne (Shipping Manager) says Yes Oga don't worry-o!"
RR: "No he doesn't! He's just spotted an error in the M form number, 1 digit is wrong! Freight agent is talking to shipping line"
C: "Arrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh"
C: "Wahala yin ti poju!"
RR: "Wot?"
C: "Your trouble is too much-o!"
RR: "At least Wayne spotted it now."
C: "True... it was too good to be true!"
C: "What does this mean for my shredded nerves, what kind of delay are we expecting?"
RR: "Wayne is in the bog"
RR: "Now I'm calling the freight agent"
C:
RR: "Replacement BL being sent over today from Liverpool by courier!"
C: "It is well in Jesus name"
RR: "You are clearly reverting to your religious childhood. Or is it the Christmas mood?"
C: "Amen, I have been saved!"
