once upon a time in a small Dusty town there lived a man named Chuka Chuka was just like every other man in the town he woke up early each morning tied a worn out wrapper around his waist and walked Barefoot to the construction site there he worked as a brick layer lifting heavy blocks with arms as strong as a farmer's hole his palms were hard like tree bark and his back carried the weight of his struggles life wasn't kind to Chuka each penny he earned felt like pulling water from a dry well but Chuka didn't
complain he worked hard knowing that the sweat on his forehead was his only wealth Chuka had two close friends kunle and EMA kunle was a carpenter always hammering away at broken chairs and EMA sold roasted maze by the roadside the three of them were as close as brothers in the evenings after a long day of work they would gather under the Big Mango Tree near the Market Square kunle would bring stories a Maka would crack jokes and Chuka would sit quietly listening with a small smile one day my people we will all be rich kley
would say waving his hands like a preacher we will eat meat every day where find clothes and drive big cars amen oh EMA would shout his laughter loud enough to wake the birds in the trees but Chuka never said much his dreams were big but his pockets were small one faithful evening Chuka did something he had never done before he bought a lottery ticket with the little money he had left in his pocket the ticket was small and colorful with numbers printed in B letters Chuka didn't think much about it to him it was just
a piece of paper what if you win Chuka koule asked grining Chuka laughed shaking his head win my friend that's for people with luck not someone like me kunle and EMA laughed too and the three of them continued talking about their dreams never knowing that something unbelievable was about to happen and so Chuka kept the lottery tickets tucked away in his pocket not knowing that fate like a hidden drum was about to start playing a song that would change his life forever the following day the sun rose like any other day casting its warm glow
over the small town Chuka was at the construction site stacking bricks and wiping sweat from his face when a loud voice boomed from across the road Chuka Chuka it was kunle running towards him waving a piece of paper in the air EMA followed close behind shouting too Chuka You've Won you've won the lottery kunle screamed his face beaming like the morning sun Chuka froze dropping the Block in his hands what did you say he asked his voice trembling You've Won billions Chuka billions in Mecca shouted throwing his arms around him for a moment Chuka Stood
Still his heart pounding like the drums during a festival are you sure he whispered almost afraid to believe it Kun handed him the paper look at your numbers they match Chuka you are a rich man the news spread through the town faster than hamatan Wind by evening chuka's small house was surrounded by people men women and even children gathered singing songs of Celebration drums were beaten and some people danced Barefoot on the dusty ground cha the billionaire they chanted our own savior Chuka couldn't believe it the man who once struggled to buy bread now had
more money than the whole town put together the next day chuka's transform began he moved out of his small leaky house and built a mansion with golden gates that sparkled in the sunlight expensive cars filled his compound their engines puring like lions Chuka wore designer clothes the kind that made heads turn and his shoes shown so brightly they could blind the eyes the same hands that used to carry Bricks now held of cash Chuka became the center of attention with people lining up just to catch a glimpse of him he was no longer the quiet
brick layer he was now Chuka the rich man not long after Chuka became the richest man in town the sweet scent of money began to change him the humble brick layer who once laughed under the mango tree with kunle and EMA was now a different man entirely Chuka no longer visited the mango tree instead he sat in his big house surrounded by people who praised him day and night Chuka the billionaire they called him the king of our town but these new friends weren't like kunle and EMA they didn't care about Chuka they only cared
about his money whenever Chuka threw his Grand parties they would cheer loudly dancing and drinking until morning but their smiles were as fake as their praises one afternoon kunle and EMA decided to visit Chuka they knocked on his Golden Gate and a security guard opened it looking at them like they didn't belong we want to see Chuka kunley said smiling do you have an appointment the god asked frowning appointment EMA replied shocked we are his friends just tell him kunle and EMA are here the guard let them in after much argument but when they got
to Chuka his reaction crushed them what do you want Chuka asked leaning back on a luxurious chair puffing on a cigar Ki cleared his throat Chuka my brother we need a little help to start a small business just something to help us move forward Chuka laughed loud and long help you people want me to give you my money go and walk like I did or do you think money grows on trees kand and Mecca left quietly their hearts heavy with hot the man they had once called their brother had turned into a stranger chuka's Pride
didn't stop there his poor parents who had raised him with love and sacrifice were now left to struggle alone his mother would walk Barefoot to the market sell selling vegetables to survive while Chuka drove past in his shiny cars pretending not to see her whenever Chuka passed poor people in town he would roll down his car window and mock them why are you still suffering can't you make something of your lives he would shout laughing as his car sped off the people in the town began to whisper is this the same Cher who once begged
for food he has forgot Forten where he came from but Chuka didn't care he kept throwing money in the air at parties surrounding himself with fake friends who cheered him on his pride was like a balloon growing bigger and bigger but everyone knew that one day it would burst chuka's life of Reckless spending continued like a river flowing endlessly he became the Talk of the Town not just for his wealth but for the way he threw it around like dry leaves in the hamatan wind every weekend he was at the fanciest night clubs buying drinks
for strangers and dancing until the Stars disappeared one night in the middle of a loud glittering party chuka's eyes caught someone who made his heart skip a beat her name was ashabi she was as beautiful as the first rain after a long dry season with a smile that could melt the hardest heart as shabi moved with Grace her laughter ringing like bells in chuka's ears who is she Chuka whispered to one of his friends unable to take his eyes off her that's asabi the friend replied grinning she's the hottest girl in town but be careful
she's not easy to catch Chuka however was determined that night he approached her with confidence hello beautiful he said his voice smooth like palm oil I'm am Chuka as shabi smiled tilting her head I know who you are she replied you're the billionaire everyone is talking about from that moment Chuka was smitten he showered as shabi with gifts gold necklaces designer bags and even a brand new car he promised her the world and more marry me as shabi Chuka said one evening kneeling before her with a diamond ring that sparkled like the sun I'll give
you the biggest wedding this town has ever seen as shabi smiled sweetly placing her hand on his cheek of course my love but if we are going to share a life together shouldn't we also share everything let's transfer your properties and accounts to both our names so that we can build our future together Chuka blinded by love and Trust didn't hesitate anything for you he said signing every document as shabi placed before him to him asabi was the perfect partner the missing piece to his new luxurious life little did Chuka know as shab's heart wasn't
filled with love it was filled with plans plans that would soon turn chuka's golden world into a pile of Ashes while Chuka dream dreed of a grand wedding as shabi was plotting something far more dangerous one day as The Big Wedding Day Drew near it was a bright morning and the birds outside chuka's Mansion were chirping happily Chuka stretched on his large soft bed smiling to himself in just a few days he would be married to a shabi the woman who had captured his heart life he thought could not get any better but as he
reached for his phone to call as shabi something strange happened her number wasn't going through Chuka frowned wondering where she might be he decided to check her room but when he opened the door it was empty the Wardrobe was Bare her belongings gone Panic crept into chuka's chest as shabi he called running through the house asabi where are you there was no answer Chuka picked up his phone again but before he could dial a series of messages popped up One By One debit alerts from his bank arrived his accounts were empty billions and billions gone
in the blink of an eye his heart pounded like a drum what is happening he whispered his hands trembling before he could process it loud knocks came from the golden gates men in suits stood outside holding documents we are here to take possession of this property one of them said firmly what property Chuka asked confused this house and the cars the man replied holding up papers everything now belongs to us Chuka snatched the documents his eyes scanning the signatures at the bottom his stomach dropped his own name and as shab name stared back at him
she had tricked him into signing away everything and now she had disappeared like smoke in the wind wait please let me explain Chuka begged but the men didn't care they had bought the house legally by evening Chuka was standing outside the Mansion watching as strangers drove away in his cars with nowhere else to turn Chuka swallowed his pride and went to kley and EMA they were sitting under the old mango tree just as they used to kle Ema I need your help Chuka said his voice low his head bold kunle looked up his face hard
help Chuka when we needed you what did you say to us go and work like I did a maker added mimicking chuka's voice tears welled up in chuka's eyes please I'm sorry I didn't know this would happen KLA shook his head life has a way of humbling people Chuka go and find your own way just like you told us Chuka left quietly his heart heavy with shame as he walked back to the small rundown house he once called home the town's people whispered behind him look at him now they said the same Cher who mocked
us Pride true comes before a fall that night Chuka sat outside his old house staring at the stars the same hands that once held billions now held nothing but regret the proud man had fallen and there was no one to catch him Chuka sat on a broken stool outside his old crumbling house staring at the cracked walls that seemed to mock him the Mansion the golden gates the shiny cars they were all gone his hands once soft from wealth were rough again like the hands of the brick layer he used to be as he walked
through the town carrying his tools the people whispered behind him is that not Chuka the billionaire one woman said shaking her head see how he has fallen he thought money would last forever another man added laughing now he's back to where he started Chuka didn't respond he kept his head low focusing on his work each brick he lifted reminded him of the pride that had once weighed him down now his heart was lighter humbled by the lessons life had taught him the mango tree where kunle and EMA used to sit became his new place of
reflection he didn't join them but he could hear their laughter from afar the sound stung but it also reminded him of the friendships he had thrown away slowly Chuka began rebuilding his life not with grand Mansions or expensive cars but with honesty and humility he worked hard every day stacking bricks under the hot sun he no longer cared about showing off or mocking others instead he greeted everyone with kindness even those who once mocked him in return the town watched as Chuka transformed his fall became a story that mothers told their children at night a
reminder that wealth without wisdom is like rain without crops it washes everything away as Chuka worked quietly he whispered to himself I had it all and lost it because of my pride but this time I will build something that even the wind cannot blow away and so Chuka story became a lesson for the town it taught them that money is not the true measure of a person's worth and pride is the quickest way to lose everything Chuka never became Rich again but he found something even greater peace now our dear viewers who's to be blamed
