He has been buying stolen products from
Thieves for long hiding under the guise that he
Is a business person. When people ask him he will
Say “it is business, it is business” and to make it in
Life one needs to be buying things like that for it is something
Like that, that could bring about maximum profit. Those who do
Do not like such would tell him that it is not good, for he is also
Aiding and abetting thieves and anyone who aids and abets thieves
The person is also a thief. But he will insist that he is neither a thief
Nor aiding and abetting any thief. He is simply a professional business
Person he will say. When they discovered he is not yielding to what they
Are saying, they leave him alone. One day, his wife visited him at his
Workshop, few minutes after she gets to his store, those who used to sell
Stolen products arrived to sell some things to him. After they had reached
Agreement, they handed the goods to him while he gives them the money.
After those people’s departure, his wife asked him why those people brought
Such goods to him, for he ought to have gone to their store to go and buy what
He wants from them. His reply was that different stores now have “marketers”
Unlike in the time past, there is competition among those people now unlike
Before when there is monopoly of everything. Those people he told her are
Marketers of their companies and have brought those products to him to buy from
Them because they know he used to buy such products. His reply to his wife
Was not satisfactory and she told him that what of if those people are thieves,
For she used to hear of how some companies are lamenting about how their
Deborah Cox- Play Your Part
Products are missing. He was not expecting this from his wife, thence he told
Her that what he knows is that they are marketers and that is how they used to
Bring things to him to buy at a cheaper price so that he will make maximum gain
From thereby. Then the wife says, there he goes, selling things at a cheaper
Rate than the companies price, that don’t he feel something is wrong? He silenced
His wife, that she should not interfere in his business and should leave him alone.
I am saying this now, because I do not want any evil to betide you, because
If those people are caught they will name him as the one they used to sell stolen
Properties to, and he should know what would follow. She told him to becareful
And should not have dealings with them again. He promised to take her words
Into consideration but he never did. Months after this, those people were arrested
By the law enforcement agencies and after torturing they named him as the person
They used to sell stolen products to. He was arrested and his wife was located
Because they thought she may equally be a part of what her husband has been doing
But the wife denied being a part and would produce the recorded conversation
Between him and her of where she has told him to stop having dealings with those
People. When the law agencies heard the recorded conversation they freed the woman
While the man faces the full wrath of the law alone….
