It was a bright Saturday night in Abuja. It was Zara’s birthday dinner. Ola sat with her friends at a long table, pretending to be so relaxed. She wore a shiny, beautiful dress she had borrowed from her colleague. She did a very beautiful hair with a beautiful makeup. She looked so rich. That was the point. They were all talking loudly.

showing off their phones, their trip, the bags they bought. Dala forced herself to keep on laughing and smiling. Each time anyone brings up their own, she just wanted to fit in. She wanted to look like she belonged there. Then it happened. Her phone mistakenly slipped from her hand and hit the towel floor. The scream lit up and a message flashed on it. seem not registered.

At first, no one noticed, but then Zara turned ahead. Wait, Bella, did I just seem not registered on your screen? Everyone turned and started looking at the both of them. I thought you said you were using an iPhone 15 Pro. Yeah, yeah, yes. It’s just that maybe his network, you know, all these things now.

Ola began to laugh, but Zara didn’t find it funny. She didn’t even bother to question her anymore. Immediately, one of the waiter arrived with drinks. Ta collected the drink by force even though she doesn’t want to drink and started sipping, smiling, and pretending. But Ta knew that she already embarrassed herself in front of those people she want to impress.

Tala was just 26 years old. She worked as a receptionist at a small travel agency in Abuja. Her salary was just 70,000 naira a month. It was just enough to pay her rent that she used to rent one room apartment and also take care of her brother, her younger brother, Damian. But Tala had a big problem. She hated how small her life looked.

Every day at work, Paula would see different girls of her age coming with expensive bag booking their trips to Dubai, UK. And anytime you look at those girls, they are not poor. They are always on point. Expensive hair, long nails, and heavy makeup. And Ta began to imagine herself, why can’t I be like this people? I am only attending to them.

Why can’t I be like them? Eh, they swear for me swear poverty. One day after she came back from work, she sat down to relax. She was sitting down and was scrolling through Instagram. That was how Tala saw her old schoolmates. They now looking rich and happy. The one that paid Tala the most was a girl in school that she used to dash money.

She used to give her her lunch was now posing inside an expensive car showing off her iPhone 15. Paula could not believe her eyes now. Wow. Is this how people’s life change? Why? Why am I still living in this kind of poverty streaking life from that day decided that she will never look like a poor person anymore? She would dress nice and look rich so that she will attract rich people.

The next day after she closed from work, she went to Wii market and bought secondhand designer bags and she learned how to pose for pictures near others beautiful cars. She opened an Instagram account, Facebook account, and other social media accounts where she would be posting all those pictures. where she will be lying.

This is my father’s car. This is my father’s house. But Tala’s father died years ago. Her mother sold food by the roadside in Oshun before she passed too. It was only Tala and her brother that had only each other. They were the only surviving children to their parents. Then her younger brother Dami started noticing the changes.

One morning as Cola was busy getting ready for work, she wore very expensive clothes and perfume. Dami was confused. Sister, why are you wearing this kind of clothes to work? Is it not work you are going? I you are going for party. People now think that you are rich and you park one car somewhere waiting for you. Paula smiled. That was what she wanted.

At least someone noticed me. That’s the idea, my dear. I want them to think I am rich so that I can belong. H sister, that’s not life. Oh, you better learn how to be contented. Must you belong? This is how you are going to chase away our destiny helper. You better stop with all these things.

Dress your normal way and go to work. a but warned him not to talk to her anyhow. With time, Tala’s lie grew faster. She started lying to her colleagues that her father was a businessman in Ghana and her brother was schooling abroad that she’s only working at the travel agency just because she wants to get the experience and also her father is trying to come back and open one.

So she needed to gather all the experience that she needed. The colleague believed her. Why would you believe her? Bella looked the part. She has always been a very quiet young girl and she never talks too much. But ever since she started faking her lifestyle, started talking even when asked and when not asked. But one person in that office knew that Ta was lying. It was her friend Bisah.

Bisellah and Tola worked in the same company. In fact, it was Bisah that gave her the slot in which she used to get the job. Ta would borrow Bisah’s wig for 5,000 NRA because Bisellah never gives her anything for free. She would go to the market and buy fake perfumes and secondhand clothes that look so beautiful so that she’ll be given the big girl luxury life vibe.

Bisella was not happy but she ignored her. She has her own problems to face and Paula will not be the one that will make her to be talking too much. She just ignored her to be doing her thing but warned her not to let that thing cost her job cuz if he does she will never give her one dying with the way Tala was pretending and faking her lifestyle.

That was how she met Zara. Zara came to their company to book an expensive trip to Paris. The both of them exchanged number and since then Zara has been viewing Tala’s WhatsApp status her Instagram page and thought that two of them are on the same page. They are from rich families. So Zara befriend her. Then it was her birthday and Zara invited her over.

She sent Tala a message one evening and told her my birthday is this weekend and we are all wearing red. You must come. Tala’s heart jumped. Ah her chance to shine to prove that she belonged. She went to the market and bought all the things she needed. But the red dress she wanted to get from the market was way above her budget.

Then she went to Bisa again to go and borrow. Bisara borrowed her the red dress and immediately tala cited that Bisah was using iPhone 15 Pro. She decided to also borrow it. Bisa refused at first but found her way around it and Bisellah agreed to give her the phone for only 6 hours and she’s going to return the phone that same night.

That was how Ta arrived at the party with the iPhone 15 Pro that is not even her own. But after the phone fell down and Zara saw seem not registered, Da knew that everything have cast. Zara being a good friend did not embarrass her. But Zara’s friends were not the type of people to say no to. They started tormenting Zara on that seat. One said these Abuja girls e always forming what they are not.

Don’t mind her. She went and borrow someone’s phone. I hope she did not steal it though. Everybody look around though. Make sure you have your phones intact because it’s as if we have a thief in here. Everything about her is screaming poverty. Poverty. They mocked Tala. And Paula did not know how she walked out of that party.

With all the shame in this world on her face, she was just crying. That was corrodite tears. She caused it. After that embarrassing dinner, Chola decided to lay low. She stopped going out for a while. She even took a sick leave from work and he gave her only 3 days. She avoided Bisola, ignored her calls and finally she decided to delete some pictures online.

After the 3 days they gave her elapse returned to work and Bisah was so angry at her. What sort of rubbish is that? I asked you to return my phone after 6 hours and it’s been 4 days. Why would you do that? Remember that agreement is an agreement. I warned you about this fake life, but you refused to listen to me.

So, please don’t include me in your mess next time. Can I have my phone back? Apologized to Bisah and gave her her phone back. Intact, nothing was wrong with it. Bisah then asked her if the party went well. This one she disappeared for 4 days, but Tala was not ready to tell her anything. Misella already know that it did not go well. That was why she disappeared.

but decided to mind her own business. That afternoon, a young man walked inside the agency. He came to come and book a flight to Dubai. But when this young man entered, he couldn’t stop staring at Tala. He then introduced himself. I’m Kelvin and you are? I’m Talas, sir. Welcome. It was Ta that attended to Kelvin and Kelvin couldn’t stop staring.

After Kelvin collected her number and promised to call. 2 days later Kelvin called and Doa was not actually expecting the call though. That was how the two of them started talking. Immediately Kelvin told her the kind of family he came from. Do became intimidated immediately. When Kelvin asked her about her father, Ta lied. My father imports cars from Ghana and my mom runs a spa in London.

Calvin was really surprised and also very happy that Ta turns out to be a girl from a rich family too. The two of them fixed a dinner date and Ta agreed. Ta still went to that dinner date with a borrowed dress from Bisah. At that dinner date, Kelvin was so happy to see Tala looking so beautiful. You look breathtaking.

Kelvin complimented her. Thank you. And you also look handsome. The two of them sat down and they started talking. Kelvin was really impressed. Wow, Ta, you are very different. You’re not like other girls. So eh the confidence, the way you carry yourself. Well, I think I just found my better half.

Was just smiling all throughout. But God knows that the smile do not reach her heart because she knows that lying is a very bad thing. But when she’s doing it, Ta can’t even explain. Within few months, Kelvin and Tala became a thing, sending her gifts often and on sending her money without even being asked.

But Bisellah was the only person that was not happy about what was going on. One day after Kelvin brought her lunch at work, Bisah pulled her by the side. Girl, when this man find out the real you, you know that it will not be funny. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do I mean? You know what I’m telling you? You know the truth will always come out and it is not funny.

You keep telling everyone your parents is rich, your father is in this one, your mother is in that one. You’re using my things to be bloating around. I’m not a bad friend. If I were air, I would have exposed you in this company. That is number one. But girl, stop. At first, I thought you were doing this thing for the fun of it. You are going too far.

Entering a relationship with lie would not always end well. And look at this man. This man genuinely loves you. And you can say that he came from a very wealthy home. You don’t need to lie to blend in. I know that the rich go for the rich. If he does not work, girl, move on with your life. You You don’t need to keep lying your way into his heart. He’s already invested in you.

He loves you so much. I can see it in his eyes. I’m not telling you that I’ll go at your back and go and do something bad. No, I am telling you to tell him the truth now before it is too late. Dollar, I will tell him now. See, I’m enjoying it. Whether it lasts or not, I don’t care.

But you’re already falling in love. See the way you are smiling like a fool. If you were me, wouldn’t you fall in love, too? That guy is spo silly. Do you know how much he has given me in just how many months of meeting him? My salary in the next 3 years this guy have given it to me. Expensive clothes, jewelries, girl. Ha.

See, I cannot stop this lie. I need to enjoy it to the fool. Bisellah then told her to suit herself and walked out. It was as if Bisah is a prophet because that evening Bola received a message from Kelvin. I want to visit your home. I want to see your parents and also see where my queen grew up. Ola smiled disappeared.

Ah this one but she replied immediately. My parent travel a lot. They hardly around. Kelvin laughed. It’s fine. Chi, if I get to your house, we can meet the gates man. Abby, we will stay inside and just for a while before I go home. I’ll be free this Sunday. Let’s go to your house. Please, I want to say hello. Please.

Ta panicked. She doesn’t know what to do. Then she kept on calling few of her friends to see if anyone could help her. But help came from nowhere. And that one request that Kelvin asked, she couldn’t sleep at night. Even her brother noticed. Sister, what’s wrong with you? So, I met this guy. He’s very rich.

Oh, the one that has been sponsoring our expensive lifestyle in this house. I can see that we now eat with two meat instead of egg all the time. Stop it, Dami. I’m serious. Okay, go ahead. So he said he want to visit my house and I lied that we live in Guarimpa and our parents are outside the country. Hola, why would you tell him that kind of lie? Hey, I’m not regretting it.

Oh, Dami, I I don’t even know. I just wanted to look like I belong. Oh god, I’m regretting it now. Anyways, lies are very sweet when you start, but later your eyes will be red. You better tell him the truth before it is too late. But Ta refused to tell Kelvin the truth. The next day at work, she went straight to Bisah.

Babe, I’m sorry, but anything I’ve done to you in this world, forgive me. I need your help. What is it this time around? Um I um I beg I know you told me that your auntie is traveling to village this weekend. Can I can I borrow her house? Like use it and tell Kelvin that this is where I live. Please had a very long laugh.

What did you just say to you? You’re very crazy this girl. So you can go to this length just to lie to a man now. Wow. Please. No pisah, please, please. I’m begging you. I will pay you. Just make it happen. It’s just for few hours and he’s gone. Please decided to help her. She doesn’t even know why she keep on helping Ta with her stupidity.

After the auntie left for the village, Misa then invited Ta to the house. The two of them did a little bit clean up and hide some few things that would made Kelvin suspicious. That Sunday after they are done, Misah left and told her that if by 6 hours that they are not done, she will come in here and embarrass her.

After Bisah left, Kelvin arrived. Wow, this place is so beautiful. Is this your home? Yes. Yes. Welcome. I told you my parents traveled. Yeah, I can see you’re so lucky, my love. They sat there, played game, had a lots of talking, smiling, kissing. They had dinner. Everything went smoothly. Not until Kelvin noticed something.

They did not hide the family photo. Very well. And Kelvin noticed it. Then he brought it out. Who are these people? Kelvin asked Ola. And this picture was taken in this sitting room which shows that these people stays in this house. Um yeah these are my uncle my uncle and my auntie they also stays here most times. So yeah that’s it.

They they they used to stay here. They also outside the country too. Delvin suspected something but didn’t really say it out loud. He just dismissed everything they were doing and told Tola that he had an emergency and he needs to leave. After Kelvin left, he stopped calling as he used to. He stopped sending gifts and stopped visiting Tola at her workplace as he used to.

Tola knew that something was wrong. She kept on trying his number, but Kelvin refused to pick up. 3 weeks passed and Paula received Kelvin’s call. She picked up and Kelvin apologized for walking out on her and not calling her for 3 weeks. He told her that he traveled out. It was an emergency.

Paula do not have any reason to be angry or even argue. She just agreed and the two of them moved on like nothing happened. Then Kelvin told her that he has a great news and that his company is planning a charity visit to some orphanage around Abuja and he would want her to come with him. Orphanage Paula asked Kelvin.

Yes, some some few orphanage. Yes, we are doing some charity stuff. We go there, gift them rice, beans, you know that kind of a thing. But okay, okay. Yeah, I I would love to. I would love to. Yes. But Ta knew that we ruin everything for her. Her relative, her mother’s auntie, worked in one of the orphanages and she also grew up in Ku, she knows a lot of people there.

And if she ever step foot there, everything will cast. She tried to give Kelvin all the excuses in this world that will make her not to go to those orphanages. But Kelvin insisted that he wants to go with her. After Tala dropped the call, her brother asked her what the problem was and why she sounded so down and why is she visiting their area where they grew up.

Tala told her brother everything that just happened. Her brother started to laugh. A wo my sister. My sister, the biggest liar in this world. So this your lie I’ve reached heaven just now. I’ve told you severally to tell this guy the truth but you refuse. Still you want to be embarrassed before you stop. See stop now.

If you follow this guy and go that our area your own don’t finish you. They will recognize you so quickly. Especially that our auntie that her mouth is running like parrot that one. She will disgrace you to the end. You better stop. Don’t follow him. Oh. Why would I not? when he said he’s going to send me 500,000 to go for shopping.

You know, I cannot say no to that kind of money. So after sending me that kind of money, I will not follow him. I’ll follow him. Anything that wants to happen, let it happen. I’ll be on N’s mask. Nobody recognize me. Dami warned her not to do that, but Taha insisted on doing it. Bisah warned her not to do it, but Ta insisted on doing it.

The day of the event arrived and Kelvin came and picked her up. They visited different orphanages giving out funds and money and gifts. Ta was very supportive, laughing and doing things that was far beyond what Kelvin even expected her to do. helping out to bring out the pattern of indomies, noodles, spaghetti, a lot of things that was doing and Kelvin was really impressed.

Not until cited reporters, babe, what are reporters doing here? Uh-uh. It’s a charity organization and they supposed to be here. They even came late. They supposed to follow us from the first orphanage that we went to, but they came late. But regardless, we’re good. When they now got to the area where Tala was leaving, her auntie was the one that welcomed them inside.

At first, she did not recognize Tala because Tala was busy hiding her face. But when it was time for them to bring out everything in the car and give to the orphanage, it was when her auntie recognized her and shouted, “Oh, what are you doing here? And where is your brother Danny?” Ola was forced to face her auntie.

Auntie, good evening. I am I’m working with them for the charity organization. E finally God blessed you now. Wow. What work in mysterious ways? So you don’t walk with people like this. This is good. At least your parents will be so proud of you. From their grave. Calvin could not believe what he just heard.

From their grave. Paula, what is she talking about? Oh, you don’t even know who you employed. Anyways, let me tell you. Her mother and me, we are siblings. I am her elder sister. So, but unfortunately life happened. She died. Her father too also died. She’s an orphan. I was the one that trained her and her brother before they now decided to leave this place and move to where she got a better job according to her.

Kelvin was really shocked. He didn’t even bother to say anything. He dragged Stala out from there and then went beside the car and started questioning her. What is that woman talking about? Your parents are dead, but you told me they are abroad. If you grow up in this kind of slum, how then can you be able to afford that kind of house that you showed me? I’m sorry, Kelvin.

Everything was a lie. I think it’s best I tell you the truth now. Now that you finally found out everything was a lie. I was trying to belong. You told me your father owns this, your mother owns this, and you guys have properties all over the world. I felt intimidated. I decided to lie too. I am sorry I lied. But sometimes you guys like to mount pressure on someone. You’re very crazy.

Who is mounting pressure on you? First of all, two of us are not from the same class. You should know that. And you don’t need to lie. Even if you told me your true self from the on front, I don’t care. I’ve dated a girl that I brought up from the streets. dusted her up and she still messed up.

I pushed her by the side, but I never collected anything I gave her. She’s living comfortably where she is right now. Wherever she is, I don’t care. But when I met you, even if you told me that you were an orphan and all that, I don’t care. Come on. This kind of lie is not good. Why would you lie to me? The relationship was based on lie and you went as far as going to rent someone’s house just to impress me.

You must be very silly. You should let be contented with what you have. Gosh, I’m so disappointed at you. Angrily walked out on her. He instructed one of the drivers to drop her off and that was the last time to heard from Kelvin. Unfortunately for Tala, everything that happened was captured by the reporters and it was made public that Kelvin’s girlfriend lied about her identity just to fit in.

It went viral. Ta was so embarrassed seeing her pictures and videos flying all over social media. She had to hide herself out of shame. She was immediately given a sack letter from where she works. In all of that, still sympathized with her and told her that she warned her. It’s as if she did not tell her the truth.

It will be as if she’s lying. But I told you, I warned you. But you never listen. Now see, thank God you’ve learned your lesson the hard way. Now you are not a public figure. The good thing about social media is that this will trend and it will stop. But for now that you are trending, I think you should lay low. The company have already sacked you.

So with the money that Kelvin have been giving you, use it and start up a business. If I were you, regretted her actions and decided to be useful to herself. First of all, she made a public video apologizing to Kelvin and she moved on with her life. Kelvin cut her off completely. He never went back to her regardless of anything.

Even the apology he accepted, but he never went back to her. He ended their relationship and that was it. Regardless of anything, be proud of your small beginning. I know this world is full of people who may intimidate you or make you feel less of yourself. Regardless, be contented with what you have.

The Cost of Pretending: How a Fake Lifestyle and Web of Lies Cost a Young Woman Everything

Article:

In the vibrant, fast-paced city of Abuja, life often moves at a blinding speed, fueled by social media status, designer labels, and the relentless pressure to look wealthy. For Tola, a 26-year-old receptionist at a small travel agency earning a modest 70,000 naira a month, this culture was a daily torture. Every day, she watched well-to-do customers book luxurious trips to Dubai and London, flashing expensive wigs, long acrylic nails, and designer handbags. Living in a cramped one-room apartment and struggling to support her younger brother, Dami, Tola grew deeply resentful of her small, unglamorous life. She hated the feeling of being invisible and vowed that she would never look like a poor person again.

The descent into deception started innocently enough with curated social media posts. Tola began buying secondhand designer bags from Wuse market and posing near luxury cars, crafting a fictitious narrative online that she belonged to elite wealth. Soon, her lies spilled over into her real life. At the travel agency, she fabricated stories about her background, claiming her father was a wealthy businessman in Ghana and her mother managed a high-end spa in London, while she was merely working at the agency for experience. While her colleague and friend, Bisola, frequently warned her about the dangers of a fake life—often renting out her own wigs and clothes to Tola for a fee—Tola was too intoxicated by the illusion to listen.

Her house of cards began to wobble when she befriended Zara, a wealthy client who invited Tola to an exclusive high-society birthday dinner. Desperate to look the part, Tola borrowed a gorgeous red dress and an iPhone 15 Pro from Bisola, promising to return them within hours. But during the dinner, as Tola handled her phone, it slipped and crashed onto the floor. When the screen lit up, a glaring notification flashed: “SIM not registered.” Zara and her sharp-tongued friends immediately picked up on the discrepancy, exposing her in front of the entire table. Mocked as a poverty-stricken fraud who sneaked into elite circles, Tola fled the restaurant in tears, crushed by public humiliation.

Instead of learning her lesson, Tola doubled down when a new target crossed her path. Kelvin, a handsome and wealthy young man who came into the agency to book a trip, became instantly captivated by her. Driven by a toxic mix of fear and greed, Tola spun the same web of lies about her wealthy background. Kelvin fell hard, showering her with expensive gifts, cash, and luxury dates. Bisola begged her to tell him the truth, pointing out that Kelvin genuinely cared for her and that love built on deceit was bound to crumble. But Tola was blind, hooked on the financial rewards and the intoxicating high of being treated like a queen.

The inevitable catastrophe struck when Kelvin insisted on visiting her family home. Trapped by her own fabrication of living in an upscale neighborhood, Tola begged Bisola to let her borrow her aunt’s empty house for a few hours. Bisola reluctantly agreed, but the deception could only stretch so far. Shortly after, Kelvin announced a grand company charity event spanning various orphanages around Abuja, with the final stop being the very slum neighborhood in Kuje where Tola and Dami actually grew up.

Panic set in, but the allure of Kelvin’s promised shopping sprees kept Tola moving forward. On the day of the charity tour, accompanied by television reporters documenting the event, Kelvin and Tola arrived at the local orphanage. There, waiting to welcome them, was Tola’s own estranged aunt, who managed the facility. Not recognizing Tola at first beneath her disguise, the aunt warmly greeted her before realizing who she was, casually announcing to Kelvin and the press that Tola was an orphaned local girl whom she had raised after her parents passed away in poverty.

The exposure was absolute and televised. Kelvin, staring at her in disbelief, realized he had been played by an elaborate scam. He walked out on her immediately, leaving her stranded at the scene. Within days, the video clip of the exposure went viral across social media, turning Tola into a national laughingstock and leading to her immediate termination from the travel agency.

Stripped of her job, her dignity, and her wealthy facade, Tola finally hit rock bottom. Bisola, despite her tough love, offered her a shoulder to cry on and urged her to channel the energy into honest survival. Tola recorded a public apology to Kelvin and finally began the painful process of shedding her fake identity. Her story remains a cautionary tale about the perils of social media pressure and the heavy cost of living a lie, proving that while pretending to be rich might buy you a temporary applause, it ultimately leaves you entirely bankrupt when the truth finally takes the stage.
