“As a student, I’m ashamed to admit I made
some bad decisions like taking exams for people for a fee. I justified my wrong actions by telling myself my
parents were poor, I was brilliant and it seemed a good way to make money to
put myself through school. Majority of my customers were married women who
didn’t want the stress of endlessly studying for exams when they could buy
help. These women had money and I was willing to play so it was a good combination.
However, one day, they came to me with a bigger offer.
One of my major customers came to me with her
friend. Their proposal – to pay me a lot of money in exchange for my services
in helping her friend get pregnant. According to her, her friend was having
issues with getting pregnant and the fault was her husband’s weak sperm. She
explained that the husband was aware of their proposal though he wished to be excluded
from the real arrangements. She said she trusted me because of our long
relationship and my discretion. And she was confident that my twenty year old
body could do the job.
Nervous laughter was my first response to the
request. At first, I wondered if they were trying to test me but looking at
their faces convinced me they were very serious. My mouth was shaking when I
said I needed to think about it and before anyone judges, it was the first
thing I could think to say. It’s not like requests like this come around every
day.
Of course, there was a bit of mind debate for
me – the money was a lot, more than I ever imagined I could make at that time
and with it, I would not have to be exposed to the constant risk of taking
exams for people in order to support myself. But again, I wasn’t sure about having
a child I didn’t know and outside wedlock too. I might be helping people with
their exams but doing this seemed like taking my irresponsibility to another
level. I confided in my friend, a fellow hustler, and the guy shocked me by
indicating interest. After a couple of days, I gave them a negative answer and
quietly mentioned my friend. I know they
called him but I refused to ask about it and he didn’t say anything.

I thank God you have some sense and morality left to reject such an offer despite your circumstances. But you should have taken it further by not connecting your friend. If he did it, some blame is still yours you know
Very stupid boy!
anon 13:31 why is the boy stupid?
Anon 1.01. What kind of question is that? A boy who has been taking exams for dullards and cheats. Do you know how many fake and quack doctors, pharmacists, engineers etc that has been produced. Now he is running away from an additioonal evil act. He even recommended somebody. Oaf!
Not stupidity but bad judgement and misplaced priorities has led you to this pass. Pray that you do not have to go back to such life.
I agree its bad judgement as a result of very bad economy but its encouraging that you at least acknowledge that its bad. Your salvation is very near.
People think once they claim repentance, they will dodge the consequences of their evil acts. Noooooooo!! You must pay for it somehow so don't think cos you said no, you have been saved. Na lie! Even worse, you recommendeded a friend. I pity you. You must reap what you sow and only after that, will your slate be clean. So prepare yourself. maybe a quack doctor will treat you and kill or maim you in the process or a quack engineer will build your house which will collapse on your head. All of them will be recipients of your exam malpratice acts. I say prepare yourself
Anon 2:19, that is mean but realistic and well stated advice/statement. But i ask where is the mercy and grace of God in all that, that is if you believe in God.
If you're a Christian, you have to operate under the premise that we shall all account for what we do, good or bad for nothing unclean shall .... As far as am concerned, this boy is not serious. He felt it was bad to do it but its ok to direct someone else? He also thinks adultery is bad but helping people cheat thereby doing unquantifiable damage is good? What nonsense attitude is that? Nothing moral about his decisions pls. In fact, better to sleep with that woman than help throw cheats into the system thereby exposing us all to danger. At least with that woman, he's damaging only himself and her I think
Adultery does not damage only two people, even fornication doee not you need to get your ethics and christian morals right. Any way what our boy has done here is wrong and utterly indefensible, so also the women egging him on. The question is - what to do to stop other guys like him out there doing worse?
Its easy to judge someone u know? We heep insults, predict calamities yet we too hv iroko trees in our eyes.hv u ever cheated or spied in exam? U 2 r guilty!hv u fornicated?guilty! Did u dub ur project work?guilty o!!!of d same sin as dis young man. Beware d stones u cast. Dt is not 2 say I support ur actions young man.u realize u r wrong, make ammends here on out. Sin no more!
