<p>The first ₦50,000 I made online changed everything.</p><p>At first, it was just a Telegram group my friend added me to. People posted screenshots of huge payments, expensive phones and new clothes. They called it “plugging.” I never understood what they were doing, but I wanted in.</p><p>One night, an admin sent me a private message.</p><p>“Easy job. No experience. ₦300,000 when you're done.”</p><p>I didn't ask questions.</p><p>All I had to do was collect a package from a hotel and deliver it somewhere else. The money entered my account immediately.</p><p>After that, the jobs became bigger.</p><p>Then one Friday, I received ₦2 million.</p><p>I stared at my balance for almost ten minutes.</p><p>That was when I realised something was wrong.</p><p>I tried withdrawing the money, but my account was suddenly frozen.</p><p>Then an unknown number called.</p><p>“Check your email.”</p><p>I did.</p><p>There was one message.</p><p>SUBJECT: WE KNOW WHAT YOU DID.</p><p>Attached was a photograph of me collecting the first package.</p><p>I panicked and deleted everything—the Telegram chats, the number, even the photographs.</p><p>The next morning, there was a knock at our door.</p><p>I opened it.</p><p>Nobody was there.</p><p>Only a small brown envelope lay on the floor.</p><p>Inside was my phone.</p><p>The screen was already unlocked.</p><p>A message appeared:</p><p>“You wanted money. Now tell us how much your freedom is worth.”</p>
