THE CIRCLE (Episode 3- BACK HOME)


Sunday

I sleep till 9am. I'm exhausted from yesterday.

12pm
I pack my stuff and go into school.

My phone rings. Its Ijay, my nursing boo. "Young lady, are you back?"

I'm on my way into school.

Will you go for ASF by 3?

Sure. I didn't go to church.

Are you in your room? I'm hungry.

Yes ma. My sister brought rice and chicken.

Chicken?? Yupee!! I'm on my way. Keep my share o.

Yes ma.

I pass through Marierie to collect my change from the dry canteen.
From a distance, I sight Eguh Chioma fetching water from Adelabu well.
She calls me before I call her.

"Jor Jor, shey you didn't go to church on a Sunday?" I will tell your brother. You have joined bad gang.

"Hahaha. Did you go?"

Eheh na. I'm back already.

Chioma!!! I exclaim

"I'm serious".

Ok na. Is Amara around?

I think so. I saw her some minutes ago.

Bye. I'm hungry.

Go and eat before you disappear.

Hahahaha.

I meet Amaka Eze and Mirabel at my hostel's canteen. They are on their way from church.

"Ushers!" I hail them.

Jor Jor, whatsup Mirabel says.
Justina whatsup? Your hair is nice. Shebi you didn't go to church? Amaka adds

Chika Onu is coming out of her hall governor's room.

"Chikito" I say. "You've not gone home?"

I just came to pick something. I'm going back.

"Enjoyment".

I climb upstairs and leave Amaka, Mirabel and Chika to finish up their gist.

My friend Ijay is using the Wifi service in front of her room

"Awoof dey run belle o" I call out to her.

"Waka waka, are you back?" She asks.

Hope my rice is ready.

See your mouth. Efi.

I laugh.

Chika Okafor is washing plates infront of her room

"Neighbourson oho oho!" She screams as soon as she sees me.

"Chikason International,", I reply.

My room mate, Muna is in. Her friends are with her.

She hugs me.

"Jor Jor, I've missed you"

"I've missed you too.. In my dreams tho"

You're so mean, Jor Jor. Tufia!!

Muna is a darling.

3:10pm
Ijay and I leave for fellowship. We are 10mins late. Thanks to me.
We meet Nnaemeka Ugwu downstairs. He's the worship leader for the day.
Few minutes later, He climbs the stage. I ascend into the heavenlies.
That guy is an Angel.

To be Continued...

GLOBACOM SHUTS UNEC DOWN WITH TIMAYA, MI AND RUNTOWN, DJNEPTUNE AND DJLAMBO

Last night is a night that will not be forgotten in  hurry at the  University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus as Globacom ended its week long mouth watering Campus Data Bundle campaign tagged 'Glo campus storm' with an enveloping event which brought down A list artistes such as Timaya, MI and Runtown to the white house of the prestigious institution. Yours truly was there and brings you reports! The event was slated to start by 4pm although it later started much later that night due to problems with the generator which was to be used to power the auditorium and other equipments for the event. Many students left for emergency night class in the few opened classes like Abuja auditorium and Coscharis building. Luck however was on the side of the patient students who were already murmuring that the show was a scam, when PHCN restored power supply around 11pm. Immediately the power was restored, all the students including those who left for till day break studying returned and the a...

CRUSH ISSUES

I was standing by a corner of the road awaiting any oncoming tricycle (keke) to halt. "Mummy will kill me today. How did I forget to look at my wristwatch?", I wondered aloud as I searched my head for any sugar coated excuse to give her for staying out so late. "Hello". Excuse me", a strong and smooth voice behind me said. I ignored the voice. Hello, please excuse me".The voice repeated and seemed to draw closer. I turned around. My eyes couldn't believe who I saw so I quickly looked away. "I'm sorry to bother you but I couldn't help but notice you alot in there". The voice called again. It was Kiss Danel. Yes, Kiss Daniel. The celebrity. The Woju crooner. My all time celebrity crush.He was the one seeking my attention. Wonders shall never end.  Kiss was the guest artiste at the event I had just attended at African cultural centre, Kano.Throughout the event, I noticed he kept looking at me or maybe in my direction but I wade...

The Error of 'Don't you Know you are a Girl? '

Part 1 Dear Society, When you want to correct a female going wrong, especially a child,  do not remind her that she is a girl. Do not tell her to stop because she is a girl. Tell her to stop and change because her actions are wrong. When she wears a skirt and sits with her legs wide open,  tell her to close them because it is wrong to sit with your undies exposed. When she talks arrogantly,  correct her because it is wrong to speak that way. Don't tell her to be polite because girls should be. Sensible humans are polite. Politeness is not gender specific. When she dresses indecently,  correct the wrongness of the dressing. Don't make it about her gender. Decency doesn't apply to one gender. When she is unable to cook at 18, remind her that it is only reasonable for an adult to be capable of making food for his/her survival. No gender needs the skill more. When she rides her car in a rough manner,  remind her that wrong driving has sent many to their...
