I can remember being so broke at a point in my life I never knew I would live to see the coming years.

It was a very rough time for me and not that I am okay presently as I desire but I never pray to ever be taken back to that time.

I had actually gone through a lot of brokenness, most especially as an undergraduate, but this one was on EasyBlaze, it was faster than me and I could not meet up with the basic things of life.

Being broke sometimes is actually part of being a student, but mine was different as sometimes I would have to eat Eba as breakfast and not with stew, but with beans I bought from the food vendor. To make it last, I would make the Eba so much so as to sustain me till the following day. Once the Eba was on ground, getting the beans wasn't much of an issue.

I could always get that on credit and promised the woman to pay the following day, but that would be the last time she would see me for that week.

I had seven vendors I worked with then, and I would always rotate my patronage from then on credit. When I buy from Iya Yodi on Monday, she would be of the opinion I had gone on Hajj as I would nowhere to be found for the rest of the week.

Same thing applies to Basic, Iya Rafia, Eat n Bellefool, Standard, Iya Sultan and Mama Agba.

They all knew me as a loyal, credit man. But you know what, they loved me because I was so young and cute they just took me as their kid. I was this kind of Independent student then. I never always wanted to bother my peepz at home.

Though my monthly allowance was always regular, kudos to Baba Sanya for that, but you know now. It would never be enough for you as a student. At a point, I began to go about with my special spoon anytime I wanna visit a friend.

They know me, I had this kind of soft knock. So when they suspected I was the one at the door.

They hid whatever meal they had. I remember visiting Wale at a time and he had hid his meal under his bed, totally forgotten about Kuku, the cat he had as pet.

It was so unfortunate for him that Kuku was right under the bed when he hid his meal. We gisted for some time and when I noticed he had nothing, I left. He later confessed to me in school how his pet had eaten the food he hid from me.

This never disturbed my Academic performance, I wondered how I was able to cope. But I just always passed without having a CO throughout my stay on campus and I left with a 2.1.

I got a turn around eventually when I began organizing tutorials for kids in Secondary and Primary schools.

And it was a very good decision I made then as the kids in the area made me their mentor and always looked up to me for both moral and financial assistance. They all called me Uncle SY, not even realizing I was just some few years older than majority of them.

School was fun and I will still be letting you guys know about I got tear gased in my first ALUTA EXPERIENCE on Campus, and My Soujourn to FUTA in search of true love. LOVE YOU ALL.
