It was the usual heat infested Thursday afternoon lecture in UNIMAID’S famous JAC lecture theater and I and my buddy “kelvin bottle-eye obiano” were as usual reclined on the first row of the class.
It was hot as hell! The class fan was more of an antique and it wasn't a particularly windy day. Therefore dishing out biochemistry lectures under these circumstances wasn't really a hand in glove situation.
It must've been the hypoglycemia or the impending heat exhaustion but I and kelvin suddenly had a monalisa moment as we decided to make a drawing of our lecturer.
We immediately jettisoned the incomprehensible organic chemistry compounds and diverted our attention to drawing our female biochemistry lecturer. I made the real time drawing including the chalkboard and the writings on it and a nearby clock,while the serious minded, detailed, class guru kelvin put in the colors with his green, blue, black and red pens. The only detail we missed was nothing.
Just as we finished, the PHD holder, wife of the provost of medical college,biochemistry lecturer of ours beckoned on us and in her words “ I've been watching both of you.Now come out along with that paper you've been transferring between yourselves.’
At this point I was close to having a generalized tonic clonic seizure along with total loss of all sphincteric functions and like condemned criminals we walked sheepishly to the slaughter.
She enquired about the papers content and we were both mute and when she insisted on an answer we chorused something that sounded like in between Greek Latin and ibibio.
Just as she was about to collect it,she made a dramatic u-turn and asked us to return to our seats.we did that faster than any Husain bolt past or future.in our hearts we kept praising God in all languages of all religions in the world.
