Dear Readers, I believe we all noticed what happened at the end of "2go Love story", I had to rushed and summarized the last two updates because some of us didn't abide to the agreement we had, thereby not adding some of the events that happened. This is a short story, I will try my best to make it short as possible, I will only update once each day. Please bear with me. Thanks, Yemi2plus. 1 Like |

It was a sunny Thursday morning in the town of Anyigba. I woke up at around 10:00am feeling; exhausted, tired and weak due to a football match my lodge played against a neighbouring lodge the previous day. The football match ended Marijuana Lodge 2- 7 Supreme Lodge. Marijuana, that was the name of my lodge. I moved in few months ago with some crazy family members. I wasn't surprised the lodge was named after the Great Indian Hemp smoker, Marijuana II. After all, there were lodges around the school community named after different people and things like; 2go lodge, Facebook lodge, Akamu lodge, Osama Bin Laden lodge and even Indomie Lodge. The landlord of Marijuana lodge was an Igbo man from the Eastern part of Nigeria. Yes, he wasn't the business-minded kind of Igbo man, rather he was an addict smoker of "igbo" also known as Marijuana. He spent days and nights boiling his blood through his mouth with Marijuana like his life depended on it. Maybe his life actually depended on Marijuana, I could stil recalled the last time he was unable to buy a 'wrap', he almost run mad. However, we, the occupants, of Marijuana lodge were the direct opposite of the landlord. We were all easy-going students who minded our businesses and studies. "We have a football match to play with Supreme lodge later this evening," my mind pump out the words. It was true, Pizarro had informed me the previous day as I stood outside washing my mouth. His real name was Peter but we all called him Pizarro. He was my co-tenant and caretaker at Marijuana lodge, and also one of the best footballer at Marijuana lodge. I still remember our last conversation the previous day; "Hope na gamble o? I nor dey play ball without money o" I had stated. Since the day I dislocated my left leg during a friendly football match in Benin City, I vowed never to risk my life in a football match that involved little or no money and my reason for that was simple ... if I broke or dislocated my leg or hand during a gamble match, then, I would use my share of the money to treat myself. "yes na! Before nko? You reason me like person wey dey play ball without money" Pizarro spoke Queen's Pidgin English as he walked to Barrister Tanko's house to buy water. If there was anything that attracted babes and even guys to Pizzaro then it was the fact that he was fair, handsome, intelligent, and had a well masculine body. His six packs were obvious and would give most male students a run for their girlfriends. "na how much?" I shouted as Pizzaro went out of sight, but silent greeted my question. I quickly washed my mouth, took my bath, wore new clothes and walked to the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the venue for my first lecture that Wednesday morning. I arrived the Faculty few minutes later and met some of my faculty mates searching for an empty lecture theatre. I joined them as the search continued, we found a vacant lecture theatre, walked in and settled down while the class representative went to call the lecturer who had refused to lecture in a lecture theatre dedicated to the Pre-Degree students at the Centre for Pre- Degree and Diploma Studies. Minutes later, the lecturer came in. We were well arranged, though some students were yet to arrive. "Good morning class!" the lecturer greeted as the he stepped inside the dirty lecture theatre. "How would the lecture theatre get cleaned when the cleaners were always busy gisting about life under a well shaded tree not too far from the lecture theatre and enjoying the cool breeze of the day?"....I asked myself as I tried to dust a dirty table close to me. Well, were they to be blamed? I guessed No! where would they get strength to work when they barely had enough food to eat? The little money most of them had was spent on raising their children that they hardly had a penny for themselves. Well, that was none of my business, I quickly shut the thought out of my mind. "Good morning sir!" we all replied the lecturer in unison. "Today, we're going to treat a new and different topic....." he started his ever boring lecture. The lecture went on smoothly. As usual, the lecturer introduced some new topics and books, then asked us to look-up for more information on the internet. "That will be all for today, see you all next week" he said as I mimiced. That sentence had always been his last word in each lecture we had from him. I gazed at him as he picked up his files and majestically walked out of the lecture theatre. 1 Like 1 Share |

"na which kind rubbish that lecturer just teach?" "you understand wetin e teach?" "na me you dey ask?" "na who you want my ask before?" "na you pay my school fee wey you go dey ask me question?" Students asked themselves totally discombobulated after the boring lecture. I folded my notebook and handout into my back pocket and walked to beautiful Victoria, who sat at the back of the lecture theatre due to lateness. Victoria was a nice christian girl who helped me when I needed help the most, she was indeed a God sent angel. I sometimes wonder where I would be if not for her. She was naturally endowed with; good height, a little above average breast size, well curved hips and crowned with a divine black beauty from above. "what's up?!" I asked giving her one of my best smile. "do you understand what the lecturer taught?" She answered with another question as I joined her on the seat she sat on. How did she expect me to understand, when the intelligent students could not grabbed any senseable thing from what the lecturer said? "but you were in class" I replied trying to avoid her question. "I came late, I don't understand all the rubbish he said". She was right. The lecturer was as useless as the questions he set during a test the previous class. Imagine, a lecturer asking useless questions like; how much does brother Jero own Anope in the Novel "the trial of brother Jero?", How much is a dozen of fish that the fish seller is selling? "I will explain to you later, I'm feeling hungry now!" I had said to her. I was indeed hungry. I didn't eat the previous night before going to bed and before coming to school that morning. "let's go to my house! I was cooking...." she suggested. "that's why I came late" she stated the reason for her lateness to class. "don't worry! I will get myself something to eat" I said pretending like I had money on me. It was the middle March. I was really broke, I spent most of the money sent to me on Victoria. I was left with five hundred naira which I intended to pay during Nigeria Rap musical "Olamide" performance at the school stadium in some days time. "don't talk to me again, if you don't want to follow me home to eat" she said with a serious face. "and if I don't?" I asked. She blinked her eyes like that of an 'ashawo' angry at her customer, stood up and angrily walked out of the lecture theatre. "Victoria!!!.....Victoria!!!" I called. "woman wrapper! You nor go leave this girl alone?" Chika, a male student asked. "woman wrapper" was not my birthname, it was a nickname given to me by one of my Literature lecturer because of Victoria. Want to know how I got the nickname? Click the link on my signature! "you dey craze?! Na your leg I tay follow her waka?" I replied Chika. "your father!" he fried at me. Chika was a student who lived in "Dangana" hostel inside the school campus. Since they were warned never to fight in or off campus, they resulted in using the only abusive phrase they could think of "your father!". "your father yansh" I fired back at him. "if dey born you well insult my papa again, if I nor go slap you" Chika threatened. "slap him and graduate" the class representative informed Chika of the director's saying. "your father!". "your father!". "your mother breasst". We exchanged abusive words at eachother. The female students stood waiting for who would slap first and get an automatic graduation ticket. "your father dicck". Bummi, a friend of mine fired at Chika. Chika became furious and grabbed Bummi by his shirt. "insult my papa again" Chika dared Bummi. "leave my shirt before I light you slap" Bummi shouted at Chika. "I nor go leave your shirt, do your worse" "your father right yansh" Bummi insulted. Before I could look at the direction Victoria passed through, Chika landed Bummi two hot slaps simultaneously. Without wasting time, Bummi replied him with a hard knock on his face. It generated into a fight. They were both dragged to the Centre of Pre-Degree and Diploma Studies to face the panel of justice. "my phone o! Dem don thief my phone" a female student cried. That was not the first, second nor third time a phone was stolen inside that class. "you better forget the phone e don go be that" I told her the fact. The phone was gone and gone for good, there was nothing she could do to bring it back. "I keep saying it for a reason, you slap, you graduate" The director for Pre-Degree Studies said to Bummi and Chika at his office. "we are sorry sir!" "it will never happen again". They both pleaded. "yes! It can never happen again, at least, not with you two......" "as the rule stands, you both have graduated from Kogi State University today" the director gave his final judgment. That was how Chika and Bummi graduated with a first class degree in the Faculty of "fightology" department of "slapology" Kogi State University, Anyigba. 6 Likes |
