"O Ye Rat" 1 by OlofofoOAU: 4:40pm On Apr 29, 2016
BY Damilola Towobola (Toblan SPICE.)

The semester creeps in with the herald of the 'frosh' and
beautiful faces...I had to crawl down to Mozambique hall
as Awoites that stayed over the break were already hunting
us as meat suppleme nts for their oil rice.(chuckles) I have
been a Troubador in search of greener pastures.

This is me, It's time to get myself a nap...Manna has come!
What's my P? First, I'm a rat which means life is hard as
survival is like in a state of nature which is nasty, brutish
and short. I'm presently looking scurvy as a result of the
academic holiday(famine). Secondly, meet my
family...That's Ted, the oldest rat in the Colony; here is my
Mom, Lasdiara. Oh! I forgot to say sherma, my nephew got
murdered in Awo block 5 and lastly, my lust for books
(knowledge) is unexplainable as I consume like a Prof.
Hush...least I forget I'm Penny.

Food is Fuel so I have to be a thief and to survive I have to
be smart and brave. I recall how I do scare the girls, make
them do Suwe when I embark on my Usain boltic runs
around the room (smiles...rubbing my protruded belly).
Now You have to meet my Landlords:

*Lucy: the sassy cute girl from the other part of the country
whose goodies are like stocks in Shoprite. "That's my
canaanland of food"

*Mulikat is the typical girl you wish not to stagger into her
corner or locker, though the aroma from her meals makes
me pray to be a good cook.

*Sandra, a regular patron of Fork and fingers. I only urinate
on her cloth and roll on it when I am belly filled from my
escapades. She aint nice.

They seem lovely and fresh as the semester begins. Oh! I
wish I can wave at Lucy, she has been really
accommodating with her locker a colony of 'dis-
arrangement'. Well I love her habit.

The days take a stroll turning pages like' One TIMES
SUCCESS', as I regain my weigh looking bit of fleshy. I
struggle nowadays to glide down the poles and sneak into
my holes. Mulikat's squatter saw me during the day
'soliloquizing' and I'm getting curious with her corner
suddenly becoming rosy with goodies like trap. I need to
find out what brings the generosity..."O YE RAT"?
Hurriedly, I fled.

That's a rat poison!!! And knowledge has saved me.
Knowledge is truly Power...I'm the most literate rat within
the walls of Ife eating books for decades. " I recall eating
TY's engineering textbook (snort).

Well, Life in the hostel is not that much funky as most
students are buried in their books, scarcity of food pervades
the rooms to the extent the last grains are eaten. I just pray
for darkness most times so I can operate. I must stylishly
say in Mozambique Hall, I live in Fantasy!!!

Hostels in Obafemi Awolowo University.
