... ''ehis, leave am, the boy go buy alomo for everyone wey dey this place'' said one of them

'' Bros, I no get money o, I be 100 level'' I said ,stammering. Sweat was beginning to run through my face. My legs were shaking very fast.

'Temy, you sef compose yourself you no be man?, see as you dey shake like cat fish' I thought to my self. But this matter pass me, I was too young, I was just 20years old, a naive young boy. I no wan die.

Funny enough, I was actually given the worst orientation ever, that if you were a ''Jew man'', ( A slang people in confranities use to lebel students who didn't belong to a cult group) you should always be loyal to every confra guy, else you might get played.

Immediately, I brought out all the little change in my pocket, estimated about 1,500 naira. I was going to be broke that week.

''so you even get money, you con dey lie, How much be that''? The short ugly looking guy asked?

''Bring am'' he shouted ''we for play you anyhow for here''

''thank you sir'' I replied.

''collect our phone number, if anybody disturb you for this campus just tell us'' one of the boys said.

I collected their numbers and left. My cloth was soaked that day with sweat. Is this the kind of life, I intend to start experiencing?, I tot to myself. Thompson a close friend of mine saw me, working past the school game

Thompson: Temy wetin dey xup, see as you dey sweat like Christmas Goat.

Me: mehn, wetin I see today, I just dey wonder why my liver no fail me

Thompson: wetin happen, Girl break your heart?

Me: Nooo, (I wiped the sweat off my face) we go yan the matter later no be for here. People fit dey observe. Wetin you cook?

Thompson: Na beans dey house o, and I no get bread. Na only garri.

Me: after this wahala, na beans and garri, I wan go chop, wetin dey xup?
