Jobs/VacanciesRe: Some Fun While Job Hunting by BEANSndPLANTAIN(m): 2:14pm On Jan 15, 2020
How I spent my holidays and my goals for 2020.
When it comes to Christmas and New Year holidays, it's like getting two gifts in a single box. I don't know about you, but, these gifts comes once in a year. I have life and it's holidays.


I didn't enjoy my holiday to the fullest although my deepest wish was to have had a wonderful time.
The holidays caught me squatting at Afe Babalola University school hostel. I went there initially as a guest to visit my bossom friend from the village. But when he traveled back to the village, I occupied his bed space.


When it was just few days in to the holidays, I was reported as a squatter to "The Blues" also known as the hostel portal. I was thrown out to a half dying moon and I had no where to go except CLT to lay my head. CLT lights were now brighter than before and I could see Christmas lightening and Carol tunes gently soliloquizing yet in resonance with the calm stream-like environment .



In the morning, I called my friend to explain what had happened, he surprised me by asking if I paid for hostel accommodation and banged the call.
Well, that's friends for you. At least, he tried for me because I ate his food for a while.


That same day, 24th December, I and had met some people with the same predicament like me. We all slept in the CLT and talked about places we could go to have some fun.


I suggested we trek to River Ureje. Some of my fellow undergraduate homeless friends argued about the distance or proximity to school but I said it's for sightseeing and pictures. We concluded and decided to set out early in the morning by 6am.


By morning, the number of people that were willing to go had multipled from 8 to 19! 4 girls and and 15 young lads. Some with headphones plugged to their ears and some with Bluetooth speakers. Some with their girlfriend and others with their lightly packed backpack.


I discovered that the Sun seems to be aware of our planned movement and it came out early. I believe now, it came to warn us rather than the misconception that it came to guide us.


The Sun was shining but it was very cold as we went through the Bush-locked paths and crooked roads. My cutlass swinging from left to right like the "AKUPE" leather fan in Peter Edochie's hand.


After a 2 hours walk, the girls complained about being tried and the distance. Some were even bending like corn trees struggling against the wind. I am thankful they didn't say I was taking them for a sacrifice.


In the Afternoon, after a three hours long journey, and passing Omowon village, Dugbe village, then through Iropo oniro ni e settlements, we were greeted by a beautiful scenery : water beyond waters, vast than my voice could travel over.


We found Ureje river banks already teeming with tourists, but that didn't deter the boys. I dropped my back pack, brought out my swimming trunk, went to the back of a wide tree to hide my pin-sized penis. Then I changed into the swimming trunk and ran out like a horse released during a horse race, jumped from a high section in to the waters.


I was only used to swimming pools with a trainer. Here I am head deep under water and eyes hurting. Here I am wondering why my legs is yet to get the floor.


A moment of anticipated joy quickly shifted to that of fear and a struggle to survive. I twisted in the waters and vigorous moved my left and right hand, then my right and left leg, looking for nothing to grab.


Water entered my right ear and I took a massive gulp of Ureje. If you ask me, it didn't taste like a gulp of Palmwine nor a taste of pounded yam. It tasted like " Dele! You are going to die today! "


I frantically moved my whole body hoping someone telepathically hears me. That was the first time I prayed to God in over 7 years, in my moment of desperation.
"God I don't want to die, my parents don't even know where I am."


It's either someone heard me telepathically or God heard me and sent a man to save me. The man pushed me up the water with a sharp jive, but I drank more water. He pushed me again and my afro surfaced and I gasped for air.
Splashing my both hands on the water; I was desperately trying to swim, grab onto the man saving me and at the same time struggling for air.


I don't want to drink water anymore; I am not a fish, but my mouth thinks otherwise. I don't want to die; I want to live, but this water thinks otherwise.


I woke up at the river bank some minutes later. Exhausted and my throat hurting, I opened my water clogged eyes slowly to see dark shadows and gradually it turned grey and it became people. The whole world was standing over me, few familiar faces and deep toned ekiti local parlance. I thought I had died and my soul was seeing other souls.


Now I know death is not an easy journey and so is swimming. I dragged my self up and Ayo gave my arm a firm grip from behind to help me from falling. I went and sat under a tree alone with my hands folded in front of my calf trying to recollect how everything happened.

I was very sober and shy, or maybe afraid. My friend, Ade, came and gave me bread. While stretching his hands out with the bread, he followed it with, "you should have drowned gently without noise and die so that I can enjoy my bread alone". Slowly, I looked at him and I slowly turned my gaze away from him unto Ureje. Ureje the "deathly beauty''.


I kept thinking how nairaland front page news would have read, "Afe Babalola Undergraduate Statistician Drowns in Ureje. Body Not Found". Various captions ran through my mind and possible comments.


My friends continued to swim and we were later accommodated by the Village Head. We were well fed and when morning came, the Village Head hired two buses to transport us back to campus and the villagers bid us bye.


The next day, word quickly spread about my predicament and luck. And with this I have concluded to make being observative a goal this year.

In 2020, any bodies of water more than 4 buckets, I am staying away from it.


I have also decided I won't be going into the Bush, cutting through unknown paths, because non of my generation is related to Orunmila; the god that makes path ways in the forest, leads journies and human fate.

Op, I believe you should be able to teach in a school or lesson. With that, you will be busy, earn, you can save up to buy a system, you can also meet somebody that has your sympathy.
For a starter, don't underestimate days of little beginning.
Also, put God first and the last.
I pray you find it easy
I it's not easy to save for a laptop when teaching... Especially when you are earning 15k except if you want to buy scrap laptop
