An event that impacted my life as a child. Unedited

At the age of 11,I went off to boarding school at FGGC GBoko.Before this time I had never been to the northern part of Nigeria.All my childhood was in Eastern Nigeria so going to GBoko was met with some apprehension on my part and strangely the feeling wasn't just mine.My mother was excited her little girl was going off to a federal school which was a very prestigious institution then and at the same time worried about having her very far away from home.
My older brother had gone to Holy Ghost College Owerri,a few miles from home and this was quite new to the family.

I arrived Gboko dressed in my sparkling daywear and socks and sandals.A few families we knew in Owerri already had their girls in GBoko including my elementary school mate Chika so I was excited I would know someone there.
Chika was from anambra state and her father worked in one of the federal establishments in Owerri.
We weren't particularly close friends at aladinma but being from the same estate and finding ourselves in faraway GBoko,we became inseparable.Our parents would ride together to visit on visiting days and when mine couldn't make it,they sent messages through hers and vice versa.We had the same skinny build and dark skin tone and many actually mistook us for sisters,so when Chika would come down with sickle cell crisis,I was always the one by her bedside in the sickbay,to hold her hands and comfort her,help copy her notes and bring back the assignments.She could always count on me,I loved her like a sister and she knew it.
Nothing prepared me that faithful Tuesday when Chika fell sick like in times past that she wouldn't be returning to FGGC ever again
Chika passed away.I had never lost any friends till this time and I had a hard time handling it.
I would dream of her and wake up with my heart beating.i would sometimes pray that she returned and some nights I thought about her and cried.
Sometimes I would sit up and expect her to come running to my corner as in times past.I never knew children also died.It was a hard thing to bear.
many years and decades after I still think of her sometimes
What could she have become?
Would she have been also married and a mother of children just like myself
Well I'll never know.
But hers was my introduction to the bitter pain of death.
may her soul continue to RIP

berem:
very touching story!

CFCfan:
Lol. The Naira devaluation will ultimately lead to an increase in the price of imported goods.

I think the prize money could be split into 2, for both the winner and runner-up.

UjSizzle:
Have you donated now?

Someone tell this guy how to donate please

shaggy007:
Girl when you find out how to donate, lemme know.

I'm want to do this for the graduates only.

babyosisi:
Inverted hammer dem say humans no fit write am

UjSizzle:
Babyosisi, please can you attend to him?

babyosisi:
Wouldn't I be a serious contender with that story?
How long did that take me
I wrote it just here and now

By the way I didn't go to gboko
I went to another FGGC

babyosisi:
I dash you him

UjSizzle:
Not quite. Unless you've forgotten the cbn also increased the reserve ratio of commercial, who in turn will increase their interest rate.

How many business men use their money to import stuff anyway? These people are major borrowers. So at least there's less to borrow and more to be paid back.

And I know it won't completely eliminate looming inflation rates, but at least we'll be spared from hyper inflation.

Now how much could an unemployed graduate possibly need to buy, aside the basics?
Unless he/she chooses to be frugal, I think this should make them reasonably comfortable (even with chopping mummy's rice and a roof over their head).
If it's Christmas shopping, well most stores sell at a discounted rate anyway to get rid of old stock.

aisha2:
Gbam that is why you go to buy items and they tell you " no change " with a straight face expecting you to leave that " small money" and attempt to " shame" you by getting angry and complaining of you demand for your change." sister wetin you want make we do now, all this suffer over how much self, you pass this small change na madam you be ' big gal'"
Its only when you don't work hard and right for your money that anyone can shame you on top your own money
All those complaining should go and open their own thread and dash their money for free. Babyosisi has given her own criteria if you like sleep here it wont change. Mufus

One thing my sisters have failed to realise despite being on Nairaland for years is Mufus feed fat on the attention you guys give them with back and forth with mentions. I never acknowledge them even if they call me begging desperately for attention a million times. Ignore them, thats all the attention they get, they probably get none in their real lives hence resort to tantrum throwing here desperately begging " notice me notice me, start a back and forth pointless argument with me, come down to my gutter level lets get dirty together, thats the highlight of my day" learn to ignore them, don't give them the attention high they desperately look for. Even Cococandy seems to be learning these days if na before she for don write plenty essay for them lol

My suggestion:
If the big enough, we can have 1st,2nd and 3rd prices respectively.

How una see am?

How I wish I qualify.

aisha2:
Beautiful. Can we please kick off the real competition? People who want to apply may be distracted from all the market noise down here and lost in the sea of back and forth.

Open the new thread so it can formally kick off. Seek the cooperation of the moderator(s) in that section to hide any comment that is not a story or an application.
Enough talk lets get started

Thanks for your donation. Right now, rewarding only the top 2 seems plausible.

pickabeau1:
in addition, a generic name can be suggested for it rather than a personal one
if the pledges are redeemed it is a good one however the modality was not ideal initially

aisha2:
I suggest we leave it. Its here initiative we are only supporting her.
