'Some dark forces are trying to rob me of my moment. They are just sitting there mocking me and I wouldn't keep allowing them do that to me. I finally find a guy I was really feeling and he just had to have a 'comma' '. I said to myself

'Nne the baby, is something disturb you? I am more than capable. 'gwam', I mean tellu me the plobrem.' Oga Jb said

I gave him the default smile and said;
'Nothing is bothering me, please excuse me.' Then, I got up to leave the table

'ngwanu, I would be here waiting for you my 'asa nwa' Oga Jb replied

I left the table quickly in search of Caroline. I saw her at the host's table and signalled her. She came straight to me and said;
'babe, wetyn happen?'

' can we go now?' I said

' ah ah, why the hurry? Or you think I didn't see you with that hunky?' she said

'that's the problem. If that guy open his mouth and talk to you, you would be appalled. Caroline, some evil forces are mocking me o. See that guy, he looks even edible but with the way he sounds. I wouldn't be caught dead with him.' I said

'awww, sorry dear but your standard sef too high. I doubt if any guy could cut it. Why not just relax and go with the flow? Jb is well-to-do, has a superb body. You gaining a little extra change isn't all that bad you know' Caroline said

'Since you can see all this good qualities, why not go for him?!' I barked back

'Hey calm down na. She said laughing then continued saying; 'its you he obviously wants. He has been staring at you since you walked in. I watched you dance with him, you didn't mind much before o' she said

'whatever, just go and say your goodbyes so we can go.' I said
Caroline chuckled as she left while I walked back to my table to get my purse.

'Nne, you come back. Chai! Sit down na' Oga Jb said

'errmm, I can't. I have to go, its late.' I said

'No problem, I'll use my 'murano jeepu' to drop you.' he said

'alright, let me call my friend. We came together. That's if you dnt mind.' I said

'ok o, anything for you' Jb said
I walked off to find Caroline.

Jb dropped off Caroline at her lodge and took me to mine. He stopped in front and parked his car, then said;
'Mummy, I rike you and would lealy want us to become good fliends. Is it money you want? I would spoil you with 'ego'. Just glee to be my fliend.'

' Jb, we would see how things go. Its too soon to tell.' I said

'ngwanu, give me your number so I can callu you later' he said
I gave him the number and was about getting out of the car when he called me back. He opened the pigeon hole and brought out a wad of one thousand naira notes and gave it to me.
' take this, use it for lecharge card. I would callu you. Bye bye' he said and he drove off before I could even decline.

'this guy means business o, maybe it wouldn't harm to hang with him afterall' I said to myself as I walked to my room

Deedee was asleep when I got in. 'Thank goodness, my school mama don dey tire. She for continue na' I said to myself
I was obviously pleased about how the night turned out.

'When did you get in yesterday night?' Deedee said as she woke me up

'Dnt tell me that is why you woke me up' I said

'partly and you would be late for lectures if I didn't, so tell me' she Said

'this girl, you dey find who go kill you abi? How it you business? Please stay out of my business and leave me alone. Ah ah, who said I wanted a school mother? ' I said

'you are my business na, and I'm minding you' she said

'come we no be mate o, respect yourself. Leave me alone' I said and turned to continue sleeping

' Get up jare, dnt you have lectures this morning? Its 8am o' she said

'Shit, for real? That means no chair for me today except Caroline makes it on time' I said as I jumped out of bed. I hurriedly prepared for school and left the house by 8:45 am.


I got to my lecture hall by 9:15am after treking from registry to C.C.E building. I was panting and sweating profusely when I got in. The lecture had began, infact it was almost over. The lecturer happened to be Dr. Amadi.

'hmmm, Miss Jenny decided to grace us with her presence. What do you have to say for your self?' Dr. Amadi said

'sir, I... I started to say but was interrupted by my ringtone. I searched for my phone in my hand bag so that I could silent it.

'Get out of my class and come back when you are more composed' Dr. Amadi said as he turned to face the class and continued his lecture.


I walked out and found the phone finally at the side zip. It was JB that was calling.
'Hello' I said

' Honey m, how was ya night? ' he said

' fine, please I'm having lectures. I'll call you back' I said

' No plobrem, just frash me when you finish' He said

'ok' I said as I dropped the call and put my phone on vibration. As I tried to walk back into the class, Dr. Amadi packed his books and announced;
'You would be taking my test next class, let me have my attendance sheet.' then he left.

' test ke? Wetyn I know wey I wan write test' I murmured

I looked up at famous and thought to myself;
'I wouldn't want anybody stalking me with calls o. Well, he looks cool. Should I give him my number? Errmm, why am I even putting so much thought into this sef? After all he didn't say lets get married or something. Its just hanging out and I'm sure he means no harm.'

' ok, give me your phone so I'll dail my number so I can save yours' I said

'errmm, I dnt have airtime now. Just give me the digits and I'll call you later' he said

'he is even broke gosh! Nawa o. You can't recharge your phone, you wan carry girl commot. How do I get out of this? ' I said to myself while giving him a default smile.

'why dnt you give me your number and I'll call you?' I said

'haha, Jenny wants to 'post' me. I have heard that line from ladies and they never call. Please, Just give me your number and I'll do the calling' he said

'ok whatever, 080*****.' I said

'I'll call you. You would have to excuse me, I have issues to attend to.' He said

'ok, later na' I said

As he left, the lecturer handling the first class came in. I had to enter the lecture hall this time irrespective of how I felt or how hot it was. I walked in and saw Caroline waving. I squeezed pass people and got to where she was sitting, she had used her bag to save a seat for me.

'Damn girl, you are a life saver' I said to her

'what are friends for na' she said

'inconveniences obviously. I can imagine what people have been saying or doing to you just to sit here.' I Said

We both started laughing. I went on to tell her about broke Famous and we laughed uncontrollably totally forgetting there was a lecturer in front of us.

'You two, what's so funny? Stand up and share with the class ' the lecturer said

Caroline started to reply;
'nothing Ma, I...'

' Ma, I asked her where she stopped in her note because I wanted to update mine with hers. She called me lazy that's why we were laughing.' I quickly interrupted

Caroline's eyes widened with suprise as I said this. My poker face is perfect, you can't tell when I'm lieing. So I put up the face and the lecturer had no choice.

'Just sit down and if you have other things you want to discuss with your friend, let it be after my lecture! ' she said as she turned to her hand-out and started dictating from it.

'phew! , that was close. Thank goodness you are a good liar' Caroline said. I just chuckled and started writing.


**********
It was Wednesday evening when Caroline called;
'I have been invited to a party this evening at 'pioneer garden' , are you interested so we could go and check it out together?'


Pioneer garden is one of the numerous bars or hang out zones near school. Chairs and tables are arranged outside, so you stay in or out. There is a 'suya spot' by one side with an hausa guy preparing it while food and pepper soup are sold inside. It is a typical 'Igbo' hanging out zone where students and the indegenes of the neighbouring villages come to chill after the day's work.

' why not, I am game but you have to come pick me up. What's the dresscode?'

'babe, just look hot' Caroline said

'that one easy na' I said

'I dey believe you na, I'll pick you up by 8pm' Caroline said


Caroline and I walked into the bar looking glamorously hot. While Caroline searched for the host of the party, I scanned the place for the perfect company for the evening. Not so long after, my eyes met with this very fine young man. He had the right body and I mean that seriously. He had like six or eight packs and the biceps were just the right size. I could tell by just looking at the way his polo hugged his rock solid chest.


At this point, some people had started dancing while others just sat drinking and cheering them on. I sat down at a strategic spot where I could managed to keep my eyes on my 'Mr sexy' and not look too obvious. After downing about three bottles of 'smirnoff ice' , my morale had skyrocketed. I got up to dance , I joined the people on the dance floor. Just so you know, my dancing skills are superb. As I put my skills to good use, Mr sexy couldn't resist for too long and joined me.

Damn!!, his body felt so good so close to mine. His biceps made me feel safe like he could protect me(not that i needed any at this point). I tried not to do much damage to his manliness this time( wouldn't want him asking me 'how much because I'm not selling anything). We kept at this for awhile until I was exhausted.
I asked him if we could go sit and he nodded and followed me back to my chair.

I tried to start a conversation atleast get to know the dude I've been 'rocking' for two hours.
'my name is Jennifer' I said
He just smiled and said nothing.

'hmmm, Mr sexy is playing mysterious, sexy!! ' I said to myself

'this is the point you tell me your name atleast courtesy demands that and I just told you mine' I said

'Nne, my name is Johnbull but my fliends callu me oga Jb. He said with a concentrated Igbo accent.

I gawked at him
'oh my goodness' was all I could say

*****
Its monday morning, normally I hate mondays especially if I've had an exciting weekend. The kind of weekend you wouldn't want to end where there is partying, booze and more booze. That sort of weekend after which you wake up with a hang-over( throbbing pain in the head and everything just seem to piss you off the morning after). Then imagine adding lectures to that feeling. F.U.T.O is built in highly dispersed community- like setting. The lecture halls are so far apart from each other, so there's need to adapt to the intense 'nomadic' way of life to meet up with all your lectures. As a lady, add hang-over to lectures plus lots of treking under the scorching sun wearing heels. Arrghhhh!!!

This particular monday morning was nothing like that. Infact, I woke up feeling elated, I could even afford to dance one of my 'victory- dances' . I had hyper-energy( I think I could have lifted a house or car if I had wanted to that morning). As I prepared for school, I hummed the lyrics of fifteen by Taylor Swift. Deedee kept looking at me like I was going mad or something. I was in a good mood and would't let her spoil it. How often does a 'p-dite'(the predegre students are called that in F.U.T.O) get to make an elderly lecturer in his late fifties speechless? Not so often my dear and I planned to savour every minute of it.

I took extra time applying my makeup and picking out my clothes. Deedee got tired of waiting for me and had to leave. According to her , 'if I wait until you finished, we would get to school just in time as all the lectures are over for the day'. I could careless of what she thought, afterall I knew my way around.

I dressed up, looked at the mirror to see if any last adjustment had to be made. As always, I had outdone myself. I looked like I belonged in pages of glossy magazines. I was 'making brains'.
I stopped a bike going 'inside school'. Deedee's lodge is a little bit far from school. She stays in one of the neighbouring villages near the school called 'Eziobodo'. The village is like one of those under developed places that wouldn't just improve. It had poor drainage system leading to horrible roads. When it rains there, people had to literally swim some parts before they could get to their lodges. Well, Deedee's place wasn't so deep into the village. The lodge was called 'Glo' lodge and I think for emphasis the owner painted it green.

The bike I entered was stopped at the 'old register office' by security men on duty saying they were instructed not to let bikes run in the premises during school hours. The old registry is barely ten minutes walk from Deedee's place . I was so sure the bike man knew this before I entered his bike, he sensed I was probably a novice since every student knew about the law(every one but me). I looked at the bike man scornfully and asked;
'how much?'

'ah ah, the price no dey change na. Na hundred naira' he said

' you well so, or na because I ask you the price you come double am? Na thirty naira I wan even pay you because you no carry me reach where i dey go' I said

When the bike man heard this he got aggressive.

'na me stop for you front or na u stop my bike, you go pay me my money o' he said

'oya no shout na, na fifty naira be the normal price and na wetyn i fit pay' I said as I stretched out my hand to pay him. He dragged the money from my hand and zoomed off raising dust as he left.

'nope, not letting it get to me. I'll not be upset' I said trying to calm myself down.

I walked the remaining distance down to the C.C.E (Centre for Continuing Education) building where my lectures held and lecture hall 2 was were I was supposed to take the lectures. The school park is near the building so I could hear students talking from there as I walked towards it.

It was 8:15 when I got there and the lecture hall was already full in time for the first lecture which was supposed to begin by 8:30. The lecture hall was so occupied that students were sitting on the window ledge. There weren't any louver blades attached to the window frame, just a big open hole in the wall representing the window.


As I started to walk into the class,I felt intense heat from having so many people crammed into the lecture hall that i turned back and stood at the door.
'where did all this people come from? They were not all here last week' I said

' A new list came out during the weekend making a total of two thousand predegree students' one random guy standing close to me said

'really? So we are that many? how many will they admit?' I said

The random guy replied;
I dnt know but am not bordered, my aunt works in the senate building and has promised that I'll get in this year'

'your own beta o' I said

He laughed then said;
'my name is Amos but my friends call me famous'

'I'm Jenny....Jenny Bond I said Jokingly. He laughed harder this time and said;
'you have a good sense of humour, Jenny. Errmm, can I have your number so we could hook up sometime?

chistar01: hmmmm.. Yea, that's right. Ruby, work on your descriptions just as chima just said, most of us didn't attend futo and we don't know how the lecture halls, lodges, church and even the characters look like, so you should help us to describe the environment, scenes, characters so that we can easily have a clearer image of the whole thing in our heads.

For example - 'rumour had it that prof Iyke was a man in his late fifties but I doubted it because he looked far younger. He was as robust as a Christmas turkey and could never be caught wearing corporate clothing as he was always on different native attires which were so stylish in nature that I even considered dropping all my western clothing(corporate and casuals) and adapt to his mode of dressing'.

'Damn!, this guy has some nerve' I said to myself
As I stood there obviously rattled by this guy's 'supposed apology'. I thought of lots of obnoxious words just to get back at him. When I had prepared myself, I started raining all sorts of abusive words on him, he got pissed and joined in. Caroline came in just in time as the bouncer threw us out of the club. She walked out calmly and joined me in the parking lot then asked; 'what was that all about?'

' I'll rather not talk about it,lets just go home' I said

'ok' she said as she stopped a cab.
The cab ride seemed longer than normal because I wasn't talking and just kept staring through the windows. I knew this made Caroline a little uncomfortable, so she asked again

' what happened back there, Jenny'

I replied this time, ' the buffalo of a guy thought I was an 'ashewo' and asked how much for the night'
Caroline just started laughing, she laughed until she had tears in her eyes and I joined in after sometime because it now to seemed funny to me. When she had composed herself she said;
'so na wetyn dey make you vex, na you find trouble na. See the length of the gown you wear, then the 'rocking' you finish am with. Wetyn you expect??

I just started laughing again and this time she joined me. We kept on talking until we got home.

It was 3:10 when I made it to my room. Caroline had dropped me off and gone to her own hostel. I used my keys and tiptoed into the room so I wouldn't wake Deedee. I switched on the light there she was sitting and waiting up for me.
'what the heck is wrong with this girl? What's with the overly protective attitude?' I said to myself

'Hi Deedee' I reluctancly said

'you are back' she said

'obviously' i said

'well,...' she said

'Deedee please I no get strength, just let me be, I'm not in the mood' I said

Jenny, I don't mean to be this way but let's just say I...

I interrupted her saying; Deedee, you used to be fun to hang out with. What happened to you?

' I found Jesus dear' Deedee said

I rolled my eyes and said ' so predictable, Goodnight Jurhh' I said


Few hours later, it was sunday morning. It was bright and sunny, a good day to act holy and go to church (atleast that's how I saw it). The truth is i needed to find solace in church because tomorrow is the 'dreaded' monday (the day I get to face Dr. Amadi who I haven't called since then). Deedee seemed delighted that she didn't have to drag me to church or give one of her speech.


We got to church on time, the priest was about saying the opening prayers. Deedee rushed to the front and some how squeezed her self in an obviously full pew while I just stayed at the back.
The sermon seemed to be directed to me. I was so sure the priest had a vision of me and my sinful ways and composed the sermon to spite me in the presence of the congregation. I kept turning in my chair and looking at my watch. Just so you know, I am not evil or anything. I was brought up in a Christian home but I just can't tell what happened. The service came to a close as the priest said the benedictions
' Go in peace brethren, may the sun not smite you by day nor the moon by night. Have a blessed week.

I got up to leave the church grinning from ear to ear just as I saw Dr. Amadi with his wife and children. They looked cute together. An idea came to me, ' why dnt I go say hi to him and his family'.

'Good morning sir, how was the service? Madam, you are so wearing that dress. Damn!, You look so good.

'thanks dear, do I know you?' she said

'no ma but your husband does, he is my lecturer in school' I said

'oh... hello, how is school?'

'fine ma, my name is Jennifer. I would have really loved to keep talking to you but I have to go now. See you next sunday.

'ok dear, take care'

As I walked away I could imagine how upset and probably perplexed Dr. Amadi would have been. I even added an extra sway to my hips as I walked because I knew he was still staring. I could hear his wife talking in the background about how she liked me. I thought to myself; 'who wouldn't like me, I even complimented her and her dress'. That was so fun and am sure he got my message. 'nobody scares Jenny'.
