Yesterday; Wednesday was full of activity for me. It started
with the normal preparation of breakfast of rice and stew for about forty one
people. I even finished on time but laziness did not permit me to leave for
CDS. Like he sat me down, that is Laziness and whispered reasons why I should
not go, they were not valid but I love him so much like I just had to agree
with him, especially as I have been ignoring him for too long.
Gisted with that
wicked Jennifer girl, we had a long talk and played a round in the Ludo
tournament. Then Seun (lodge fellow) came with his big head and tried to
challenge us, we sent him back to his village.
Played around as usual and then started a very nice movie Effie Gray before I finally cajoled
Joseph Cathedral to follow me to Challenge to fix my phone he said he wasn’t
ready so I just dallied with my movie.
Then Papa that is the president of the
fellowship asked me to go and pay money into someone’s account. By 12:55 I rose from my slumber and trudged
to a bike and went to Diamond bank under five minutes I was back. Tried to read
to no avail, and then continued my movie. Around two Mr. Cathedral called me to
meet him at UBA at Challenge, but there are two UBAs at Challenge, even after I
asked for a great description which he kinda gave, I still went to the wrong
one. After five minutes of waiting I had to find my way back to the correct UBA
upon getting there we entered Computer village in Ilorin, not so bad for a mini
CV.
The guy that even fixed my phone is a corper too. But I think
he cheated me, because Koch also had to fix his charging port but he got there
earlier than we did and the guy he gave his phone to fix charged him cheaper
than he did us. Well well as long as my phone is fine I really don’t care.
After that I headed home I was about to board a bike when I
saw a guy from my school; Redeemer’s
University. I can’t remember his name but
I know he was their departmental president. Said my hellos and headed home. I
branched at Shoprite saw Hotstuff with two other guys from the lodge said my hellos
again and moved on. The plan was to just withdraw and get out but then I saw
Uju and Peter and they wanted to get Ice cream for themselves to celebrate
Uju’s birthday, well I couldn’t pass this opportunity up, so I begged for ice
cream and got one. Left to withdraw and that nonsense Jennifer girl ( I love
her though) requested for Chicken and Chips (allawee is working) so I went back
in and bought that. Then we all sat somewhere that is Peter, Uju and I and had
our snacks. Then Ada joined us. That is when I heard something scary.
Apparently the LI was describing me, he had noticed I didn’t come for Zonal
meeting and then he mentioned that I wear a certain jewelry that he should not
have been able to notice. This is just proof that
people are always watching.
Hot stuff and the two guys he was with joined us and we all
left for the lodge. I left with Hot stuff’s hat and I am protecting it like it
is my baby.
The outgoing Batch A boys and girls had a football match,
after watching it for a while which was ridiculously humorous (sorry if the
grammar is too much I get carried away sometimes). I went to have my bath. So I
stepped out decked in black on black even up to the hat on my head.
Now I this is where I had an almighty accident.
While I walked back to the game, I saw Michael we call him
Lehi or Mazi Mango (his mango plucking skills is the best I have ever seen) so
while I walked past him, he threw a mango at four mangos up in tree and they
all fell down. I have never seen that in my entire life, so I started yelling
his praise name which is Mazi Mango, so he threw one at me for me to catch and
eat but because I am terrible at anything that may be close to a sport the
mango hit me straight in the eye. I have to say that the first thing I felt was
fear not pain. I was wondering if this damages my already damaged eye, what
will I na use; binoculars? I sank to my knees and started rocking back and
forth I just wanted someone to hug me. Then Uju came and I just hugged her and
it was almost better. Then I stood up and my eye was blurry.
I managed to do Papa’s slide then went to Shoprite. Then I
saw this fineeeeeee boy. Chai!!! Bobo toh fine! Ewoo!!! I just can’t
explain. Well well. Went to ask Pharmacy
boyfriend to examine the eye; I was assured that I would be fine.
Got back to the lodge, anchored the Valedictory speeches for
that night. It was the last one for this set. I am really grateful for that.
Then I had a meeting with the ACF hangout crew and like usual
it was full of laughs. The lodge is the best thing that happened to me so far during
this service year.
