Man In Black - Season 1 - Episode 29

Students from all levels and classes mingled and chatted with each other in the cafeteria. It was lunch hour, and most, if not all, were more than happy to get away from practicing with guns all day.

Segun and Chuks were seated at a table for four, chatting away while trying to eat lunch. Segun’s eyes were scanning the crowd at the counter, looking for Belinda. Chuks noticed him playing around with his food absent-mindedly.

“So you still dey find that girl, and e no even be like sey you go follow am talk if you see am.”

“I’ve told you so many times, Chuks, this is my business, okay, none of yours. If I choose to stare at her for the rest of my stay here, then so be it.”

“O-boy, shey na because I dey follow you play you come dey vex? Take am easy now.”
“Even you, do you mean that of all these girls walking about, no one catches your fancy?”

Chuks shrugged. “Na because I know wetin I come here come for; to learn, no be to follow woman.”

“You’re making crushing on a girl sound like a crime.”
Chuks arched an eyebrow.
“So that one mean sey I must like one girl for here? Hey, hey, hey! See am there,” he said, jerking his head in the direction of the food counter. Segun looked up sharply to see the empty counter, as all the patrons had been served and had gone to their seats. He was about to take out his anger on Chuks for fooling him when they heard a voice.
“Hey guys, any room for one more at your table?”


They turned up their heads to see Instructor Okolo, smiling down at them. Segun answered promptly, gesturing to one of the two unoccupied seats at the table.

“Oh, sure. Please do.”
She sat down and placed her tray on the table, then looked at them.


“So, how’s your field training?”
Chuks spoke up.

“First of all, that field instructor is too harsh. I’ll never forget our training with that AK-74. Shegs, don’t you remember, almost none of us completed those two thirty-metre bulls-eye shots.”
