Must Read: How 3 Girls Fought Over 1 Guy (A Tale)

10 pm I was going back to my hostel, I was suddenly hungry, I was thinking of what to eat when I remembered that I have no money to buy food, no problem , I’ll just go to bed, by tommorow, I’ll be in my father’s house, I’ll eat at home.

Nepa has not brought light , so I decided to chill outside, mosquitoes will disturb you, but not much, since there are lots of people outside, they will come, but once they see that you have agidi and wunt allow them to bite, or they feel your blood is not fresh, they just move on. It’s better than being in the room anyway, with 11 other boys and the fan that not working. Some of my roomates have the biggest nose on campus, the amount of oxygen they consume is enough to affect the ozone layer, you can hear how their nose is guzzling oxygen if you wake up during the night, its as if they have and industrial plant inside them. I was always thinking that one night I’ll wake up struggling to breathe cus they have consumed all the oxygen in the room.

I was sitting outside when I saw mercy among some girls, I called her and she came to sit beside me
mercy: ” what happened?”
me:” what happened how?”
mercy:” what happened between you and toke”
me:” nothing happened between us”( I thought she was trying to know if we had s*x)
mercy: ” I came back to the room , I did not see you, I asked where you are from toke and she snapped at me, well…., I gave it to your girlfriend back o, I dnt have Time for nonsense.

I did not do anything to her na, why should she be shouting at me, but as I see you here now, I figured that the problem is you ”
I realised later that they really shouted at each other, according to one of their roomate, she said that there fight was incoherent , neither knew why the other was angry and reason for the fight, they were just angry and then yelled at each other
During our discussion, mercy told me about how toke was into me real bad, that I should not disappoint her(mercy), well I want to get into her real bad too, litterarily!. We discussed toke for a while and then she talked about why she too was angry, she believed that David went to meet uzoma, she has gone to his room several times and she did not meet him their, she had hanged outside our hostel for hours, yet no sign of him. She was furious, knowing that her dad’s driver is coming to pick her up tomorrow morning and she wunt be back until Monday.


We joked a little about her not seeing her her boyfriend for days and she reminded me of what I said earlier about absence making the heart grow fonder.


After a while she said she had wanted to buy chicken barbecue but the guy was just doing a new batch, that’s why she was still outside, she also hoped to still see David. I escorted her to the guy who makes the barbecue, the guy said chicken has finished , its only turkey that’s remaining. mercy raved and cursed for like five minutes , informing the guy that she had booked earlier, why should he not have preserved her own.
me: ” cool down, there nothing you can do again, the guy done sell am. You should have known this people by now, you did not pay down, you expect them to preserve something for you, lai lai”
mercy:” but he knows me” (facing the barbecue guy)” abi you no know me”
barbecue guy: ” aunty mercy, I know you na, a beg no veX for me”
With the guy mentioning mercy’s name, I realised she is regular customer, I made a silent prayer that toke should not be a regular customer too o, I dnt know which is more expensive, ice cream or chicken barbecue, and I don’t think I want to know sef!


After much pleading mercy accepted to buy the turkey barbecue, “what is the hullabaloo sef”, I thought, “what’s the difference between chicken and Turkey,” all where the same to me.(readers are they different?)
mercy: “anti, will you eat”
me: ” no, I’m trying to be a vegetarian”
mercy: (looking at me first with neck and head bent to the side, then facing the barbecue guy)” a beg give us two jare, he is just joking, anti is rejecting turkey”(laughing)” hell will freeze over that day”
me:” you are doing as if you know me again, you dnt know me o”
mercy : (she kept on laughing) ” nobody knows you anti, but I know that the day you reject turkey, or food for matter, that’s the day the world will end”
We were in that jolly mood when we bought the turkey, we were even eating it as I escorted mercy to her hostel, all of a sudden she got serious, she told me she wanted to discourse something with me and made me promise not to tell anyone.
she said” anti, I’m afraid David is now a cult boy!”
