Must Read: My Life On Campus - Season 1 - Episode 15

The semester was almost over. Lecturers had stopped teaching, There was intense and rigorous ''Jacking'' as students filled the halls ,day and night reading for the first semester examination. Prayer warriors weren't left out, while reading one could hear their loud voices. They spoke in unknown tongues. Some repeatedly saying

''Baba, This first semester exam I must pass, any evil fashioned against me shall not prosper''

''Jehovah, you raise the dead, please come and raise my scores''

''O God, sit beside me and write my exams for me''

''Fire, Fire Fire Fire, Holy Ghost Fire''... All these was followed with unknown tongues.

I just couldn't focus with all these distractions. (It's good to pray but disturbing your neighbours is just uncalled for). The course I was studying wasn't just penetrating into my brain. I therefore decided to go home.

On getting home, I went straight to my bed. I checked the time, it was about 5:30pm in the evening, I decided to read for 2hrs before eating and going to sleep. I turned on my home theater, and I inserted Burna boy's album ''LIFE'', putting ''Like to party'' on repeat. I had cultivated the habit of reading and listening to music.

I was concentrating intensely on my book, when I heard a big bang on my door.

Me: Who be that?

Emafidon: Na me Emafidon. Open.

Me: wetin you dey find, why you dey bang my door like that na? (I opened the door, looking furious)

Emafidon: see guy, I don tell everybody for this lodge, I dey find my air max, whoever took it should use his or her hand to bring it back.

Me: Guy, so is that why you have to hit my door anyhow?

Emafidon: Temisan, No vex me o. Right now my eyes dey red, I fit spoil things.

Me: come inside my room.

He entered, I showed him all my shoes. Ranging from Air Jordan, Air Max, mocasin DocSide, Nike and Timberland. He was astonished.

Me: you don see my shoes abi. So, if you dey reason me, just comot mind. Shoes no be my problem.

Emafidon: I don go tell Govo about the matter.

''Govo'', is a title giving to the leader of the lodge or hostel. He is actually meant to take care of the hostel unbehalf of the real owner of the house.

Me: okay, you don tell Govo abi ( I continued), wetin him con talk?

Emafidon: Govo said that, he will organise a meeting calling all the tenants of the lodge.

Me: don't worry you go see your shoe*

emafidon had just ruined my evening reading, I was suppose to have a paper the next two days later. My junior brother TY eventually came in with his friends. I give them detailed description of the scenario that had occurred not quiet long, and what might unfold that evening.

The 10 tenants were all assembled outside due to the instructions of the Govo. It was about 10:00pm in the evening. The Govo addressed the issue of theft in the hostel and need for this act to stop.

Govo: I'm really disappointed, who ever took that shoes,....... wetin be the name of the shoe again?

Emafidon: na Air Max.

Me: 2k air max (I whispered to my bro, He smiled)

Govo: who ever took that Air Max (He continued) should bring it out, else something terrible will happen. We will all swear.

Tenant1: Make we swear sharp sharp, I get exam tomorrow.

Emafidon: Sharrap, Govo dey talk

Tenant1: are you okay?

Emafidon: you don dey craze.

Govo: if you guys want to continue like this, its best, I go into my room and sleep. I also have exam next tomorrow.

Emafidon: I just want make my shoe fall out.

Me: Guy relax. Your shoe go show*

Govo: I give that person the grace of today, else something bad will happen.
