Must Read: My Life On Campus - Season 1 - Episode 36

************
''POW''.. This was the sound that came running out of the double barrel gun. For a second or two, I paused, scanning my body if I could see any trace of blood gushing out, but there wasn't. I looked at Thompson, he was lying down on the ground, shaking like a person who had just fallen under the spell of epilepsy. ''ahh! Hope they haven't shot Thompson'' I prayed silently. I just couldn't get up from where I was staying, because I was way too scared for my life. I could see the 3 girls, including the orobo babe crying like new born babies that had just been pulled out from their mummies ovary.



Armed Robber1: why you shoot na. Why you dey waste groundnut anyhow ?
Groundnut was actually referred to has bullet, but in this context. It seems they brought with them just a few rounds of groundnuts, I mean bullet.

Armed robber2: I just wan scare the guy small na. The guy no be Jew. I no know am na. Make I waste am?

Armed robber3: afa this operation suppose be smooth operation. No alarm, but see wetin you don cause. I just hope say nobody hear the gunshot.

At that moment, I looked up at hostel passage ceiling and I could see a big hole dug there made by the pump action gun. But why Thompson con dey shake like person wey get epilepsy na?. I wondered. I could see urine coming out of his trousers. I wanted to burst out laughing but I just had to compose myself, else a real bullet might be inserted into my brain this time around.

Armed robber 2: afa, bring that cutlass (stressing his right hand at the 3rd armed robber)

wetin they wan do again na. I tot. ''una never tire''. Before I could say jack Robinson, the 2nd armed robber was beating Thompson with the back of his cutlass. ''confess, confess, confess'' this were the words coming out of his mouth. Well, I knew Thompson was a Jew, but I just couldn't say anything. Infact, I was busy hiding my Samsung galaxy while the drilling activity was going on.

Thompson: pls, abeg, I no be confra guy. Abeg abeg abeg (he was busy begging for his life)

Armed robber1: leave am, we no get time to waste. Hey you (pointing to a lanky girl with his pistol) come over here. (she came) kiss my lips. (she didn't hesitate) good girl.
Lanky girl: thank you sir.
Armed robber1: give me your phone, we no get time, sharp sharp
the lanky girl brought out a Nokia torch light phone, bandaged with robber band, She gave him the phone.
Armed robber1: you dey madddddddddddddd, your father, your papa, papa, papa.
He slapped the girl's face. She fell ''automatically'' to the ground. He immediately threw the phone to wall, it scattered into pieces.
Armed robber2: this girl dey craze o. Your mates dey use iphone you dey use bandaged torch light phone. Your father.
Armed robber1: una two (pointing at the other two girls) where your rooms dey?
They both showed them their rooms, in no time, they brought out 2 laptops and about 3 mobile phones. These guys were made that night.
Armed robber3: you stand up. (pointing to me)
''choi, I don die o'' i said inwardly ''where your room dey?'', he asked aggressively. ''oga I no dey stay here o abeg'' i pleaded.
Armed robber1: leave am. (beckoning the other guy to stop with his suppose treatment to hurt me) wey your phone?
Me: I no bring am, he dey house, I dey charge am.( i lied)
Armed robber1: if you lie I go kill you. Afa help me search am thoroughly.
They searched me thoroughly and found nothing on me except 400 naira. My suppose transport fare back home.
Armed robber1: you dey mad why no con bring your phone na?...
Me: abeg no vex.
Armed robber2: take this 200 naira. Make una manage am. (he signalled his friends) make we dey move.

They ran through the back door passage, and jumped the fence. Off they went. I stood up from the floor where I was, I went to meet the girls. I began to pet them. They were crying like babies. Lol. I felt pity for them. Well, I brought my phone out from were I hid it and placed it inside my pocket without saying a word.
''where's Thompson'' I began to wonder. I never see am o. ''please have you seen
Thompson'' I asked the orobo babe, Her eyes had swollen from over crying. ''No I haven't'' she replied.
Me: Thompson Thompson (shouting out loud)
''abi, them don kidnap Thompson follow body'' I wondered.
Thompson: I dey here.


Lol.. Thompson was busy hiding under a table.
