So the other day in school, few minutes before a test I went to my class to
secure a better seat before my test (these things are important).
I entered class and discovered that most Computer
Engineering students were in my class, so the class was unnecessarily busy. I cat
walked in front to look for the best path to my seat, I didn't find. I
walked again to the back, I didn't still
find a way to pass. Okay, let me say the truth, I was really feeling myself
that day, I wore this fine shirt that my mum got for me and I felt what the
hell, let me just show myself. What is the worst that would have happened? I would
have gotten compliments and I would have said thank you and I will plaster a
stupid smile on my face, abi? Well I got the compliments and the stares but
they were for the wrong reasons.
Few minutes after and all the Computer Engineering students
have left the class and our invigilator comes to tell us to settle down, then
he comes again to say, “oya, remove all your books and any item that can
implicate you”. In my mind all I can think of is Ifeoma, oya stand up again and
show yourself.
So I walk to the
front of the class to drop my bag and when coming back I am fiddling with my
belt buckle and Anne says, “Nwawe, what happened to your trouser?”. Immediately
she said it I quickly sat down on her seat and discovered that my zip was
down. After I have finished walking up and down. Just like that N10 has been
taken away from my bride price, its not like it was even that expensive before.
In my village bride price is N50, if you price well it can reduce sef.
What is the Moral of this story?
The next time you see people staring at you: especially
people who see you every day, it’s not
because you are too fine o!!!! Check your
buttons or zip ( you are welcome). Now at least I have saved you from
loosing a great chunk of your bride price. Let me go and think of several ways
to redeem my image.
Just thinking out loud, Can we all agree that this weather
is annoying ? I know its good for making babies but that is just it abi? My
shoes are suffering for it o!!!
Have you heard Onyeka Onwenu and King Sunny Ade’s “WAIT FOR
ME”? Good Stuff. It’s a major konji turn-off.
Make sure you enjoy your weekend..
Xoxo
