Spending My Last Card.

4 hours ago

So, I just remembered one of my many experiences in campus. It was a time that really showed me what we can call, "shege," in such periods in my school, we do refer to it as "Igbeyin poly," yea, that's what we call it. It means the students are at a stage where there's no money and food. Just looking at each other's eyes and looking for a way to do "gbenusi" or "atenu" somewhere.

And that period isn't an easy one for me, it wasn't my first time experiencing it though. But something happened in one of those times. I have been trying to live my life normally, since I don't have a roommate, no one knows how I'm living my life. Sometimes it's just water throughout the whole day, at times garri shows and I thank God for it.

So, I just moved into this new place and as the friendly type that I am, I got ckose to my neighbors fast. One day, less than a month after I moved in, everyone was complaining and all, they were like, I didn't even understand what is going on, and me I was like, this people don't even know anything. They all thought I was a new student not knowing I was a finalist at that time already, I never act like it though, I just decided to change where I was living.

While everyone was complaining and all, I was just there looking. Then I called one of those girls that I heard she has foodstuffs but don't have gas, I sent her 2k so she could fill it and at least eat. I was having 3k remaining with me, one of those girls also said she's going to visit her bf, so I sent her the remaining 3k with me so she could help me get a plate of food along with her when coming.

All of them just want quiet immediately, like they were shocked. They didn't believe I don't have money with me. They were like, at least fill your gas, or buy foodstuffs or do this or do that, but me.. I'm like what exactly can I get with 3k? Gas or foodstuffs... I don't get.

That was when I jus had to tell them in very simple words since I can't be explaining myself to people. I told them that's the kind of person that I am. That's how I always spend my last card, I will always use it to get myself something good and nice to eat. Even if hunger will "kpai" me, I should at least make sure my last food was something good.
