While I was still in the university, I have these neighbor of mine Esther and Pamela, two sweet souls I met in my 300 Level to my final year. They always call me chef because i always cook mostly Everytime in my room. Esther called from afar "chef" as she returns back from lectures. I was sitting at my door post then I smilled and answered "we haven't delivered Maggie and meat so I didn't cook" they both of burst into laughter, Pamela from the room replied "Esther.. don't mind her ohh she refused to cook, nothing like Maggi has not been delivered, she want make hungry kill us for this school" as the laughter continue. Esther got to my door post and said " Pamela no be for your presence I give chef money make she take prepare dinner for us?" Pamela came out of the room and said she has used the money to to buy powder, I saw her buying powder from aboki" we all laugh hard. "Enhenn that boy I was telling you about the other day" Esther said, me trying to recall the gossip about the boy, which boy sef is that?

The three of us were broke, what we did was everyone hustle your breakfast and dinner then launch we cook joint food. This faithful day myself and Esther were having running stomach and it became much like a competition going to the rest room, i took drugs but it still did not stop. From the rest room i was walking to the direction of my room , Esther while washing her dirty clothes said to me " madam are you still stooling", she smiled, and said " person wew never chop de go toilet "
