                                        EVERYDAY UNN EXPERIENCE

                    Waking up with noise is now a culture in my hostel. It's either from the preachers or the students struggling for water or the prayers from the mosque ,  all these has become part of being a being a UNN student. scarcity of water, lack  of provision of light, lack of healthy classrooms and environment. Studying in University of Nigeria Nsuuka should be a privilege but I don't know if I'm allowed to say otherwise
                 
                    On  30th August 2019, I woke up with a splitting headache and the sharp noise of students searching for where to fetch water. that was when I realised that I will soon join the queue because I had 10:00am class. I  climbed down from my bed, gentle enough not to wake my bed mate. I carried my keg "A yellow plastic gallon that is used in fetching water" and four buckets, two for my bed mate and two for me. I went straight to the down floor where the tap is located and found out that there was no water in the tap. We have six taps in my hostel, two are in use while the other two are no longer functional and the two tanks which is our saving grace when the taps stop. I went to the tanks to check if I could fetch water and that was when I discovered that there was no water in Nkurmah. I stood there in confusion, thinking of my next action. In the mist of my confusion I saw other students going to mosque that is across the road, I followed them and we came back disappointed.


                   However, some girls went to boys hostel, some to PG hostel, some to the fueling station opposite PG hostel and they all came back with disappointed faces, I decided to go back to my room to plug my phone  that was when I realised that there was a black out yesterday when it started raining. I sat quietly on my bed, thinking of how my day will be and the stress I have been through these past few days and how to tell my Dad that I need money for feeding after the last 5000 Naira he sent me last two weeks has finished. And then I was distracted by my roommate's voice saying " they are going outside the gate, behind Madonna to fetch water and some to new Caro through a short cut from Franco ref.

Love &Ego

        “Nne someone is calling you”said a voice behind me. When I turned, she said “that guy that is inside that restaurant over there” he said “you should come” I looked away and she held my hand to pled with me “please come and answer him nah” I looked at her with pity so I decided to follow her to meet the guy. When I got to the shop, she pointed at the guy and then I walked up to him to meet him. I greeted ! and he replied. The next thing he said was “Can I have your number ? He asked nonchalantly  i looked at the young fellow and his ego. And I said “No” then he said “okay no problem !
