ECHOES FROM THE DESERT.... Three short stories..... (1) Students were in room. D41 reading and preparing for rhe Bar Finals. One of the room-mates,Emeka was making nite call(MTN Xtracool) to his girlfriend and despite the plea by his other room-mates,he persisted ,saying nobOdy could tell him what to do.Suddenly,Chima Mbah,one of the craziest human beings I have met,got down form his bunk,walked up to Emeka and faking a ladys voice,said,Emeka,please leave my pant alone.Im not in the mood tonight.Nobody told Emeka to end the call. (2) A class-mate of mine had always claimed her name was MG.We all accepted the name in good faith until the day Mrs Asunugwo(aka Madam Fit and Proper) came to thr front of the hall and shouted,who is Mgbechikwere Nwachukwu? To my surprise,MG got up.Na there I know say guys bad.After then,we no grre caLl her MG again but her full name. (3y We were in church praying for our exams.All of a sudden,the phone of the guy leading the prayers rang and the ringtone was Shakira,Shakira(hips dont lie).See how my guy dey fight to off phone and at the same time lead prayers. (4) It was the occassion of our 2nd law school dinner.The dinner was billed for 4pm and we were all required to to be seated by 3:30pm.By 3pm,we were all lined in front of the dinner hall.By four,the Benchers(led by Bashir Wali (JSC) filed into the hall. As the faced us to bow,one of us Obaro was standing with the Benchers and bowed with them.How the guy managed to escape the wrath the of the Benchers remains a mystery. Recall with nostalgia the good days of Bagauda Campus.How can I forget my wonderful room-mates Usman Darazo(whom Fegas called Toad),Emeka,(who wouold go and stay in the toilet and be playing Sir Warrior and Oliver de Coque after eating Golden Morn or Cornflakes which always gave him running stomach as he was not used to it)Abdul(AG),Bashir Oladimeji,James Nyiekaa,Alhaji Yinka, Augustine Ibeka(Commander Hawk),Nweze Obiora(whom Darazo always accused of pinetunig),Chima Mbah(who remains the craziest till date.Check his FB wall if you doubt me). How can I forgetMadallah!,Yauwa!,Toh!(Otherwise known as the dying decleration at the swimming pools behind the library?)How can I forget my guy who used to drink Eva water(as amended),by filling his Eva nottle from the tap every morning(I no wan call name now because the guy na person papa now)?How can I forget the lady who told the DG that A scorpion was bitten by a girl? How can I forget Akwa Best(after eating there,they that shall be with you shall be few bicos na only you go sleep toilet)? How can I forget Collins,Auntie Hannah,Alhaji Gamzaki(and his cat)? I remember how we all used to burst into joy whenever we saw First Banks car (as it meant no travelling to Sabon Gari to go to the bank)? How can I forget the reading near the Bagauda Lake.?How can I forget Anthony Obi-Okoye Esq.(Ok ooooooooo!)?How can I foeget Taofeek Yusuf((SAN-SAN and. Judge-Judge )?How can I firget Dr Peter Ocheme(Many-a-man-never-know)?How can I forget Mr Bhadmus(Bill and Melinda Gates)?How can I forget Mt Olugbenga Orimogunje and his plenty scenarios in Evidence class)? How can I forget our mama,Mrs Beatrice Shuwa(who demystified criminal peocedure. I remain eternallygrateful to all my lecturers at NLS,Bagauda Looking back,these memories remain vivd and as I celebrate my sixth year at the Nigerian Bar,I remain eternally grateful to my Creator who has been my sustenance for all ages and I have nothing more but to ask for his continued guidance. I will not fail to remember those who have been called to eternal rest-Chief Abia Okon Abia,Nonye Ugo,Ode Ekhabafe and Lazarus Samuel.May their souls find eternal rest. For those of us remaining in the race,may the good Lord keep and protect us all.AMEN ECHOES FROM THE DESERT.... Three short stories..... (1) Students were in room.
