My college struggle as an African-Nigerian

√ Chapter16 √

Everytime you wake it's another story to tell; it can either be an Interesting one or a boring one;

in life you will question everything that will be the point where you are either thinking or losing your mind ;

probably losing your mind because your country /people won't treat everyone with equal rights'

our ancestors who claims Nigeria would change in the 9th century but i don't think it has changed that much .

we have been enslaved ,then we got our independent in 1960 ,then the democracy 'wow' hmmmm each year we celebrate the independent of our nation 'Nigeria' but to me its seems nothing had really changed .

this took me back to October 27th 2020 that was after the pandemic (covid) era i remembered vividly when the army barracks closed to High Camp royal Academy was attacked by the herdsmen, gunshots all over the place , high Camp royal Academy was located in the residential area;

that period was so terrifying for me i was shaking ,

crying and yelling at the same time i had a video call with Erica and Rahila ,

that was my worst moment living in Abuja ,the pain the emotional torture felt really bad .

maybe things will change soon just like our ancestors kept telling us .

"Good morning Adaolisa miss calls from R~y"

says my little brother 'Jaydarh' while whinking at me and handing over my phone to me ,gosh I wondered who thought him how to whink .

'yes' R~y wait 'what'!!!!! what does Jaydarh meant by that Whink he just gave me ,gosh my little kido is Sneaking around.

'R~y' was the caller ID and it was Roy , today is Saturday aren't he suppose to be cleaning or something ,and he is calling me this early

"phew"

thank God it wasn't mom that saw the calls .

"Adaolisa"!!!!!!!!!

"maaaaaa"

"what are you still doing , today is cleaning day and you are still in bed"

says my mom while yelling at the top of her voice.

I hate Saturdays , its all work and work and that part where you have to take pap and akara (bean cake).

After breakfast which was the usual Saturday meal in every Nigeria home ' pap and akara

I went back into my room to do a little touch up which was cleaning and organizing my woredrobe which looks like the clothes in there hasn't been used by anyone for a very long time,

it's Indeed a typical girls room ,it was scattered 'chineke' I always fold my clothes neatly but as soon as am about going out the woredrobe becomes something else completely, that's one of the main reasons I don't go out often;

because if am not looking for what to wear I will definitely say I don't have clothes.

This took me back to last few months the incendent that happens between i and my mom .

"Adaolisa we are going out this evening oo , just wanted to take you and your younger ones to ShopRite then magic land" says my mom while banging my room door to close

'magic land'(which was know as wonder land before )

"but mummy I have nothing to wear out day"

I know this would make my mom angry and she will call me ungrateful .

"what did you just say Adaolisa"?

no respond from me before you know it my mom was in my room again,

this made me laugh out loud when she began to pull out my clothes from the hangers in my room.

"so all this aren't clothes ahbi I no blame you"

ahhh my mom was acting up again Sooner she combined what I will wear for our outing .

"You can wear this two they look good,

but it's not yet time and you are already looking for what to wear perhaps you even have alot.

"mom !!!! but is brother Frank coming over too"

I asked looking curious not knowing my mom already left my room ,

I really do miss my elder brother , but hmmm he is now a man ,

he has his own apartment i was still thinking when my mom starts to yell saying .

"Bianca...... Adaolisa you haven't done your laundry ahhhh"

gosh I didn't respond because I was weak after eating that akara and pap .

hmmmm at least let me go and relax before I will break down because of Waec, Neco and Jamb .
