As a student of the University of Lagos (Unilag), I get to see stuffs unfold by the minute, some good, some bad, some fun, some ugly. I stay in the reputable Moremi Hostel (if you know what i mean), and believe you me quite a number of events have occurred in this great hostel worthy of being "blogged about". This post will be in series, but I will take them one at a time as they happened...oh and be sure you will get the latest news about Unilag and Moremi Hall from me and no one else.
So lets start with SNAKE IN THE ROOM
My room no. is E.... (do you really think i was gonna write the number), we have or if I should say breed a number of rodents in the room, so it wasn't new to hear weird noise from any angle of the room, we had to get use to the idea that this rodents are here to stay and not making any move to vacate the room for humans, maybe its because of the bushes close to the hostel (I think).
After the compulsory two weeks break given to us (all student of Unilag) by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for wanting to change a brand name (The University of Lagos) to a fallacy (Moshood Abiola University, Lagos), me and my roomies (roommate) moved back into the hostel (Moremi hall) on sunday, started cleaning and clearing the room, the usual sound we hear popped up again and we laughed over it telling ourselves that is a welcome back from the rodents (not knowing we had an additional visitor), saying to us they (rodents) are back to feed on our foodstuffs, laughing for minutes then cleaning continued till the wee hours of the day, of which by that time we were exhausted, so cooking (we don't use the word cooking when we see a food on the fire, we say WHO IS BURNING, its just our own room slang) was not an option on the list anymore, we all then decided to make risky burger (that one good stuff *licking lips*, if you are in Unilag or ever been then you know what am talking about) which all of us ate for the night and went to bed.
Fast forward to five days later, rommies were all in the room, chatting about stuffs we had to go through at home because one man woke up one morning and decided to change the name of a great institution instead of tackling issues in the country, when all of a sudden 'Tunde said she saw something shining with long tail crawl by to the next bunk. Every one ran out screaming, then came Wonder Woman (Jessiekonko), I kept telling everyone who cared to listen that a reptile and I cant sleep in the same room, the reptile had to vacate the room for me.
Some hours later we decided that we had to check around, kill this rodent before they finish our remaining food stuff for third semester (lol), upon the search we came to the conclusion that the most place for a rodent to hide would be under the bunks and inside the lockers, so we started with the bunks, Dupe (another rommie) opened a bag under her bunk wanting to take something inside and said she saw a greenish thing, her bunkie Joy, insisted that the bag be opened so we know the content, so another rommie Fola suggested that if the bag is to be opened then it should be taken outside so the rodent can just go away, on taking the bag out, a greenish sleek, Titus like shining snake came out of the bag and crawled away *sigh of relief and a big thanks you Lord*.
That night we all didn't sleep in the room, running to the porters lodge and complaining, the whole hostel was in shock about the SNAKE IN THE ROOM, me and all my roomies slept in the common room and saying words of prayer to God for saving us for from a snake attack, the next morning men from the Health Center were called by the Hall authority and they fumigated the room, changed our window nets, fixed in every blocking and security needed only then all my rommies breath a sign of relief.
And I went on and on hailing the university of first choice and nation's pride on twitter without holding back.
