    “How My Village People Almost Got Me on My First Day at UNILAG”

     

    So this happened during my first week at UNILAG. I was fresh, excited, and trying to form “city boy” because I didn’t want anyone to know I was from a small town near Akwa Ibom (don’t judge me 😭).

     

    I wore my “best drip”—white sneakers, clean shirt, and I even sprayed my brother’s perfume that smells like success and broken promises.

     

    First mistake? I didn’t know the campus was basically a mini continent. I confidently asked a girl for directions to my department. She smiled and said, “Just go straight, turn left at the mango tree, enter the first right, then walk past the zebra.” I said thank you. But in my mind I was like “Which kind of Jumanji is this?”

     

    Long story short—I got lost. Badly.

     

    I walked for 45 minutes. I was sweating like a goat that just got caught eating yam. I asked another guy for help. He said, “Omo, na opposite direction you dey go o.” My white sneakers were no longer white. My shirt looked like I fought with dust. Even the perfume had given up on me.

     

    By the time I finally got to my department, the lecturer looked at me and said:

    “Are you just coming? You’re late.”

    I wanted to say, “Na village people oh, sir.” But I just said, “I’m sorry, sir” and sat down like a wet biscuit.

     

    🤣 Moral of the story:

     

    Don’t form when you don’t know your way.

     

    Always ask two people for directions, not one.

     

    And please, carry extra T-shirt on your first day at UNILAG 😭
