Ha! Where do I start from? Felix okigbe is this nice,tall,dark and handsome dude that every girl wanted in my "Hostel". He was very nice and was very well to do, in fact Felix okigbe had one of the nicest rooms in the hostel if not the best.
On entering Felix's room,one will have to admire the beauty within. The walls were colourfully painted with art works that would put many interior decorators to shame, the paintings hanging on the walls was a beauty to behold, the rug under lay was so thick and rich that it could be compared with a mini foam, the rug was neat and new and when it comes to gadgets!! Oh my. Felix had this big plasma hanging on his wall with a wicked sound system and woofers and whenever we wanted to throw a party we never looked too far for a DJ. His Ac was even top notch and generally Felix lived a good life and the ladies never ceased from his room! There was a different girl for every night.
Felix lived a good life in school and we never doubted that his parents were well to do and to be sincere, everybody loved Felix okigbe including yours truly.
On that monday morning, I dressed hurriedly as usual and left my room mate who was still sleeping loudly like a dead wood in the room and tried to meet up with my 1pm class! I stepped outside and winced as the fierce sun hit my face, I was about turning back to get an umbrella when a woman dressed shabbily came up to me, Her son walked beside her with a huge sack bag on his head, probably loaded with garri and some other foodstuffs, the woman herself clutched a bunch of plantain with a small bag on her head. "My pikin,good afternoon," she said and I quickly replied "good afternoon ma" the boy greeted me too and I replied, I realised they could be indigenes and it was normal for the farmers amongst them to want to sell their produce to students who usually bought them at high rates. "My pikin abeg I dey look for FE-LIX room" she said again and I smiled. Felix has done it again, maybe these were his customers and he had ordered for these things, "oboy Felix is a big spender o" I said to myself as I took in the bags, "madam follow me" I said to them as I led them to Felix's room. When I got there I knocked and a scantily dressed girl came to open the door, I knew her, she was in bussiness administration 300level and she waved at me while I told her that these people were looking for Felix. She went inside and Felix came out wearing his shorts. "Tiffany, wetin happen na?" He said groggily and then he saw the woman and her son and his expression changed. "Mama!" He shouted, "james!" He shouted again
"Wetin una dey do here?"
I stood there in shock as I watched, this was Felix's mother? I quickly went to my room to get my umbrella but before I could find it I heard the woman shouting and crying.
We ran out to see what was happening and before you knew it the hallway was crowded. I stretched my neck to see the woman holding Felix's short.
"Felix you don kill me o, so na this kind life you they live for school oooo, hei! I go dey farm from morning till night,I go harvest,I go fry garri,carry am go market, na so I dey work like jacky so that you go fit go school, so na wetin u dey do be this?"
His mother wept again and when her eyes rested on the girl that had been with felix, she threw herself on the girl, beating her and tearing at her hair, the girl ran out like a mad dog and I managed to hold my laugh.
"Felix?? Felix?? Your brother comot from school because of you, Felix see my hand!" She said again amidst tears as she showed us the onlookers her hands, they were the worst hands I have ever seen. Blisters and scars and they were so black. I felt for the woman.
She ceased crying for a minute and walked towards the crowd, she went to Lara and asked "my pikin how much be the highest school fees abeg?" Lara looked uneasy as she tried to think, "apart from medicine, the normal school fees na 15 thousand a year because this school na federal school" when the woman heard this, she started rolling on the floor, our care taker's wife rushed towards her to comfort her but she wailed more. The other son just cried along with his mother.
"Felix o, I don die o, felix dey collect me 30 thousand every 3months o, see your room felix, you don forget how we dey sleep for house? Felix I no get wetin to tell you but you no be better pikin" the woman said as she stood up and started walking out, she called to the other son who followed her without looking at his brother! Felix sat there in remorse and perhaps shame as he watched his family leave. The woman cried till she left out view, occasionaly wiping her face with the edge of her wrapper.
FELIX parked out of the hostel a short while later, I guess he couldn't bear the shame and I learnt a lesson from that incident. All that really glitters is not GOLD.

DIARY OF A UNIVERSITY STUDENT(extras:WHIZKID ONLINE, MR IBU IN REAL LIFE.)
I was bored as usual that night and I decided to log into one of those dry chat sites,my bbm contact list had started boring me and sandra as usual had advised me to log on to "BD". "Tiffany no dey dull me, sign up on BD and catch real guys, see I met Tope there na! Tope no fine? U never see him jeep?" Sandra said in her high pitched voice, I pondered on what she had said, Tope was really a catch and if I had a dude like that I would really stop jumping around.
I downloaded the application and signed up right away. I created my profile, using a very sweet user name, I put up my sexiest pictures and my bio and before I was even done, I had 20 messages already. Oh yeah!! That's the spirit. "Sandra I don get 20 messages o" I called out to my room mate who was busy pinging like a mad woman "chineke! Nna you hot o! Give me five" she said and we Hi-fived in delight. "But babe, most of those guys are not worth your time o, Nna, no be everybody you go reply. Screen dem out, block the wor wor ones sharp sharp, any one wey no sabi speak english, babe u know what to do" she told me as she began pinging again. " I smiled and started checking the pictures, blocking the horrible looking ones as fast as I could. "But babe o, u know say sometimes ba, na ugly guys dey get money pass" I said as I continued working. Sandra jumped up " no talk that kind yeye thing again abeg, which wor wor guys dey get money? When guy get money ehn, he go fine, money dey make person fine na, if person rich still wor wor, oboy that person na animal, na suicide go fit am" I laughed as I heard that and fell from my bed and rolled on the floor dramatically. This my sandra ehn, na character. When I finally finished laughing, I continued again, I scrolled down and got to a particular message I held my laughter
" babe o abeg listen to this message , Dear missed sexy Tiffany, I go thru ur profile n I like ur sexy bress and your fine face rily express me, baby pls be my own! Can we chart? "
Sandra laughed hard as I continued talking,
"Babe the worst thing be say the guy wor wor reach teeth, biko check out this picture"
Sandra checked the picture and made a sick face.
"You say make I block wor wor guys and never reply the ones wey no sabi speak english, Nna wetin I go do this one wey do the two na?" I said laughing and sandra shouted " Nna report am o! Make they suspend him account biko. He is a nuisance"
I laughed hard as I clutched my tummy, this sandra na real mad woman!
Yes! Before I slept that night, I managed to give out my pin to this cool dude! He told me he used to model and his Abs were killing. Most pictures of him were with celebrities and with amazing cars. When I showed my mentor his profile, she commanded me to hold him tight. Chai! I couldn't sleep well that night, I just wanted to start chatting with him right away.
The next morning he pinged me! I replied and we got to know each other better! I sent him my pictures and instead of him to reply he just sent me a voice note. His voice was amazing and he spoke well, he flattered me on and on about my looks and how he couldn't wait to see me. I replied the voice note and that morning, I almost missed my 9am class o. See me see gbege o. Kai! Infatuation na bastard.
When I came back from class,I gave him my number and he called me fro almost an hour, Nna! Money is talking. I even gave sandra the phone to talk to him and as a sharp ibo girl, she no waste time
" so harry you know how school is o, we are so bored and all, when will you come and take us out?"
Sandra said all these making weird faces at me and I just put my hand across my mouth and laughed. When she dropped the call, she happily told me Harry had promised to take us out this weekend.
The weekend came slowly like a slug and I hated it. Harry and I talked all the time till he grew on my skin. Finally! Saturday evening came and I wore my best gown! Sexy as hell, I braided my weaves and wore a pepper hot lipstick! Boys must die today! Sandra dressed up and like Harry had instructed us, we took a direct cab to the address he gave.
" Ha! Wetin be this?" Sandra asked me as I looked on in awe.
" Wait o driver! Shey na here be the "Angels court?" The driver nodded as he pulled up beside a dirty mama put.
"Tiffany you have killed me o" sandra wailed. " I taught you well o, but you no listen, out of all the better people wey dey for "BD" na this church rat u see carry o! I thought as much, rich guys no dey get fine voice o" sandra said as she wailed further, I came down and waited for the stupid Harry to come and pay for the cab fare! I scanned the area for a tall,well muscled handsome guy but saw none! I put my hands on my head, I have been played.
A fat guy started walking towards us, his pot belly was very chronic and he looked so un kept. His beards was just sick and I had an urge to bring out a scissors and just cut it off. He was smiling at us and I prayed to God to not allow this dude be Harry and my worst fear was confirmed when he called me name and said "Harry here!" I almost fainted! To make matters worst he haggled and haggled with the cab driver for almost an hour till he finally brought out his dirty wallet and payed. Trust sandra na, she came down and faced him " Harry so na you be this? Wey all the muscles wey you gather for all your pix on BD ??" Harry looked flustered then put his hands on his stomach " that was years ago na, this is the new me" he smiled and that annoyed me.
"So you put up pix from years ago to deceive girls abi! You are just an opposite of what I saw" I said in disgust.
" Will you have come here if you knew I was like this?" He asked and I said a big "NO" to his face.
Sandra was so angry I could tell, she came to me and dragged my hand. "Come tiff we are going home, this mumu na bad market" she said loudly and Harry stiffened.
" Na you be bad market, see them, useless girls, una dey find money" Harry said and before I knew it, sandra picked up a small thick and threw it at him. "Shameless he goat, poverty stricken bastard, see your life?" I shouted to him and he replied "ashawo's, see them o! Idiots"
I was so angry and we started walking away when a white Range Rover stopped beside us. My mood lifted immediately, finally! A human being to drop us off at school! Sandra yelped and hit me knowingly. The dude inside jumped out and I nearly fainted! Standing there was "HARRY" looking so handsome and every inch as sexy as he was in those pictures. Sandra scratched her head and looked away in shame, I wished the ground would open and swallow me " am Harry and I saw every thing you did to the supposed me,too bad of you girls and you all are just the same" he said shaking his head in disgust. He pulled out a bundle of cash from his pocket and said "this is the 50k I would have given you for ur transport back home, but you don deserve it" he said as removed a single 500naira note and threw it at us.
Sandra was speechless for the first time ever, and tears filled my eyes as I watched my dream man get into my dream car and drove away!
We left the 500naira there on the floor, Sandra said it would be a shame to pick it and we were far gone before we realised we dint have enough money to get home, we had to walk back to the place we had left the 500naira but it was already gone. Chai! Life na better bitch o.

THE PREDATOR
This is not a Disney story,this story is not about happily ever after's but this is life as it is and how it has touched us all.
I should never have met him,I should never have fallen into his trap like a lost animal but its too late to regret and at the end of the day,I am still heart broken. You might wonder what I speak of and wonder if I desire your sympathy but I really don't,I just want to share my story.
I gained admission into the University at the age of 16 and I was this shy and innocent sweet thing. My mother or sisters never cared to sit me down and give me "THE TALK" but I never imagined that it would affect me in any way. I was so young and lost in the university,so many people from different places with their distinct characters and I often felt lost,like I never belonged. Maybe I was just too young,maybe I was just too innocent but it was logical when I met HIM.
He was one of those dudes that waited patiently for newly admitted students which they usually referred to as "fresh fish" or "freshers". He was a predator and usually he picked his preys well. Young,innocent and unsuspecting girls who were usually lost and looking for comfort and I never suspected a thing till I had fallen into his sharp claws and looking back today I realised how truly innocent I was then. I would forever weep for that little girl I was.
I met him on my way to class and like most guys he playfully asked me to "smile" because I was really in a bad mood then, but I ignored him as I walked on briskly, but he chased me down and I warmed up to his charming smile and experience! I was bored alone and in dire need of attention and he offered me all that. As time went on he became a brother to me, we would sit together in the evening and talk at length, he would advice me about boys and school and about my room mates. I would tell him all my problems and he always had some good advice. He told me about himself,how he was focused and didn't smoke or drink and how he detested people that indulge in those vices and I was really proud of him.
I NEVER imagined anything romantic between us and so I gladly accepted to go out with him one evening. HE claimed that I wasn't having any fun,and I wasn't even going out and all that so he promised to show me round town for a few minutes and bring me back immediately and I dint even think twice before accepting. He came that evening with his friend and they picked me up with a car and I was so excited when I got in.
I first noticed something was wrong when he never even acknowledged my presence, it felt like I wasn't even there. Well I assumed his mind was somewhere else and I settled into my seat at the back and watched the road. Soon I saw his friend hand him a pack of cigarettes and he took out one and lit it. I felt goose bumps all over my body as I watched on, he dint even notice my reaction as he never looked back at me, he finished that stick and went for another. My body temperature shot, I sprawled down on the car seats and started shaking. The drive was so long that it took hours, he was driving me towards the out skirt of town and it dawned on me that I was in trouble.
After a long while we got to a bar and he ushered me out absent minded and before I could even sit down,he had ordered loads of alcohol while his friend joined him and they drank on and on, I took a soft drink but couldn't even keep it down as I threw up immediately. He watched me throw up and decided that I was tired and we should retire. I asked if we were going to start going home and he sneered as he led me into a compound and into a room. My brain shut down and tears leaked out of the corners of my eyes. I looked at him as he stripped naked and reached for me, he had turned into a monster right before my eyes, he smelled of alcohol and smoke as he reached for my shorts, I begged, I cried, I swore, I knelt down and tried to fight him but he was strong and as he raped me. I saw my life flashing before my eyes. All my dreams, all the promises I made. Oh! I have always wanted to keep my virginity for my mother, I wanted to surprise her with it but in my head, at that moment I saw her disappointment but the "BEAST" never cared, he got his sexual gratification and once he was done, he stood up and looked at me with hate and his eyes darted to the bed which bore the blood of my virginity and his hate increased as he spoke "you are a very dirty PIG, you are on your period and you couldn't even use a sanitary towel"
I never deserved that but it happened to me, who would I blame? I have never cried the way I did that month and it affected me in every way possible.
Oh I forgive him, it was hard but I let It go. He lied to me and I believed, because I was too trusting, because I was pure of heart and never imagined that people could be cruel and wicked and like a beast he held me captive and tried to devour me! But am still here.
Moral: Don't trust any one.
