"O Ye Rat" 1 by OlofofoOAU: 4:40pm On Apr 29, 2016 |
BY Damilola Towobola (Toblan SPICE.) The semester creeps in with the herald of the 'frosh' and beautiful faces...I had to crawl down to Mozambique hall as Awoites that stayed over the break were already hunting us as meat suppleme nts for their oil rice.(chuckles) I have been a Troubador in search of greener pastures. This is me, It's time to get myself a nap...Manna has come! What's my P? First, I'm a rat which means life is hard as survival is like in a state of nature which is nasty, brutish and short. I'm presently looking scurvy as a result of the academic holiday(famine). Secondly, meet my family...That's Ted, the oldest rat in the Colony; here is my Mom, Lasdiara. Oh! I forgot to say sherma, my nephew got murdered in Awo block 5 and lastly, my lust for books (knowledge) is unexplainable as I consume like a Prof. Hush...least I forget I'm Penny. Food is Fuel so I have to be a thief and to survive I have to be smart and brave. I recall how I do scare the girls, make them do Suwe when I embark on my Usain boltic runs around the room (smiles...rubbing my protruded belly). Now You have to meet my Landlords: *Lucy: the sassy cute girl from the other part of the country whose goodies are like stocks in Shoprite. "That's my canaanland of food" *Mulikat is the typical girl you wish not to stagger into her corner or locker, though the aroma from her meals makes me pray to be a good cook. *Sandra, a regular patron of Fork and fingers. I only urinate on her cloth and roll on it when I am belly filled from my escapades. She aint nice. They seem lovely and fresh as the semester begins. Oh! I wish I can wave at Lucy, she has been really accommodating with her locker a colony of 'dis- arrangement'. Well I love her habit. The days take a stroll turning pages like' One TIMES SUCCESS', as I regain my weigh looking bit of fleshy. I struggle nowadays to glide down the poles and sneak into my holes. Mulikat's squatter saw me during the day 'soliloquizing' and I'm getting curious with her corner suddenly becoming rosy with goodies like trap. I need to find out what brings the generosity..."O YE RAT"? Hurriedly, I fled. That's a rat poison!!! And knowledge has saved me. Knowledge is truly Power...I'm the most literate rat within the walls of Ife eating books for decades. " I recall eating TY's engineering textbook (snort). Well, Life in the hostel is not that much funky as most students are buried in their books, scarcity of food pervades the rooms to the extent the last grains are eaten. I just pray for darkness most times so I can operate. I must stylishly say in Mozambique Hall, I live in Fantasy!!!
