YOUR BUSINESS IS MY BUSINESS

Sunday mornings were characterised by the sound of “Ekwueme” from the Bluetooth speakers, anyone who heard that would think would easily pick out Tosin as the firebrand in the room. All through the week, we go round Europe ranging from “Oceans where feet may fail” to “Reckless love”. A room that prays together stays together right, she calls for the morning and evening prayers every day in her room and always encourages the other roommates in the Lord. On Thursday, I came back early from class when I overheard her telling Chioma, one of her roommates about what Seyi another of her roommates said about her. At first, it felt harmless until I considered that Chioma was the troublemaker of the lot. Indeed, when they all came back from class after evening prayers, Chioma started the wahala and said someone told her what Seyi said in her absence and that if she had anything to say, to say it straight to her face, an argument ensued and everyone went to bed angry amidst pleas from Tosin to let peace reign. I hadn’t gone out all day so early on Friday after they had all gone for classes, I overheard Seyi telling Amina, another roommate that she knew for sure that it must have been Mary who told Chioma what she said and that she was misquoted and that was not even what she said. I was coming back to the hostel around 9pm and before you ask what I went out to do, I went to buy suya, I saw Aunty Tosin getting cozy with another guy other than the Broda Christopher who she told us was her boyfriend, who knows? Maybe she was preaching the gospel. Immediately I entered, I went to their room to “borrow” toilet key just at the same time when they were discussing the matter, I conveniently dropped hints of locking the room door and addressing the issue once and for all then I conveniently returned the key some minutes later. Now I have bought popcorn and I’m waiting for drama to start, all I know is that tomorrow, I will sleep well and no “Ekwueme” will wake me up. I apologise for being MIA, I'm back now and there will be more regular updates. Thanks for sticking with me. LOVE, OMO AYAN.
