Unilag and the monkey that ate my popcorn
As I write this article in the comfort of my room a friend of mine was playing “ jocelyn Flores " by xxxtentacion and almost immediately it made me feel some kind of way . Why ?? Because recently they had to close up our school because of the outbreak of Covid in our hostels. I felt some kind of way because I missed hanging with my friends at certain spots in school . I have so many memories from when I was a newbie up till today. anyways my school is the famous university of Lagos popularly known as "Unilag " for short or the school of first choice. If you have read my previous articles before now the likes of **the first time I visited my roots** https://read.cash/@Jumper-22/the-first-time-i-visited-my-roots-part-2-9cc98a5c **my love for photography** https://read.cash/@Jumper-22/my-love-for-photography-7245befc you probably would have noticed I like posting a lot of pictures that is because I like to take lots of picture whenever I take walks or just randomly step out to buy stuff . Most times when I take pictures it’s because I have probably seen a beautiful cloud or some nice flowers or something interesting like a bird or a monkey or just a rare antique. Anyways every time I go strolling in school premises I just end up taking random pictures of places and things my friends and I use to see or visit when school was still in section. Here are some pictures or maybe not some “a lot “ of pictures 😂😂😂
`I am so blessed to have such amazing sponsors thanks for your support right from day 1 💪💪` The monkey that took my pop corn so one time I took a walk to see a friend close to school area so I decided to go inside and just walk around you know .. just get that feel of how it use to be when school was in section . Eventually I got the “Unilag law garden” close the senate building where I sat for a while just chilling . On my way there I bought some pop corn you know eating and just walking can go hand in hand . As I walked passed some faculty I could only see a few people around ; it felt weird because on normal situations such place were always filled with people both teaching , non teaching staffs and students . Anyways fast forward to the monkey story . I was busy having a nice time just sitting and enjoying my evening view when suddenly I noticed my popcorn reduced at first I thought I mistakenly threw some on the floor but then again if that were the case where are the "crumbs " ?? And how come people around were just looking towards me and giggling like I had something on my face. Suddenly I turned only for me to realize that this monkey has stolen my popcorn. I wasn’t even furious I just laughed , more at the fact that he was eating my popcorn without remorse.😂😂😂😂😂😂 like “bruuhhhhh” even if you ain’t sorry act like you are man . Everybody around was just laughing I made a video about it .. it’s currently on my tiktok page . Here are some pictures I took mid way
Unilag night life night-time was probably the most fun time for any Unilag student you ask ,why!?😂 well, for one the food vendors like those selling roasted beef popularly called “suya” and garnished spaghetti, Burgers and all sorts of fun food only come out at night . Then there is hooking up of girls and boys . Those people in relationships hangout together and just talk, eat and basically just have fun with each other . Single people like myself just sit with my headphones and listen to jcole or juice wrld or davido or something fun. All that ??was what we use to enjoy 🥲🥲 these days I walk around those places and it seem like a shadow of emptiness and nothingness has been cast upon these spots. Honestly it’s just sad
Anyways I hope you have had fun reading my write up and seeing this wonderful pictures I took, thanks for always supporting me . till I write again arigato ✌🏼
