Our pot of soup was stolen

Good day everyone!

I know you're doing good, keep enjoying.

I would be sharing with us one of the funny encounters I had during my first year in school.

Thank you sponsors 💝

Three friends in a room, the indigenous and the ghetto people.

In a bid to save some money, I and my three friends decided to rent a big single room for the whole academic year. It saved us alot because the house was cheap, the house was in a family house where the landlady and her children lives there. Also, the house was located in an indigenous area and very different from the student populated environment.

I and my friends lived well, we cook and eat together, whenever a lady is visiting one of us, we know how to smartly move away for the guy in charge at that moment but that can never happen at night.

We lived among these indigenous people very well and they loved the way we bonded with them.

Before I forget, the area was filled with ghetto youths, police raids the environment at least twice a week. Sometimes we don't sleep at night because of disturb by the police and them especially when they're dragging not to go with the police.

School cultural day

This is very common to Nigeria tertiary institutions, there's a period set aside for all students to celebrate their various cultures with various displays.

I and my friends were from the same community (same culture) and it was our turn to celebrate our culture in school the following day. We were somehow popular in school then, so we had some of our brothers (community people in the same school) gathered to do "watch night"(kinda rehearsal) before the D-Day.

We gathered, we were beating native bands that we rented, making noises and the people that fancy alcohol were busy soaking themselves with dry gin. It all fun that night because those indigenous people gathered and danced with us as well, not knowing they were calculating something else.

We prepared soup

That night we prepared a big pot of melon soup with beef. All the friends that came enjoyed the meal and we had to go back to the market to buy more meat to add to it because we were many. So after we ate, the meat inside the soup were still much and that would serve us the following day.

Night came

Night came and our friends had left to their houses. We didn't sleep on time because of the gyration... I remembered I was awake till 1:00am.

I woke up around 4:00am,I reached out to my phone and couldn't get it. I remembered there was light before I slept and I plugged it to charge, I got up and went to the socket. I was shocked because I could only see my charger and phone was not there. I saw our three chargers there but no phone was plugged.

I had to wake my guys and asked them whether they removed all the phones. They confirmed that they plugged theirs too before sleeping and they didn't removed anyone.

It wasn't a joke anymore, we began to search everywhere but nothing was found. I looked closely and noticed that our door was not locked... that's to say it was a robbery. The only way one could enter our house without breaking anything is when our door wasn't locked. Oh! One of us didn't locked the door when he came inside to sleep.

Anger fused up, we've just been robbed while we were sleeping💔.

I don't know how one of us got to noticed that OUR POT OF SOUP was no longer where we kept it. At that moment we bursted into laughter,,, they've stolen out pot of soup🤣🤣.

We checked properly and saw that even the small 'eba'(cassava flake) was taken along🤣🤣🤣. The were really hungry people.

We gave up the search, we never seized to be amazed at how people will steal prepared pot of soup.

But thinking at it deeply, it seems those people used vodoo on us because it's not possible to come and do that kind of thing while the owners of the house were inside sleeping and they didn't know...it must be vodoo! I don't sleep like that, I wakes up at any little noise.

Our pot was returned

Story cut short, we woke up one day to see our pot being dropped at the entrance of our house. Oh! They did well to return out pot🤣.

It was clear that it was those rascals around that did the stealing. They've had their head soaked with cigarettes and needed food to balance up but they didn't have food because they don't cook. They thought of using our pot of soup as remedy to satisfy their dried stomach.

For the phone? The phones were not retuned, we purchased new phones and did SIM retrieval.

Thanks for reading💝💝💝
