Room 29

This is a continuation of room 29, I don't know if I will end the series but I'm just 'gonna' write. Please take note, names used aren't real...

Room 29 has different spheres of girls.

First, we have the clique of big girls. They have never gone near the camp kitchen, in short, their meal ticket is still as new as anything. 'Mami' was their regulars, they spend most of their time at Mami. From parade ground to Mami and at night they stay there and come into the hostel close to when there would be light out.

They come to the hostel to gist us how they were able to eat out with the male corpers. They do these to the extent they know them by their names. Meanwhile, one of the girls came to announce to us that she kissed...'wow' we all screamed.

Funnily, these groups are the ones that beg for sachet water and take people's water if they are not around.

We have the "I too know people". A roommate was seriously coughing and have a running nose. Her bunky kept telling her she should go to the clinic but the girl in question said it's a sign of malaria and that it occurs sometimes.

Guess what we have a medical student in our room who unfortunately has her bed space beside this girl that is sick. She dragged this not too strong corper to the clinic and ask her student's doctors to run a covid test on her. She and her bunky were tested positive, and they asked to exit the camp. Aunty then came to the room to announce that everyone will go for the covid test. I began thinking, so I will go through that rigorous test because of some silly accusations.

Another roomy began having a running nose and the same medical student began monitoring her, to the extent she almost embarrassed her at the parade, telling her to use her nose mask as she is having the covid symptoms. She came to the room to complain about the silly act of the medical student and we did our best to calm her down. Not long the medical student was sent home for having covid symptoms.

We also have the rules breakers. Betty(not her real name)has just finished gisting us about a female corper who peeped in the bathroom instead of using the toilet. But at night I heard the sound of someone peeping, as I opened my eyes to see who could be doing this, I saw her peeping in her potty in the room. Well, I knew her type of person and decided to let things slide. Her clique was the one also washing in the room but everyone allowed it to slide.

Lastly, we have the lazy ones who are always in the room and will never participate in anything. One was caught moving out with the Muslim faithful for their morning prayers to miss the morning drills and sleep at the mosque.

Nevertheless, in Room 29 I saw humility and oneness. On the last day of passing out, we had a room devotion and I could feel the presence of Yahweh. Oh, I forgot to mention that Lizy(not her real name), left our group chat because while taking our group picture someone blocked her and she began raining curses on the girl. To the extent, she said " that is how people will be blocking her destiny", we could not take this at this point, and everyone bounced on her so she left the group. Guess no one quarreled about it that night we all came back.

Forgive me, I forgot to mention we had a Room party at maami and it was fun. We were also planning to have a party with Room 29 boys but they weren't cooperative.

Leaving camp, we had a birthday party but some didn't turn due to some engagement. But we contributed to getting a gift for the celebrant.

Well, Room 29 is a memory that has come to stay. Thanks for reading...
