I woke up with a smiling face this morning. The first person that
sent me a facebook message was Chidiegwu (we call him Chidi). The message made
the whole scenario more interesting and worth telling to my friends here.
Few minutes before I woke up I decided to branch into an old
friend’s room, it’s over 5 years since we saw each other. Fortunately, he was
inside and asked me to come in and immediately I entered he jumped from his bed
to embrace me. We discussed about past and present life in about 30 minutes I
pleaded to go home since I was just coming from the evening mass. We made for
the door and as he opened the door behold his dad just drove into the compound,
I barely knew his dad if not that he quickly whispered to me. However, Chidi
once told me that his dad works as a custom officer so couldn’t wait for me the
day he came to UNN because of his schedule at Portharcourt same day. I quickly composed
myself, greeted him and he replied. Chidi now told his dad that this is the
Dennis that helped him during our school days. His dad was so happy to meet me
and asked about me and gave me a good amount of money to cover most of master’s
program expenses. I was dumbfounded at first but later thanked him so much. I
reached my house and fell on my knees and expressed my sincere gratitude to God.
It was at this point I woke up still smiling.
I quickly “whatsapped” a friend in Nigeria that I woke up smiling and
that someone will soon favour me. She compelled me to narrate my previous connection
with Chidi after I tipped her as above.
I and Chidi were 2nd year students then. continue reading
