Men at work

Abu d Soja was the head of the team at the camp and he was in charge of the daily operation because he was our 'guy',we started to abuse the rules.

We stopped obeying camp rules,mostly the poker players,we refused to sleep during lights out and played late into the night while buying a lot of drinks for Abu and his company.And  of course we were a selected few.

I usually just play poker in the day time with Makanky and the rest of the boys till very late in the night ,go back to my hostel and sleep truout the day and start the cycle all over again.I nearly forgot i had a platoon because,i don't attend parades and did not even know my colleagues .

It got so bad that one day i had woke up late as usual,went to mammy market played a bit of poker,got drunk,went back to the hostel ,slept off the drink and woke up late in the day.I stepped out of the hostel to see some couple of boys playing football ,i quickly asked to join and i was allowed to play.I had a nice game that one of the guys came to meet me.

'Guy,you de play ball o'
'Thanks pally'....
'which platoon you dey now?'...he asked me
'Platoon 7 na'.....
'Platoon 7 ke?u sure?....he looked at me unsure.
'yes now'...i answered confidently'
'Who be your platoon leader?'....
'i no sabi him name'.....i lied
'omo na wa o,na platoon 7 i dey and i no sabi u o and na me be the football captain,my name na Seye'.....
'ehn ehn,meself no sabi u o,call me Jojo.......i went defensive.
'Anyway,we get match tommorrow  and i would like you to play'
'no wahala now,i go show'

The game was to start for 4pm ,Seye had been looking for me all over the camp by the time he found me at the mammy market at 3pm ,i was already drunk.He did not notice so i told him i would go and dress up and meet him on the field.I had won some money playing poker so i was surrounded by some group of fine girls from Imo state University and when u mix alcohol and babes what you get is a man that brags so i stupidly opened my mouth.

'Omo,make una come watch my game o,i be ballerrrrrrrrrr o'.......i started boasting
'oh really,ok we shall all come to support you'....said Chichi
'Come all of you,and see Pele at work'........

I should have kept shut.......
