...Everything was back to normal after the raid,some of our friends that we did not know their NYSC status were arrested and dismissed from the camp but like they say,life went on.
Some groups of students attended Ambrose Ali University Ekpoma and there was this guy they called Twins,i later found out he was actually a twin.All thru the camp he always had like 5 to 6 boys following him i started wondering about him so i began to ask questions.Fortunately i knew a guy from his school called Ogbes boy.So one day i asked about him from Ogbe's boy.
'Twins na Eiye boy now infact him na number 1 for school and also for camp here'
'ehn ehn,i tot as much'
'the guy na lucky guy,i suppose don drop am but God dey him side ,i chase am enter bush'......he laughed.
'But his school is a state school now,how come he is number 1 in camp'...
'As there is no number 1 from any Federal University,na him go hold the power'.....he concluded
'ehn ehn'.....
Obviously,Ogbe's boy was from a rival confraternity....I thought about Makanaky and also respected the fact that he said he did not want to relate with his 'people'.It was a tough choice for him but one he had to take.
But events will change things later........
It was during the endurance walk day,all the platoons had lined up early to start the marathon walk,it was an all comers affair and no way to dodge and to make matters worse it started raining....The godogodo were happier for it ,they really wanted us to suffer.....
We had been walking all day,raising my head up,i saw Seye with in the midst of some boys,Seye was a quiet sort,apart from the other day that i messed up on the field,we had resolved the issue.As soon as the boys left his side,i quickly walked up to him.
'Seye,how far now?.....i saluted him
'Omo, i no fine o'...
'ehn ehn,wetin those boys dey find?'....i hit the question direct before he changes his mind.
Na long story,the koko is that i have to drop 5k today or dem go brush me'.....
'Say wetin now?u collect money from them?
'Noooo,dem say why i claw twins?......
'Claw bawo?.....
'me i no even know wetin dem de call claw,we were playing ball and he made a good goal and i went to shake as usual,the next thing i know ,all these boys dey threaten me '......he explained
'no worry now,when dem say make you come meet them?'....
'the bush behind the dinning hall after dinner'
'When u wan go make sure you inform me'
'You go follow me abi? those boys rough o,dem don punch me tire'
'no worry ,just call me'.......i ended the conversation and ran up to meet Makanaky and others.
We concluded the task for that day and i was too tired to discuss the issue with the rest of the boys.....
Seye was at my hostel as early as 5am...............
