My Sherikoko - Uche Onwuemeli

I had this female friend a while back who I 'accidentally' met, her friends & I became cool too..

I'd decided nothing could happen between us; but you know how things can be between adults..

Hear the story first before you judge me.

My Sherikoko😭

Thread!

#StoryTimeWithUche
Oge & I had been friends for a few weeks now, I met her one evening after school; she came preaching to me but I told her I wasn't interested;

"I'm in a hurry" I said but she asked for my number, "I can see you next time right?" She asked & I nodded.

The next day she called me!

I was arguing about Aristotle & Plato with my friends; shortly after we finished arguing about organic chemistry, Oge was very calm yet persuasive so it made me give her attention.

"I'll come to the female hostel later today" I said in the middle of the conversation;

"Really?"

I told her I was coming for a fellowship in school so I'd drop by the girls' hostel, I was actually going to see Lizzy my girlfriend in 'Hostel C' but I tried to throw the 'church card' to make her believe me.

"Call me when you come o" she said

"Ok"

We soon ended the call

I finished arguing with my friends & went back to my room to freshen up, I dressed up & took a bike to the female Hostel.

Lizzy & I had been dating for months, she was the perfect girl for me because she was more about giving than collecting.

A  nice girl indeed

"Stop me here"

I knocked on Lizzy's door when I got there & her roommate attended to me, "Uche is here!" She echoed & in few minutes Lizzy walked out.

I hugged her, entered the room & sat by her bunk. We talked for a while, I helped her with an assignment & she fed me some good food.
I soon finished eating & immediately remembered I was supposed to see Oge, "are you in Hostel C or D?" I said when I called Oge

"I'm in C 205" she replied, I then realised that her room was down the hall. "Who are you calling?" Lizzy asked;

"It's one church sister o"

Hmmmmm OK..

I stood up in a move to go, "ah Uche are you leaving?" 2 of her roommates asked & I said yes - Lizzy stood up to walked me out, I said my goodbyes & walked out with Lizzy

Suddenly I heard a tiny voice call me!

As I looked to my right I saw Oge walk out of a room I just passed!

"Is that you oge?"

I turned to Lizzy to introduce them both I saw her face looking like spoilt beans; "what's the problem?" I asked

"I don't like that girl"

"You girls have come again!" I grumbled..

"Hi Uche" Oge said ad she walked closer"

"Hi, this is my girlfriend Lizzy"

Oge smiled at me & Lizzy, I noticed that they both wore fake smiles but I wasn't bothered

I hugged Lizzy & she left, I went to Oge's room & she introduced me to her roommates.

I said hello to them all, sat by Onyi's bed & listened to her "preach".

Until..

Suddenly!

Damn

I heard a tiny voice sob from 2 bunks away, Oge heard it too so she looked to her right & saw her roommate crying.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" She asked her roommate 'Nkechi', I looked at her & immediately had pity on her

"Sam broke up with me" Nkechi subtly replied

"What?"

We immediately stopped our sermon session, "how can a normal human being break up with an Angel like this?" I said out loud & everybody in the room turned to look at me.

I excused myself & went to Nkechi's bunk; I introduced myself, sympathized with her & I began encouraging her


We had a silent conversation afterwards & she opened up to me, while I was rounding up with her her roommates flanked me;

"I know your roommates care but if you need a guy's input please reach out to me" I said as I rounded up, stood up to go back to Oge.

"Thank you very much"
That was how I became familiar with Oge & friends, I got re-introduced to the girls;

"It's nice to meet you all"

"Nice to meet you Uche"

"Nkechi, don't mind that boy"

"Thanks"

"What's his name"

"Sam"

"I initially thought you were the boyfriend" Sandra said & we all laughed


Sandra was the only roommate of theirs who didn't dress like a 'Christian sister', "don't you know him?" I asked - "He's not me o!" I added.

"She hides him from us o!" Tina responded, Tina looked like a typical 'amebo' so I didn't believe her

"Is it true?"

"It's true"

Hmmm ok


I found out that they didn't know Nkechi's boyfriend, "wow that's strange" I said, "It's strange o our brother" Tina responded! That was how I cemented my bench in the brother zone, I bade them goodbye & left

"Let me see you off" Oge said & I told her not to bother

I left proud

I took a bike home from the girls' hostel, I got to my gate, paid & as I walked in my compound I heard a shout from behind;

"Uchman the hitman!"

Progress again?

"Guy I dun dey find you since!" He said as he rushed down to me like he was being chased by 300 Spartans;

How far?!

My heart started to beat fast as I expected the worst, "she dun gree!!" "She dun gree!!" He screamed as he grabbed me by my shoulders;

My heartbeat dropped, I wanted to get mad but I thought to be happy for him;

"Who gree?"

"My sherikoko!"

"Serious?!"

"Yes, she gree today!"


Sherikoko was a girl we met in Owerri town few weeks ago at a party, Lizzy's friend had invited had invited us for sherikoko's father 60th birthday

"Oh! Congrats" I said, I had no clue that Progress was 'toasting' cherry who he nicknamed 'sherikoko'

"Thanks! E go be" he replied


He turned to leave & I was shocked again, I asked where he was going & he said he was going to buy bread.

"I wan carry am go give sherikoko as she dey go house" he replied & dashed out, I stood there looking confused as I didn't know what was going on.

"Ok no wahala" I said


Immediately I walked in I got a call from Oge, "are you home yet?" She asked & I said yes. The situation at her hostel room spontaneously made us friends, the kind of conversation we began to have had changed; it became more personal.

After the call I dialled Tessy;

"Hey baby!"

We talked for a bit, I tried to clear the air as regards Oge because it seemed they didn't like each other, "I don't want it to affect us" I added.

"You have to stop seeing her!" She exclaimed

"Why?"

"I don't trust all those church girls that steal boyfriends with bible verse"

It was shocking because I wasn't attracted to Oge, I asked where she was & she said she was in a friend's hostel room.

Ok baby

We soon ended the call

As soon as I looked at my phone I got a message from Oge;

"He that keepeth u shall not sleep, sweet dreams son of man. Shalom"

"What a coincidence" I thought, "could Tessy be right?" I thought again as I freshened up & went to bed

The next day at school was cool, I felt good; I decided to surprise Tessy so I went to her hostel. Immediately I slighted from the bike in front of the hostel I saw Progress!!


"Hitman!"

"You this boy, you still dun reach here?"

"Oboy there is fire on the mountain!"

I wanted to shelve the reaction aside but I looked at his face & he was all shades of serious

"You serious?"

"I serious die"

"Wetin happen?"

"2 girls dey fight for up"

"Where?"

"Up"

I asked him what he was talking about & he said I should follow him, "chairman abeg my money" the bike man said & I regained consciousness.

"Oh sorry, no vex" I said as I turned to pay him, as I turned back to see Progress he had gone inside the female hostel;

"Guy wait now!"

I immediately followed suite & as I raced behind Progress I began to hear noises from the top floor, "ashawo!" I heard a girl scream

"Na your mama & sister be ashawo!" Another screamed

"These girls sef" I thought

As I looked closely I received a shocker

Tessy was fighting Oge

"Why are you fighting my Tessy?!" Progress said as he calmly went to settle them, "what has she done?" He asked Oge

"Uche what have I done to get this embarrassment?" Oge said immediately she saw me, I then became confused & worried at the same time;

"This is serious" I thought

I tried to further calm the situation, apologised to both of them to avoid being partial. I told  Oge to go to her room, "I'd see you later" I said & Tessy looked at me

"He will not see you later!" Progress replied as he signalled to me that we had to leave the scene with Tessy.

I got the message so we left ahead of Oge towards Tessy's room; we had to pass by Oge's room to get to Tessy's, as soon as we got near Oge's room I heard a voice scream from their window!

"You bastard!" She screamed as She walked through the door,

"What's going on" I thought.

I looked up to catch a glimpse of who was constituting such nuisance, the feedback my eye got was shocking!

"Nkechi!" The girl from Oge's room, it was the most confusing moment of my life!

I was still trying to know why Tessy was 'fighting with' Oge my new friend;

"Now this?!"

Lady B - By Uche Onwuemeli

Men in Black - Seyi Dinma Samuel

Based on a true story, with a little spices to make it fun. Some days back, a close friend and I decided to skip work and school and just stay home to rest, I was in my room till I decided to buy water, that was when I saw PHCN officials cut my wire, "chai! Bad market" I thought, "Bros, how far now you didn't even ask if anyone is at home before cutting the light" "Nobody wey get work suppose dey house by this time" the dark pot bellied one replied , I felt insulted, before i knew it, they got into their truck and zoomed off. I was furious, I had given my landlady N1,000 for the month of June, if she paid the light bill, our light won't be cut by the second of July. I forgot about the water I wanted to buy and walked into my neighbors house, their generator was on.  "Cube, how far, abeg I wan charge" I said, he gave me that look like, "don't you know where the socket is" and continued staring at his phone, h...

ROGUE - Seyi Dinma Samuel

Something is different about me, I can't  tell what, but I feel sad. I have a new job, moved into a better apartment, yet something was missing, it was already 11:25pm so there were fewer cars on the road, but even on a busy night, there would have been little or no slow traffic, its Ilorin after all. I reduced my speed as I noticed the police checkpoint ahead, the men in black used their torchlights to flag me down, I wasn't worried or scared, maybe if I was a man I would ,but I wasn't in the mood so no coke money for them, now that I think of it, they weren't here this morning. As I put off the car, I noticed they weren't just police men but the "day light robbers" SARS. " Madam, comot key for the motor and step outside" the leader said, he was drunk, his speech was dragged. " Officer any  problem?" I asked,  " Be like say this one dey mad, forget you be woman! I go shoot shoot all the make up comot your destiny, I...
