I left Nigerian Navy Secondary School,Ojo, lagos 13 years ago. I did not complete my study there, i left when i was supposed to get into SS 1. It was family issues and stuff that prompted this. We relocated to Port Harcourt, where I have been until now. Starting life new etc etc, one, twice in PH i met old friends from Navy. These moments were usually very glorious, I met Azuka Ugboh and fidel Porbeni who were studying in the University of Port Harcourt, though they left almost as soon as i got in. I also met Emmanuel Etim and Ovie Kpokpogiri, Ibiere Martyns and Sophia Lawson actually lived in PH and were kinda related to me. Apart from these folks, my life in Ojo was an abstract and painful memory i missed.
Ibiere often told me about reunion events that usually took place but it turns out that the opportunity to attend evades me. whenever i go to lagos, i try to make effort to see my mates but there was always a contact wall. I managed to see Howell Alusi (Yokozuna) and Opeyemi Owoade (My 1st Crush) on one of my visits to lagos, I wanted to also see Yemi Morafa but he stood me up. Seeing Howell and Opeyemi was refreshing to me, though we did not spend much time together.
I recently created a profile on facebook (Ibiere's advice) and wops! I met (at least almost) EVERYBODY there, I am still so excited about this that i feel life has just begun. Seeing Dipo Odumosu (who never really struck me as someone who would have beards), Kunle Awolowo ( who turns out to be so sleek and creamy for a bloke), Adewunmi Adeola (who is still Dope, crazy influence, WARNING!!! this guy is off da hook for chezzy), Idy Akpan ( my classmate, all the way from primary school which was Nigerian Navy Primary School, Ojo), Tayo Sode ( my true mate for life), Ife Jonathan ( He gave me his elder brother's black "MAX" jean to wear for socials, you're a true mate) Ile Oke ( who used to have a crush on Nnanna), Nnanna Uche ( Our class captain) The Mofunanyas' ( Vice-Principal's boys) the olly moores' ( Del and his Sister who hurt me once, stupidly, a calico incident) Taiwo Abolarin (my brother(Aduwo) who we depended on in school), Ibrahim Mamman ( generous funky doctor and brother(Aduwo)). Abdul-Malik Ogohi, Elochukwu Onyia (Damisa guys), and others have not yet added me and who I am yet to add.
But for now i'll still be connecting to each one of my old friends because in their diverse and unique ways, they touched my life... see you on my next post
