Episode23c guy Exam na next week oh Nas informed me. The information brought cold sweat out of my body because i couldnt recall the last time i opened a book to read, not to talk of a Physics book. mehn, nawa oh, how we go do am na? na ur side i dey oh? I said. guy me no sabi Quantum Mechnics oh Nas replied, guy na Mgbo we go do for the Quantum mechanics exam oh I concluded. Quantum mechanics is a Branch of Physics that is as hard as building a castle in the air. It is written mostly in signs. Signs that i couldnt tell if they originated from French, Spanish, Chinese, Swahili, Yoruba, Ibo, or Hausa. I hated the course with so much passion, maybe that was why i failed it. Or maybe not. Mgbo was a slang we said back then in school to reffer to micro chips. Micro chips are tiny sheet of papers that contained tiny written cheats taken into the exam hall, not only as a cheat but also as a reminded. Some people preffered calling it Mgbo reminder, while some others preffered calling it Expo. Expo is the National recognised name for Examination malpractice. So if i called it Expo, i would be understood all over the Cardinal points of Nigeria. guy i just say make i come tell u say Exam go start Next week, and Phy411 na Next week Tuesday Nas said. ok, you don do well, i go read na, if i no fit read, i go carry Mgbo enter the Exam i said to Nas as i walked him out of Tonys Compound. Although i wasnt a Doolina when i was in School, i was averagely sound academically or rather physicsically, Mgbo was not only my reminder but my helper in the exam hall. make we enter Paapa place go smoke na Man suggested as we were returning from work the next day. make una dey go make i go house to baf Brainbox said and left us. We got to Paapas place to meet Tupac and Bigie. how far, una just dey come from work? They both shook hands with us. yes oh, we say make we reach here na, e don tay Man said and we sat down. Smoke your pains away, people often said. I had a pain waiting ahead, that pain was Quantun Mechnics. Such a pain couldnt just fly with the flames even if i smoked 50 jumbo wraps. guy u go fit stop to dey smoke igboh so? Tupac asked Bigie, i no go fit oh, i like igboh well well Bigie replied. guy, me i go soon stop Igboh oh, Igboh no get gain, i no say e no go tay before i go stop am I said, abeg bone that thing jor, once a smoker, always a smoker Man said. He was right, once a smoker, always a smoker. Only if that smoker is unrepentant. I believe in one thing in Life; a bad habit you started yourself, no one on earth would successfully help you stop it but yourself. And when the time is ripe for you to stop, no Jupiter could hinder you from stopping. In my case, my time was almost ripe, i could tell. I knew i wouldnt spend more than 2years in Igboh Secondary School before i graduate. make we buy small Igboh wey we go put for the Spagetti and Beans wey Baba jay say him go cook dis night Man suggested. no wahala, buy like 500naira own na I said offering Man 200naira. As we left Paapas place, Tupac said, guys, una don hear this Tupac song, the name na Keep ya head up. we never hear am oh Man answered. Tupac started playing the song on his phone. Suddenly Bigie said, abeg wetin Tupac dey sing, Tupac na rubbish musician jor. i don hear, Bigie wey no get mind, shey him fit collect 5 bullets for him chest and still survive? Tupac said. So began a roof raising argument. Inasmuch as my friends Tupac and Bigie took the names after the late American rappers, they were also die hard fans of the rappers. They mastered the lyrics of every of their songs, they behaved like them, they dressed like them, infact they practically worshiped them as they had two Big wallpapers of Lesane Paris Crooks a.k.a Tupac Amaru Shakur and Christopher Wallace a.k.a Bigie Smalls hung on their wall. One thing that baffled me about these two guys were their countless Verbal attacks on each other just because of their mini-gods; Tupac and Bigie. Their arguments were mainly; who sang better between the two late rappers? If i was to say, Tupac was a better rapper than Bigie. Tupac was more hard knocks than Bigie. I loved Tupacs songs than the songs of Bigie. But just that Igboh a.k.a marijuana was part of what ruined their promising singing careers. Legend has it that when Igboh is eaten along with any food, it could be very medicinal. Medicinal, and also it could do wonders to non smokers, it could ruin their careers/ministries. But in Pkcs case, it was his ministry. Spagetti and Beans garnished with Igboh almost ruined his ministry. To be continued
