My wallet was not even going to be doing me any help, total amount of cash on me was 20 naira* I had to be in school for a presentation by noon, I had no food in my system, so I was naturally not inspired to go to school that day. In as much as I did not want to be in school that day, I could not risk my presentation, it was valued at well close to 30 marks. With my 20 naira I was going to pull through even though my transport fare to class was 30 naira only.
I was optimistic I was going to pull through that day so I got ready, I asked the first dude, he gave me 20 naira (the story was, atleast let me get into school) somewhere around it, I was lead to ask another guy I met on my way down the stairs, ( I said I needed to buy airtime and make an important call about my seminar supervisor) he gave me 60 naira, it became 100 naira. I further had another good luck as I got to the school gate, I told another friend I knew I needed 50 naira to complete my 10 naira that ensured I went to school and came back. (I showed him the 10 naira that came with the 50 naira that made that first 60 naira) so he gave me the 50 naira, that made the sum total in my wallet 150 naira* (my day was changing)
I got into my class with 120 in my wallet, the presentation had not started, we waited for 30 minutes and she was not there yet. the trouble that comes with hunger came, and then I could not withstand the pain. I cannot say how I found my way out of the class where we were waiting for the presentation to start before finding myself in the canteen already ordering a bottle of coke and meat pie* my bill was 110 naira* I had 120 in my wallet. I paid. I got my balance of 10 naira. I went back to class.
The presentation soon began and I was in comfort, I did my part very well I guess because I got some applauses, then I think I rescued my group by answering a question that was going to cost us marks. It was a good day in school, it was somewhere near cool because my group leader gave me an azikiwe head for doing the group proud. It was a cool day after all, with 20, I still made my day because I was back to my base sipping a can of the ever powerful black bullet drink! With over 300 naira in my wallet*
