Episode 18
To my surprise, it was Moji. That was around 6pm.
âWhy exactly is she calling me?â I said to myself. I picked the call. .
.
Me: Moji, whatsup naw, so good to hear from you.
Moji: yeah right. Where are you please?
Me: My room.
Moji: Have you eaten?
Me: (getting curious)No, not yet.
Moji: Iâm cooking rice now, and I was thinking, that if you wonât mind, I can bring you some.
Me: Seriously, thatâs so thoughtful of you. I wonât mind at all.
In fact I canât wait to taste your delicacy.
Moji: (laughing) I will call you when the food is ready, you will come and take it at Anglomoz.
Me: Thanks so much Moji, I really do appreciate you.
Moji: Never mind, what are friends for. I will call you when itâs ready. Bye.
Me: Bye, thanks (she ended the call).
I told Mayowa about the whole âpackageâ. âI told you she
likes you, you were pretending you didnât know.
Anyway, me i go chop o.â He said. I answered and said, âyou just said this
girl likes me, what if the food she is bringing me contains love portion, I will eat alone o so that I wonât implicate you.â
Mayowa answered immediately. âLet the love portion catch us together o, I don dey notice say I no dey love these days,
it be like say I need love portion wey go ginger my ministry.â
We started whining each other, as we both laughed.
I was pulling his legs, and he was equally up to the task.
Some minutes after 7, Moji called me that she was waiting at Anglomoz already.
I went there with Mayowa.
When we got there, Moji was quite surprised to see that I came with Mayowa.
âYou and this your friend, you are just like the snail and itâs shellâ. She said. âWe are like twin brothers.â Mayowa answered.
Moji handed over a cooler to me, in a black
nylon. I opened it, it contained white rice, stew, and two fish.
âMoji, seriously you are a darling. Thank you so much.â I said to her and gave her a hug. âYou donât have to thank me,
what are friends for? You know you told me in the morning,
that you didnât even know what to eat tonight. I canât hear that and do nothing about it. Thatâs why I took your number
so I could call you.â Since I told moji in the morning that I didnât know what to eat that night, she didnât forget about it
and brought me food. âMaybe it was my dad in action (Yoruba beliefs).â I said to myself. I took the food, said âbyeâ
to Moji, and went back to the hostel.
We got to the hostel and saw Emeka. âYou guys went to buy
food?â He asked. âNo,I went to collect it from Moji at Anglomoz.â I answered. âWho be Moji again?â He asked. âShe is a girl in my department, I met her on the bus when I was
coming to Ife.â I answered. The guy told me what just happened is called âcooler ministryâ. For those of you that
have been getting or giving food via cooler. What youâre doing is what Emeka called âcooler ministryâ. It is not bad
though, itâs totally good as long as it is done with a good heart, both on the giving end, and on the receiving end.
Mayowa and I ate the rice, Moji is such a good cook.
The stew tasted almost like my mumâs.
I felt at home for the first time, since I came to Ife, I had been eating âcondition riceâ.
âWhat a wonderful girl Moji isâ. I said to myself.
