It was indeed a lovely day, a day a friend I have not seen in 11 months came visiting. His name is Marcus. He had promised to show up months ago but due to some reasons, he had to postpone it. Even I myself have not been free enough to host him.
He eventually came over and we had plenty of nice gists, it was just fun all through. We had met October last year in the orientation camp of the compulsory one year of service of our country, Iseyin camp in Oyo state.
We were in the same platoon (2 platoon); we have 10 platoons in the camp, it was a way of grouping us according to our state codes/numbers. Both of us happen to be almost the same height but I must confess that he is taller, which means we line-up in front of each other every blessed day for 21 days.
The conversation we had then was not forced and we became friends naturally, after the camp he got posted to Ogbomoso while I was posted to Ibadan. The difference between these two towns is a rough 3 hours’ journey, I said rough because the roads are not smooth.
He made the journey and I am actually glad he did, I should repay him a visit soon!
NOTE: Marcus is the one with the glasses.
