So uncle Akin is super nice, sweet and thoughtful, he helped me get Jan's picture. It's o good to know people actually read these things. Thanks A-didi for your support, love you loads!!!!

GRANDMA aka Estiro aka Esther

Hmmm…Esther is my roomie, a 200 level Law student in the University of Ibadan. To be very honest, I am really blessed to have her as my roomie. In fact if not for God, our paths would probably not have crossed, I’m kinda introverted. I had been praying for my roomies for a while and God has been awesome in my life because of Esther. I call her Grandma because she is like a mother to A-didi and I but I can’t nickname her mummy because my mummy is at home lol..so I just stuck with Grandma LOL.

In the beginning, there was no Grandma just Adeola and I and mhen those were good old times. I just came to the school so I was extra quiet even in the room. I am super selective with friends so while Adeola had a lot of friends visiting, I was just snuggled in my corner on my bed listening to music, reading, on facebook or something. Later on sha A-didi and I started blending but that blend came to a pause on our matric day.

After the celebration at the International Conference Centre, Ibadan, my family and I went to my aunt’s house to spend the rest of the weekend. That night, my roomie (Adeola) called to inform me that UI had decided to turn our room into a kitchenette so we had to move out. I wan die where I dey. I was like ‘What? Why? Where are we gonna stay? Are we still going to be roommates?’ It was crazy that night o. When I got back on Sunday evening I was really sad o, I been think say na dream but when I got in and saw she had already packed, I was sad. That evening, she went to church I was all alone so I packed my stuff and she doesn’t know this part but I cried too LOL for some reason they all seem to see me as a strong and heartless babe but  omo I really cried that night LOL…it’s funny now sha.

By Monday afternoon like this Adeola (mama sharp-sharp) don go find out about our new rooms. She actually went to the hall warden’s office to enquire, what would I do without her? LOL…#CountingMyBlessings. She found out sha and we moved our new rooms. It turns out we would now be neighbours. Hmm with great fear I entered my new room. My roomies were not around so I got in and started arranging my stuff. About a week later, Estiro came in and I really wanted her to feel comfortable because I didn’t want her to experience the lonely and unsure days I had as a newcomer in the room. In less than a month, we became good friends, Adeola inclusive. We now attend the same fellowship, share experiences, protect, advise one another, make one another laugh, cook together, do almost everything together, we even mock one another lol okay I’m the one that does the mocking lol we have fun sha and then we have give one another moral support.

I remember when I had to give a 3-minute speech in school I felt totally incompetent I didn’t have words to say I felt so helpless but Grandma was strongly behind me. Let me add that that was after our first semester exams Grandma had finished her exams the week before but stayed back to keep me company, I felt honored. Hmmm…all things really work together for my good, God gave me Grandma even when I felt all had crashed when Adeola and I had to move out, God is so awesome!! Better believe it! W were two, now we’re three. We may have our differences but I still love her like mad.

A-didi mistress of surprises hmmm..there’s a special episode on her and Ibk coming up.

AYANFE (My baby)
So Ayanfe is the exco in charge of finances in Newbreed and I met her at SCM, oh yea my lovely SCM family. So me and this babe were not so friendly like that then, I remember she’ld send me several whatsapp messages and many time I wouldn’t reply. One day, she sent me a link one love calculator thingy, I didn’t know it was a scam and the plan was to get me to write my top 3 crushes so love calculator would send it to her as a email box. At that time, I however didn’t have any crush so I just typed Jesus three times and sent it Lol…we had a good laugh that day and the relationship started. Hmmmm love calculator can do some things shey? lol…she sent another bc again that got us talking again and that was when the whole my baby thing came up I want her to bring home a fine husband so I can have beautiful grandchildren. Plus when someone on the Newbreed scm group decided to call me mummy J the thing between Ayanfe and I kinda locked. I got to know her even more when android users started using the bbm app. I realized that she’s a lovely person, a hard worker, she has emotions too and so on, more to discover though but I love her ehn. May God keep you for me dearie.  Ayanfe bakes o so for peeps resident in Ib, contact me, I’ll connect you!

Student Christian Movement, UniIbadan Chapter

“If you’re looking for a family of God here you have student Christian movement

If you’re looking for a family to belong SCM is the place to be

Where the sons are vigorous and the daughters are of graceful beauty

The abode of His presence, SCM that’s where we are…..

We are the apple of his eyes and we are destined to shine

We are S-Saints C-called to be M-militants SCM!!!!!!” 

Oh yea, they are militants! If you wanna pray go to SCM you’ll pray for 12 hours from 6pm to 6am the next day.  They can do revival ehn na wa! But I so enjoyed myself with them, they are the best!! I love them so much!

Top on the list is Sister Lizzy (Law school now) ama miss her die!! She has a nice way of making you do what she wants you to do without shouting or stressing the ish. No matter how she’s saying it, you would have no choice but to do it. Then she’s such good and wise company my God!! 

I’ll miss Lawerence (Law school now) he’s always gingering us to pray I got to know him better sha, he’s a good dude sha…

Hmmm Gen sec baba, any time I think about him I always remember when I wore one long boot cut jeans to fellowship lol, it was so long, it was sweeping the floor. When Gen sec saw me he was laughing he was now like, ‘Ehen Jessica, don’t be wearing skinny pants again this one is fine hahahaha’ he now started showing everybody lol.. so when I saw him on skinny jeans I snapped his picture and he looked good. Gen sec is in 600 L Medicine and he combines his studies and fellowship awesomely well. I also love his deepness in the spirit, you should hear him preach #Rhema

Ik Obano, Sister Yemi, my hall pastor always coming to wake us at 5am for morning cry lol...Victor Akuwa the psychologist with the golden husky voice, Presido-that guy is strict o Jesus! Don’t be fooled by his ever smiling face. Another thing about president is that any time he has to do opening/ closing prayer or round up worship he always sings about 2 songs all which span for about 5 minutes each  lol…he has a good voice sha so ‘sometimes’ it doesn’t matter.

Then there’s Siji. Siji and I met in an uncomfortable situation in Lagos. I was in a keke to Ogba and my guy was sitting beside me and talking too loudly on the phone, IT WAS ANNOYING!!!!!!!! I stopped and was glad it was over but that wasn’t the end o. I met Siji in a church bookshop when I went to get my metallic Bible, that was when we were acquainted. As if that was not enough, I met Siji again at our medicals registration point I was like ‘What is he doing here, is he in UI?’ When I saw Siji the fourth time ha I was speechless. This time it was in SCM when I came out as a first timer lol….I could not even laugh. Siji is a funny man ehn! Lol…him and his big stomach lol… Siji is one of the transport personnel in SCM

Talking on transport, shout out to oga Sunday SCM’s transport secretary. Oga Sunday can also be called ‘Falling in love’ this is cos the only song oga Sunday would ever play from pick-up point to the Chapel is

‘Falling in love with Jesus….was the best thing I’ve ever, ever done…’ Lol…he played it so much that we know the lyrics by default.  

Shout out to sweet Stacey, Dideoluwa, Ay (all the Ays), ‘Mide, Mowa, Ini, oga Tope, all Newbreedites-Tiny, Popsie of Newbreed 2013 (Michael), momsie of Newbreed (2012 &2013) I no fit write all their names but I sure loved and enjoyed the year or should I say six months with them.

Rita is the adult version of Amakason and they both know me ehn in to to but I think Rita knows more sha, something that has to do with length of days. I’ve know Rita since secondary school started in 2005 and Amakason came into my life as a miracle. I never knew we would be this close sha hmmm….We’ve shared experiences, good and bad and that’s what true friendship’s all about people who genuinely care about each other and are there through thick and thin. They share the same birth date, AMAZING!! God bless you ladies!!! You are people I can be myself around like family hmmm…who says 20 children cannot play together for 20 years?

by the way, I did Amakason's (r) make-up and gele.
