An old song says “water, e no get enemy” (i.e., water has no enemy). I could remember singing this song on a fateful day after receiving lectures from 8am — 3pm. It was quite sunny that day, the weather was hot. I hurriedly left the class after the lectures to get a tricycle that would transport me back to my hostel. Getting down from the tricycle, I had a sum of one hundred naira with me, so I decided to get a sachet of water as I was really thirsty. I went to a small stall to get it, but the vendor told me she had no change . I left her place with a decision of not splitting the money, but to rather walk fast to my hostel, so I would use it to transport myself back to school the next day.

Oops , there was no water. I had to scurry to my room at the farthest block, unlock my room door, grab a bottle
