BLACKOUT FOR 3 STRAIGHT DAYS😁

***  *** This blackout don really tire us for this hostel o. It’s been like 3 to 4 days now and NEPA has not even tried. No light, no fan, no charging. Phone battery dey go down, food in the fridge don spoil, and the heat in the afternoon is just too much. We’ve all been walking around like zombies, sweating and just lying down doing nothing. I was in my room yesterday just staring at the ceiling with my charger in my hand like it will magically work. Even reading is hard because torchlight will finish battery fast. Honestly it got to a point where we were all just complaining in our group chat but nobody had solution. The generator people are charging anyhow and nobody has money to keep buying fuel every day so we just accepted our fate. Today we said nah, we can’t continue like this. If there’s no light then we must find something to do with ourselves before we go mad. So my guy in room 12 called like 5 of us and said "guys come to my room let’s play Whot". His room is a bit bigger and it has two windows so at least air dey enter small. We were 6 in total, sitting on the floor, on the bed, even on the plastic chair. Somebody brought cards, another person brought sachet water and pure water because you know Whot without gist and drinks is not complete. The room was hot but we didn’t care. We were all laughing, shouting, and accusing each other of cheating. The whole blackout stress just vanished for like 2 hours. It felt good to just forget school and bills and just be guys again. We played like 7 rounds and I swear I was on fire today. First round I didn’t even win, I was just warming up. Second round I took it. Third round again I won. By the fourth game my guys started calling me "champion" and "card lord" 😂 I ended up taking three champions in total out of the games we played. The way I was holding cards ehn, if you play Hold 2 I go drop Hold 2 back. If you say Pick 3 I go say Pick 1 and pass it. One guy was so vexed he threw his cards and said "this guy and luck". But we all knew it was skill too. We were 6 so the game was fast and chaotic, people were shouting "Whot!" "General market!" "Pick 5!" The noise was so loud our corridor neighbor even came to check what was happening. For those few hours the blackout didn’t matter anymore. After we finished playing we just sat there and started gisting about everything. About how NEPA is frustrating us, about school, about when light will come back. One guy even slept off on the floor because the card game and heat tired him. I left the room around 7pm still sweating but feeling way better than I did in the morning. Three champions in one day during blackout? I’ll take that win. At least today didn’t pass like the last 3 days where we just suffered in silence. If NEPA wants to continue, make them continue. As long as we have cards and each other, we’ll keep finding ways to keep ourselves company. ***  *** THANKS FOR VISITING ***
