Mekus my man
I remember my days in Aba Abia state Nigeria, the compound we lived in then was in cemetery street over rail, the building was a two storeyed building of nine flats but the tenants gradually converted it to a general compound by sub letting the rooms in their flats. The number of tenants was plenty but that spiced things up and added to the fun because there was synergy and cooperation amongst the tenants thou we used to experience the gossiping associated with such environment, we the youths had this bond and we shared things in common but Mekus my man and I had this strong bonding and we were very close , mekus was a jovial and easy going individual and full of humour and very smart, i was living upstairs with my senior brother and mekus was living in a room downstairs,he has just finished his compulsory one year national youths service when we packed in, mekus used the money he saved up from his youths service to furnish his one room apartment to a fairly good taste and thst became our rendezvous, I had access to his room and entertained babes there because I was living with my senior brother and and couldn't bring girls into our apartment in order to show him respect. Mekus was a smart and witty playboy most babes usually fell for him. After hunting for a white collar job for sometime he decided to hustle on his own and joined bureau de exchange and incorporated call centre into it and call centre was lucrative then, he started breaking even and was doing fairly well, he'll come back most evenings and took me out to a restaurant or canteen and treat to a good dinner, after eating we'll go home and watch movie series or play play PS2 games or go outside and sit under the balcony for some fresh air and chat with the other guys well into the night, something very funny happened one of those nights, mekus was standing directly under the balcony and felt water dripping on his head, and he shouted who could be spilling water knowing fully well that we're umder the balcony, Chiboy the culprit said "no uncle it's not dirty water , it's my urine" how can I spill dirty water on you "it's just my urine " we laughed hard that day and mekus had to rush inside to shower
