Read previous episodes here Temi and I were playing Ludo in Temi’s room, when we heard a voice call from the sitting room. “Helloooo.

Read previous episodes here The Batch A corps members passed out of camp on a Thursday and Dennis went to the local government secretariat to see if any was posted to our neck of the jungle. He came back with two guys and a girl. I nearly laughed out loud at the misery on their … Continue reading
