The Siege; A true life story
The Siege Episode 1:
Poverty is a disease. Many dreams were shattered and most potentials are left unfulfilled. Is either you get rich or die trying. I will kindly take you through my life experience and after the whole story, I will ask you two questions that seems to be left unanswered for years. Take your time, sit back and relax as we all learn about life in a new dimension.
I am lekan but am best known as Robkell. I have a very good friend from my secondary sku days. His name is Sodiq but everyone calls him Kein.
Kein and I lived in the neighborhood and that has helped our friendship. We were like twin brother. We lived with our mum as both of us are from polygamous home.
Kein: guy how far? Robkell: I dey. Kein: how this year go be again? Are we gonna miss out on admission again? Robkell: what can we do bro? Our mum can't afford the tuition fee. We ourselves aren't working. Our dad ain't helping. So are we gonna steal? Kein: damn it boy. Sick of life. Rubbish! Can't we do something. I can't miss out this year after 3 years of sitting at home. I got admitted thrice but no money to pursue it. Gush. Robkell: what do we do? But we won't give up. We gotta apply and see if there's gonna be miracle. Kein: maybe. Gotta go home. Robkell: aight.
Both departed.... Kein: hello mum Mum: kaabo Kein: kilo wa nle Mum: omo ko si nkan kan Kein: I left in the morning without eating and tonight again no food. Osu mi. Mum: all is well.

Felicia: are u hiding something from me?
Robkell decided to cook up a story.. Robkell: I have a lady I really love but I don't think she will ever accept my proposal. Felicia: never say that. Why don't you try. Money ain't everything.
Robkell: you wouldn't understand. Felicia: u aren't a kid. Tell her and if she says no, move on. Robkell: I don't want to destroy our friendship or make her feel am taking chances. Felicia: we all meet by chance. So we must also take it.

Episode 8:
Schooling without parental help wasn't easy at all. Robkell and Kein had a very torrid moment. Several times they cook soup without meat or fish thanks to the water leaf that grow everywhere. Water leaf was their hope of making soup for EBA. It wasn't easy at all. Robkell mum wasn't helping matter as she only give robkell 3000 for the whole session including tuition. However Felicia was helpful. She provided assorted meat and fish almost every month.
Kein and Robkell were so diligent and never played with studies. Robkell also helped motivate Felicia. They all live like family on campus. Lectures were time consuming and assignments were many. Felicia once again to the rescue with her laptop and modem used for research. No wonder their first year was wonderful as Robkell started with first class (4.60) and Kein had first class as well (4.77). It was the highest cgpa in their department as the poor guys became celebrities. Felicia managed a second class upper (4.32) thanks to Robkell motivation and help.
Kein: I bless Allah for this wonderful first year. Robkell: am so excited even my girl did well. Kein: my mum has helped me a lot. Always getting loan for me. Robkell: Felicia Na my own Savior. Kein: I don't like how ppl embarrass my mum. She has been thru bullshit for my sake. Imagine she had to go beg my foolish uncle to raise my second year tuition. Robkell: it was Felicia uncle in UK that send mine. It was meant for her bday party. I was surprised when she handed all to me. I couldn't believe it.
Episode 9:
Felicia visited Robkell over the weekend. She decided to tell him about the guy in civil engineering disturbing her... Felicia: Westland is disturbing me. Am just fed up. Robkell: who's Westland?

Akin called and discovered it was a male that answered. He decided to let go. Felicia kept on surprising Robkell. She used so many dubious antics with her parents and uncle to extract money just to finance Robkell. She carried Robkell till his final year.
Final year, something terrible happened..
Make up or break up. Thanks for reading..

Kein: let's wait and see cos am confused. I tink u have a 50/50 chance. Robkell: okay. Am off to campus.
Robkell worked extra ordinary to ensure he graduated with first class. While carrying on his daily activities in school, he had a problem with a lecturer.

Mr Jegele is known for failing finalists especially those who refuses to dance to his tune. What does he want from Robkell?
Robkell went to his office but he wasn't there. He kept on loitering around there. He tried for five days before meeting him. Dr Jegele, a short man with big pot belly. Call him Mr without Dr and you will hear curses raining on u. Robkell prostrated.. Sir I am olalekan, offering your course, Electrolysis. Jegele: and so. Should I start jumping?

U know she sabi ppl for this school. Robkell: okay. U are right. Lemme rush down there.
Robkell ran to Felicia hostel and he explained everything to her. Felicia: that man is useless. I will report him to professor Phur. Robkell: won't it backfire? Felicia: noooooo.
Felicia went to Professor Phur office following and they discussed. Felicia: can u imagine sir? Phur: too bad but is all ur fault.

Felicia: maybe I should inform dad Robkell: it won't work cos no evidence. Felicia: I heard he's among the panel for my project too. Robkell: haaaaa! I won't allow u to do it?

The siege. Next episode
Episode 12:
Robkell: I won't allow that my dear. Let him do his worst. I don't care. Felicia: what if he decides to fail you? Extra year. Robkell: God will fight for me. Kein: Felicia this is inhumane. Let's look for another means. Felicia: I will do a anything for him. Though it sounds crazy but I will carry it as a cross. Robkell: no no no. This is not fair. Life is cruel. Kein: stop crying bro.
Felicia finally gave in to Dr Jegele desire to save her bf career.
Kein n Robkell waited for her at home. Kein: this girl truly loves you. I guess I was wrong all this while. Robkell: I told u she's special. I love her. Kein: this has to be a secret bro. I am really amazed how far she proved this. Robkell: I pray nothing bad happens. Kein: amen.
Felicia finally came back. She couldn't stop crying.
To be continued... Not really comfortable writing this right now.
Robkell: that was too late. Not a good news. Felicia called Robkell........ Robkell: babe, how far? Felicia: heard jegele is fired... Robkell: same here. Felicia: why now the last day of his deadline to you. How I wish we had waited for the worst. We lacked faith. Robkell: am so depressed. God help me...
Dr. Jegele finally left Ife for good. Another lecturer took over and Robkell CA issue wasn't rectified. The only favor the lecturer could offer was to give him 10 marks cos he thought Robkell is the unserious type on campus. Robkell could only managed to get 55 overall. He dropped from first class to second class upper.
Project palava started in the final year second semester as everyone resumed back after a week break. Felicia later discovered she was pregnant. What a shame! Her parents must not be aware of of this. She called Robkell... Felicia: wahala to sele ooo. Robkell: kilode? Felicia: am pregnant. Robkell: what! Felicia: am so down. Robkell: where are you? Felicia: still in the clinic Robkell: come over Felicia: okay.
Robkell: Kein abi u no see gone Kein: wet in Robkell: that girl is pregnant. Kein: haaaa! For you? Robkell: nope Kein: don't tell me jegele Robkell: I doubt it. Something is fishing...
Next episode......
Episode 13:
Felicia came in... Looking so sad and dejected Robkell: are u serious? Felicia: is no joke baby. Am so down. Robkell: who's responsible for that. Felicia: What kind of question is that? Dr. Jegele of course. Robkell: don't tell me he didn't use protection. Felicia: I tried to make him use it but he said protection is 50 marks for you while no protection is 75. I tot A would be good for you. Robkell: but how can u get pregnant just once. Let's be reasonable Felicia. Felicia: what are u insinuating? Robkell: is kinda strange to believe. Felicia: are u doubting me? Robkell: noo but just strange. Felicia: what should we do now? Robkell: that's funny.. Abortion of course. Felicia: nooo! That claimed the life of a relation. I hate that. Robkell: that's the only solution. Felicia: can't you take the paternal responsibility? Robkell: father a bastard. Never in my life. Terminate it dear. Felicia: haba! We can act like its urz. Plz abortion is risky. Robkell: likewise harboring a bastard is dangerous. Abort it. Felicia: I can't believe this. I have to leave. Felicia left dejected and disappointed. Robkell: Kein abi u no see say dis gal funny. Kein: how ore? Robkell: father her bastard. Kein: what's your conclusion? Robkell: abortion Kein: don't be callous. That's risky. I won't support that. Robkell: so make I father bastard abi. Kein: remember she got into this while helping u out. Robkell: and so. She's also helping herself bcos that man go dey among her project panel. Kein: I tot I was a bad friend to u but I realised u are heartless and inconsiderate. That gal got into this mess while helping u now she needs you. Robkell: I never rejected her just DAT I won't accept bastard. Kein: u are a wicked friend and am beginning to hate u. Without her u are nobody. U are a shit. Robkell; without God bro. Kein; shut ur mouth. Ingrate... I don't blame you. I blamed her going through this shit. Robkell: which side are u? Kein: I don't support idiots. U are a typical idiot. Suit yourself but a day of reckoning will surely come.
Over at Felicia hostel, she was so down and decided to talk to Mary her childhood friend. Mary: why u no come class? Felicia: am in trouble. Am pregnant.. Mary: haaaa! How? Felicia narrated the whole scene and Mary felt bad. Mary: I will talk to him. He must own up to save you of the shame.
Mary met Robkell but to no avail. Robkell stood firm on abortion. They waited a week for Robkell to accept the pregnancy but it was futile. They decided to terminate it. Poor Felicia suffering for love. Mary: here is the pill, use it and u will be fine. Felicia: won't there be problem? Mary: trust me cos have used it before. It works faster. Felicia swallowed the pills and later something terrible happened. Felicia had this stomach upset that she was rushed to a nearby clinic.
The doctor tried to rescue the poor girl but............
Next episode.....
Episode 14:
Dr: who is she to you? Mary: my good friend and course mate. Dr: is this what u girls do in sku? Get pregnant and abort without taking the right step. What kind of students do we have now? Mary: no sir, it was a mistake. How is she? Dr: we tried but she survived though. Just kinda scared her chance of giving birth is 0.5% scientifically. Mary: haaaaaa! Any remedy. Dr: adoption or if God intervenes.
Felicia recovered and Mary broke the news. She cried for hours and Mary consoled her. She decided to visit Robkell.
She got to his place but Robkell wasn't around. She met Kein Felicia: where's he? Kein: he went home to look for project money. He's having tomorrow as his deadline to pay. You look sad. Felicia narrated everything and Kein couldn't hold back the tears also. He consoled Felicia and offer her words of hope.
Robkell came back and heard it. He cried bitterly and cursed himself for taking it far. It is too late to cry.
They were feeling dejected when Felicia came in. Felicia: have this Robkell: what's that Felicia: ur project money. Heard about the story. Robkell: nooooo. I don't deserve this. Felicia: u have to cos I sold my laptop to raise this fund. Pls take it. Robkell: thank you. Felicia: I wish u all the best because we have to end this now. I can't bear u children so I have to be on my own.I wish u all the best. Robkell: nooooooo! I won't quit on u because of children. Felicia: u already showed ur real self. U slumped at the slightest wind of trouble. Seems u are only interested in my money. So lemme give u. Ur success is also my achievement. I will never regret this because I felt I did everything for love. Goodbye. Robkell: please dear! We can start afresh. Children or no children, I don't care. Kein: let her go. She doesn't deserve an animal like u. Ur stupidity ruined her. Felicia: bye.
Robkell held her firmly and refused to let go. He pleaded in tears and Felicia felt emotional. She later accepted him back.
They all graduated from IFE. Kein had first class while Robkell and Felicia had second class upper. They all left with this wonderful aura. Will they scale through the high demands of life.
Say no to abortion and always know two wrongs won't make a right. I love u all.

Felicia dad was shocked. Dad: funny! Ur own mum. Young man 2 million and quit. Robkell: my mum is more than 2 million and I love Felicia more than my mum. Not possible. Dad: seems u are tough but am tougher. 5 million and a house, quit..
Robkell had a rethink.. He remembered his suffering and the plan he has for himself. He remembered the projects he intended to start but no money. 5 million will wash away his poverty. He remembered his mum and couldn't give a reply. He opted for three days to think about it. Robkell: I have to sleep over this sir
Dad: I'll give u time. Okay.
Robkell left and consulted Kein. Kein: 5 million Na money oooo. Robkell: what should I do? Kein: I can't decide for you. Do that yourself and moreover it's ur life. Fisayomi has warned me to stop deciding for ppl. Think about it. Pray to God. Follow your heart. Robkell: okay.. So how work? Kein: fine... They discussed other things and he left.
After three days he went back there and met with Felicia dad. Robkell: Sir I have gave it a deep thought and here is my decision.....
