The Doubtful Arewa Guy.

The Indelible lane.

It is a Saturday morning, and i am already out from my home to go for a jogging around my neighborhood,
purposely to clear my head from the clustered thoughts about moments,
i had with my friends from school (Usmanu Danfodio University Sokoto) which have been lingering in my head to the extent I'm doleful. Knowing i might never have such moments again, because i have graduated.

Not long ago after i began my jogging with my airpods on with my iPhone clenched on it's pouch around my arm,
Then a girl in her early 20's wearing a full track suit with a black hat overtook me without even peeking at me, and that made me boosted my jog to get close to her to have a peek at her and pass her by too so that we could be even.
She was kind enough to show me a cordial gesture which was a smile.

Awhile after series of competition,
the girl finally got to her home which is afar from my home, then she bade me goodbye while i stood there under a shade catching my breath, at the same time wondering if I should engage in morning jogging henceforth. hopefully i might end up getting more than just a smile and a goodbye from the girl next time i see her.
who knows maybe i will be lucky to have her digits too.

Suddenly i was brought back to reality by the rays of the sun which was rising, so i checked the time then i noticed it was 8am already,
Then i sped off back to my home.

Immediately after i got back home,
I rushed to the bathroom to have my shower then my breakfast alongside my family members on the dining table.

My name is basheer, and I'm a fresh graduate of the prestigious Usmanu danfodio University,Sokoto.
I studied computer science and I'm 25.

I haven't been around in Lagos with my family over 4 years, because i was staying with my grandparents in Sokoto and birnin kebbi throughout my degree program years, and initially we were living in kebbi state when my father received an appointment at the Nigerian Port authority and my family had to moved to Lagos State leaving me behind because i was in ug1 then and my exams had commenced already.

I'm the first born of my family, my parents are Alhaji Mansur And Hajiya Hadiza and I've 4 younger siblings ( Kabir,Amal ,Ummita & Yusuf).
