SHADES OF REFLECTION (PART III)

. . .CONTINUATION OF PART II
On getting home, I was told Dr. Adekunle's been looking for me and I quickly at once went straight to see him. I told myself "Woah, maybe my name's been shortlisted and the news made available to Doctor wants to be communicated to me" as I walk to meet him with much expectations. On the way, I checked my phone only to discover he'd called me several times. He told me he phoned Daddy Fakoya who's now in Ibadan and he will like to go with me to his residence so we can submit to him my credentials. He told me his jeep isn't functioning but just suddenly . . . then he swing into getting an idea which was the jeep his in-law came with from Lagos and he arranged how that would be the one to convey us there. He told me to start getting ready at once because they've left Lagos for Ibadan and they would get to his residence any time from now. I went home and started preparing and was full of joy and words like "Emi naa? What have I done to deserve Dr. Adekunle's willingness to go an extra mile for me on this and I ended up saying to myself, it's a function of grace". To cut the long story short, we entered the jeep and zoom, off we go! We were heading towards Akobo when Grandpa (Dr. Adekunle) phoned him to ascertain where he was at that time. Luckily and fortunately, he told us he was in University of Ibadan. Daddy was so happy and said "very good, thank God". In the jeep was myself, Dr. Adekunle, one of his sons Bro. Seun, and the driver which we all went to submit the credentials together at the University of Ibadan. Indeed, God raised men for me and I'm thankful to God I whispered in my heart and luckily when we got there, Papa Fakoya was eating and he requested to see the credentials. After seeing it, he said I need to start praying for God's intervention because only Him can guarantee one's admission into UNILORIN.
