How My Roommate Turned My Life into a Reality Show

When I first got a roommate, I thought it would be peaceful — like brotherhood, bonding, and maybe some motivational quotes here and there.

 

Instead, I got Big Brother Naija in real life.

 

Episode 1:

He boiled indomie… with toothpaste. I don’t know what science project he was trying to attempt, but I ran. I legit started Googling, “Can you die from inhaling mint steam?”

 

Episode 4:

He borrowed my towel. I saw it later being used… to clean his shoes. His reason? “Bro, I no fit find rag.”

 

I cried.

 

Episode 7:

He played loud music at 2 a.m. — not regular music oh. Na Duncan Mighty full volume, like we were in a village festival. When I complained, he said:

“Omo, na inspiration I dey find.”

From who? Amadioha?

 

Bonus Episode:

He brought a goat into the room once. Yes, a real goat. Said his “uncle in the village” sent it to him. The goat slept on my mat. Till today, I hear bleating in my dreams.

Why I Can’t Leave

 

Do I want to move out? Yes.

Can I afford to? No.

So I sit and endure like a loyal Nollywood housewife.

 

But one day… one day, I’ll have my revenge. I’ll hide his charger during an exam week.

Moral of the Story:

 

Choose your roommates wisely. Or at least, pray before JAMB gives you one.
