Dear Ekene,
I write this letter to tell you how it has been since you left for UNILAG, and myself, for UNIBEN. To have realised that we could stay for months without seeing each other makes me believe that no condition is permanent. But I am optimistic that you are doing great in Lagos.

Boy, it has not been easy for your guy here, especially with some newly introduced courses for us. You remember I never took arts subjects seriously while we were in the secondary school. So having to do compulsory courses in English language, government and Igbo as General Studies (GS) courses is really a problem. To make it worse, one is expected to do weekly assignments on them, in addition to the reports on lab activities which one does every Friday.
In any case, I thank God for the admission because I can’t imagine what could have been our fate by now. I know you are doing good with Lagos campus life. Please take it easy and always remember our target, first class and nothing less. My regards to your friends.
