My neighbour that always borrows gas from me knocked this evening, but not to borrow gas this time. He wanted to know if I’d seen the new @OPay_NG Affiliate Programme. We ended up talking for almost twenty minutes. I didn’t even know registration was already open, or that registered affiliates can earn by referring people who save during the 7 Savings Festival. Needless to say… I registered before he left. https://t.co/73WDayMr18 #OPayisOkay

Stanley died in this river, and I also watched this river take my best friend. Stanley was the best swimmer on campus here in Abraka. After he wrote his last paper, he came straight to this beach (Mudi Beach) to swim. And it wasn’t just him… Final-year students filled the beach celebrating their final exams. After a while, I left them at the beach to cook. About an hour later, I heard noise. I peeped and saw a crowd… I went out to see what was happening. That was when I was told the river took Stanley. I couldn’t believe it… The same Stanley I just said hi to was now gone? The same Stanley that swam in this river from his first year? It was so painful. We all cried. It was a sad day. “So please, now that you are in this school, avoid that river, ok?” I nodded… I had goosebumps all over me and could feel the fear as my cousin explained the mystery of River Ethiope. She was in her final year while me, I had just come in. But then again, swimming is my passion. How can I be this close to this river and yet can’t swim in it? My mind was flooded with thoughts as I tried convincing myself. From my lodge (Sunrose) to Mudi Beach was just a few minutes’ walk. The next day, I walked to the beach. I saw people having fun. Nobody was swimming. I looked into the river… It was so beautiful. Crystal clear. It was calling me… And the hold on me was strong. I knew I would swim it. Minutes later, I saw an old man coming out of the water with a broom. After he came out, he greeted the water and walked away. Out of curiosity, I approached the guy selling barbecue fish to ask who the man was and what had just happened. He explained to me that the old man was one of the keepers of the river. He goes in with the broom to sweep the riverbed and take out dirt. While he was explaining, the old man approached us, and the barbecue guy told him that I was asking about him. So I asked the old man what the mystery behind this water was and why people say it is one of the most dangerous waters on earth. That was when he told me that River Ethiope is known for its source and its current. Its currents can change unexpectedly and drown even experienced swimmers. He said the water pressure and flow can vary along different sections of the river, creating currents that may not be visible from the surface. He said as clear as it is, there are sudden deep holes. The surface may appear calm while stronger water is moving below. This creates an illusion that the river is completely safe until a swimmer reaches a deeper section. He asked if I was an indigene of Abraka. I told him, “Isele-Uku.” He smiled, told me to be careful, and left. I concluded that water wasn’t for me. I was already drowned in fear… I went back to my hostel. Friday came. I was on my way from the Social Science Block when I convinced myself to stop by again. This time, I saw people swimming… I couldn’t resist the temptation. I was so carried away that I didn’t prepare myself for possible “what ifs.” LAGOS STATE MODEL COLLEGE, BADORE was where I learnt how to survive in water. From JSS1, surviving meant jumping into the well/reservoir to hide from teachers, fetch our keys when they fell inside, or create a human ladder to access water during the dry season. And yes… it was deep. By the time I entered JSS3, jumping into the well wasn’t just about survival anymore… It became fun. So… Back to River Ethiope. I entered the river and joined others swimming. The water was so great and cooling… I really enjoyed it. I was there for hours. I noticed absolutely nothing. I became convinced people were just trying to scare me because I was JJC. The next day, being Saturday, I was fully ready to go in hard. Not knowing that was the day village people prepared for me. I got to the river, changed, and went in immediately. Started swimming from one point to another. Went to the deeper side, came back… Went again, came back… And then

@holardamolar I think we should keep gusto until we found out how reliable Palestra can be, as we all know Reece James is injury prone, so i don’t want us to rely on only palestra if james got injured
