**How I lost my virginity**

Episode 1
My name is Lomew Inyang, am 16 years
old. I had just finished my secondary school
few months and I was looking for a place to
go, far away from home, for a change of
environment. So when my immediate elder
brother told me that it was cool if I wanted
to come and spend some time with him at
his off-campus apartment in Owerri, I was
more than happy to grab the offer with both
hands, bum, foot and all
Immediately, I went shopping for new
clothes. I wanted to look the part of an
undergraduate (abi una wan make I fall my
hand unto make those campus babes sabi
say I be Johnny-Just-Come (JJC)?)
The next day, after I had the chat with my
brother on BBM, I set out to IMSU. When I
got to the final bus stop at Douglas road, I
called him to notify him of my arrival.
Me: Hafa na. I don dey for the last bus
stop.
Isinke: Am not at home now. I still dey

IMSU Small Gate, after everybody don drop,

The call ended. I put my phone back into
my pocket and asked a passer-by where I
can get a keke going to IMSU Small Gate.
He told me. I crossed to the opposite
junction and entered a keke going my
direction. As the tricycle was moving, I was
looking at the young people walking or
standing on the sidewalk, they were
probably students, I mused. I then started
wishing I was already in the University. The
keke man dropped me in front of my
brother’s lodge with an additional charge.
Immediately I stepped down, my phone rang
– my brother.
Me: Which other swear you swear for me
again?
Isinke: Nothing like that bro. My girlfriend
just called me and told me she prepared
some food in my room. She is still there. So
when you get to my room, just knock, she
will open for you.
Me: You mean she will open for me?
Isinke: The door, fool! He ended the call. I
entered inside the compound, found the
door that was written ‘8’ on it, knocked
thrice and waited. ……
