Diary of a UNIBEN Student - Clearance Part 2


Hello guys! I'm back again. Hope you enjoyed the first part of my story? Well if you did get ready to continue your enjoyment. Remember how I told you that there are many "mumu" adventures and rough play in this story? Ehen you are about to see them. Please don't laugh at me o,  everyone has a ugly/funny past!!.

OK back to the matter.

After I checked my clearance date, I started preparing like I was going to resume school on that day. I can still remember very vividly, my physical clearance was scheduled to hold by 9 am,  so I left home by 7am thinking it was going to be "as the book says" but nobody told me 9 am was 5am in clearance time.  I arrived school by 8:40am. Immediately I stepped my feet on the ground some guys who I thought were thugs at first came and gave me the best welcome of my life. In fact one of them took me by hand and started giving me advice on UNIBEN (who ask am) he told me I needed enough passports for my physical clearance, I told him that I already had enough (sincerely I had more than enough - I had 42 passports with me)  but he managed to convince me that my passports were either to big or too small. I agreed with him and then he took me to a shop were I would take "standard -sized" passports. At the end of the day I paid 1,200 naira for just 6 copies(till this day I still wonder what made me do that) 😂 😂 lol.

On getting to the auditorium, I was shocked to my blood cells - all the sits had been occupied. I looked for my faculty and enquired about how the process was being carried out. I was informed that it was done based on sitting arrangement. On hearing this I lost all hope of ever getting cleared that day because not just were the seats filled,  there were people standing and sitting on the floor waiting to occupy seats just in case there is any vacancy. I just silently retired to a corner like a beaten dog. As if the discouragement was not enough some guys had started singing and rapping because they knew for sure that they were not going to be cleared.

If I had known the clearance process were to be  hell, I would have went for military training before I embarked on it. I did my online clearance without much stress and never envisaged the physical clearance to be stressful. I was beginning to understand why some of my friends referred to UNIBEN as UNISTRESS.
