Love Garden
Usually the love garden is not a vibrant
place. It is a new week and nothing unusually is going on in the love garden.
After few minutes of loneliness, I decided
to go for some fried akara, potatoes and yam at food village nearby. I got them
and decided to change my sitting position from the previous place I sat. Students
passed, some sat and read their books, and some were busy with their phones
while some indulged in talking and chatting with friends.
Meanwhile, as I munched my
delicious chops, a guy approached the girl sitting at the same hut with me. Well,
it’s not so boring since people come to meet new people here, I thought. After they
finished their chat which lasted for a few minutes, he came to me. He introduced
himself as Kennedy. He told me of a Bible talk meeting which was held every Thursday
here in the love garden, then on Friday outside the campus. The meeting of Friday
comprised of students from other institutions like university of Lagos (UNILAG),
Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH), Lagos State University (LASU) etc. while
we talked his friend joined him in inviting me for the bible talk which was
according to them, fun, creative, relaxing and very enriching. I then asked
them how they felt about the love garden.
The love garden, according to my
new friends, is ok. But they like flowers and felt more flowers should be
planted around the place, the broken bricks should be filled up and more
decorated sculptures should be mounted in the love garden.
We however, exchanged numbers and I
bade them farewell. Other people came around the hut where I sat. The noise
from generator was increased with the noise of the new people in my hut. They talked
so much about sports. I left there. Maybe, the Thursday Bible talk meeting will
brighten things up in the love garden.
