It is over two decades now when we left secondary school for the university. Because of our academic inclinations, we attended different universities and read different courses as well. One of us mooted the idea of a reunion and the whole group bought the idea.
Now fixing a date for the said reunion was not all that easy as most of us are not working and living in the same state. So we planned the reunion during this festive period when all must have returned home for the Xmas and the new year celebrations.
Today, that reunion became a reality as we converged at the MOUAU guest house, Umudike, Abis State, Nigeria for it. We chose the open field so that we can have a good view of the environment and also receive fresh air. Artificial air (air condition, fan) is good but natural fresh air and or breeze is the best, !LOL.
To grace the occasion we ate some local foods and then garnished it with some cold drinks.
Thereafter we proceeded to the house of our then Vice Principal and paid him a surprise courtesy call. He and the wife were happy that his former students were able to remember and visit him in his country home this yuletide. He prayed and blessed us to prosper in our endeavours.
Thereafter we all dispersed to our various homes feeling happy that the reunion was a successful one. It was not really the food and drinks we had that made it a great outing. It was rather the joy of seeing one's friends and classmates again after so many years. Indeed it was fun seeing friends and colleagues ones again after over two decades. Thank God that I am still alive to witness a day like this.
We there and then resolved to make it an annual affair with a bigger audience. We all shall be alive to see the next reunion. Thanks for reading my blog and do have a wonderful day ahead.
