The university was agog with matriculation celebration which I had no hope of attending because I had no suits or any befitting clothes for the occasion. “Then he tapped me gently on my shoulder and woke me from the stream of sorrow. “Hello Hafiz are you not attending matriculation?” he asked.

I looked up, I was speechless. I looked at myself disdainfully. Then he said “I understand don’t worry I will borrow you my suit. I hope it’s your size.” In my mind, I asked my self, “what if it’s not my size? Wizkid’s die-hard fan recreates singer’s MIL album cover and he got it! (photos) “Then another voice inside me shouted “Hafiz! Will you follow him and collect the suit, you think you have a choice? Does size matter at this moment?” and I thought about it then I answered, “it doesn’t matter.”

The voice said “collect the stuff jo MUMU” Yes the voice in me was right. I was ready to wear any size. A moment later I came out well dressed and ready to mingle with my mates. I wish I could see that my roommate now to say thank you.”
