AIR CLINIC WRITING CONTEST: MY SEVERE HEADACHE

A slap from the local vigilante sent a signal to my head that something was wrong up there.

It took me three days before i could recover from this severe headache.

All thanks to Africa that has planted a dirty mentality in our heads that most things are spiritual.

After i received this slap, a friend of mine told me that i have been hit with a local charm because those local vigilante were on the verge of punishing students for the uncontrollable robbery that was on. Immediately I heard this, i became unsettled and this headache started. I called my mum that night because i could not sleep and she told me to start coming to Abuja the next day all the way from Ibadan because it was a spiritual attack and so it should not be taken with levity.

That same night, we got an impromtu memo that our mid semester was to commence the next day and so i had to call that i was not going to come home the next day. During my first paper, i started feeling a more severe headache and i was almost screaming. I was rushed to the treatment because i was starting to behave really funny. When i got to the clinic, the attendant asked me how i was feeling and i started explaining what happened to me starting from the vigilante's saga.

Everyone started laughing at me as i was confidently explaining to the doctor. After explaining how i got it and how i was feeling, He took me into the ward and then administered some drugs to me then i slept off. After a peaceful sleep, I was ready to go because i was already feeling better. I went to meet the doctor, he told me that I was having the headache as a result of the stress i was going through. Only then did it cross my mind that I have been doing marathon overnight rehearsals. He gave me some drugs and told me to rest well.

I left for my hostel...
