Sometimes I think back to 2011.
This time was at Obafemi Awolowo University. I was in the Post graduate hall. Specifically Room E103. It was a long stretch to the bathroom and people prefer to brush their teeth behind the room using the back door. Even people on other floors above. The block was a three storey building by the way. And we would use the sachet water. The only issue was that the back of the rooms or front for some other blocks ended up being slippery.
Now here comes the fall.
On this day, I could not get into the room through the front door. So I opted to use the back door. As I climbed on a platform to access the cubicle before the door. I slipped. The platform was about 1 - 1.3m high. And I fell with both legs. I expected to fall with my back or my head down as I had lost grip. But then, I landed on my two legs. It did not make sense. I looked at the building behind for anyone that could have seen me but there was no one. It still does not make sense today when I think of it.
What could have happened?
I still do not know. I do not have anybody to ask. I think something strange happened this day. I gave thanks to God and I still do give thanks when I recall. I probably would not be here typing this today. But here I am. Still grateful.
