A LADY’S WORD FOR THE LAWYERS

By Elizabeth Asasha

The 13th day of this month prompted a wave of euphoria among some of the senior male law students with their influx almost surpassing those belonging to the faculty of Human Resource Development. They rubbed hands in glee as they prowled the pulsing Acacia Hostels’ environs whilst the intrigues of their visit remained unknown.

Allocation of rooms was frantically delayed following an order from the varsity administration that students should present a clearance certificate reflecting completion of the first semester fee before being allotted rooms. Nevertheless, the lawyers kept jaunting within the vicinity. It was not long before the ulterior motive came out smoking. Yes, it was unveiled that they were down for a new catch.

They were in groups located at different spots. One group took sides just at the exit path of the hostels such that a by-passing female student’s receptors would hear the sound waves seeking for a fraction of her time: “Excuse me, can I have a moment please? I saw you at Annex mchana. By the way you look cute.” The next step was to ask for contacts.

Then there was another irritating assemblage at the shops clutching bottles of what seemed to many as ‘kibao’; a common liquor that hard core drunkards in university resort to when the economy is below the threshold. From afar, you could see their silhouettes holding empty bottles at the dimly lit peripherals of the kiosk waiting in robust anticipation for the new beautiful faces in Acacia. They would then ask to take any girl that strikes their eyes for dinner, request for an exchange of digits and other superfluous verbiage. The million-dollar question remains: are shops still used as rendezvous?

Other sources have it that part of the team was smoking weed in pitch darkness before setting out on their mission. Surprised? Credible sources revealed that a good number of young queens and kings do it as a hobby.

It is not something worth clamour, after all what is wrong with tripping the lights when both of you are ‘unique’ (single)? Certainly, there isn’t but the manner in which it is projected is so analogue and outdated. Somebody tell the said lawyers that dinner bids are not tendered at the ‘mama mboga’s grocery’ in pitch darkness, holding bottles of mind-formatting drinks. Who subscribes to this as a trend in the world of ‘Tujuane’? It is the most absurd mode for elites of your profile.

Come on legal practitioners, drop the melodrama and come out in broad day light so you can cast your nets appropriately and in the right comportment. The reaction might be negative but be man enough to toddle off the Oraro way. There is no need to pick up a verbal battle!

Remember you are not dealing with tots or freshaz in that purview hence the need to work on your demeanour. Benjamin puts it right, when wealth is lost nothing is lost, when health is lost something is lost but when but when character is lost everything is lost! 


Sorry for bursting your bubble but nip it in the bud before it grows into a huge elephant!
