All right, it was during my days at the university. There was this friend of mine, Emeka Ibulu, who had an exam issue in the year 2025. He was caught in the exam hall during the practice, and our HOD, Mr. Zandas Akulisa, vowed to expel him from school. Being a very good friend of mine, I decided to support him by meeting some of the professors in our school to help him meet our HOD and plead on his behalf. I thought we would try our best to meet some professors. At the end of the day, we finally met the late Professor E.K., who ultimately helped my friend Emeka. Luckily for him, our HOD forgave him, and the situation became successful. However, Emeka later had issues with me because he asked me to lend him some money, which I told him I didn't have. That is where our problem started, and because of that, he decided to make me his enemy. That is how we are still, till today, not on good terms. That's it.
