She asked once more, this time, with the Sweetest voice, and I gave in gladly. That night I arrived home, everywhere was dark, there was no light, I then Crawled into bed to join my wife, who was already fast asleep..

 

She got awoken by my presence, felt my Face, and whispered; "Oh Thomas, you shouldn't be here, my husband will soon be home!"

Prof. Jubril Aminu was once the Vice Chancellor of the University of Maiduguri. During the reign of his tenure, there was an Aluta struggle and some students were rusticated. Then Gani Fawehinmi was a consultant lawyer.

Four of the rusticated students came to Gani Fawehinmi to challenge the action.

He fought the case to the supreme Court and won and the students went back to complete their studies.

Later, Gani Fawehinmi was arrested over his anti-SAP conference and was flown to Maiduguri, then driven to Gashua. When at the Lagos airport, not knowing where he was being taken to by the security men, Gani played a very fast one- he told his captors that he wanted to use the toilet.

He got into the toilet and quickly scribbled on a toilet paper - "To whoever uses this toilet, this is Gani Fawehinmi. I am being flown to unknown destination by some security men. Please, let the world know". He placed it in a conspicuous place and flushed the toilet as if he just used it and came out. When they got to Maiduguri, they had a brief stop over at the SSS office, where a lady officer offered Gani a cup of coffee for a drink. Gani was hooked on  coffee like drug, but this time around, the will power of Gani came on. He told the lady officer, "so you people have got information that I can't do without coffee. You think you can poison me? From today, I stop taking coffee". That was how he ended his addiction to coffee. He was later moved to Gashua prison, in a most decrepti cell where he collapsed after some substances were sprayed in the cell.

He was then rushed to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital. When he regained consciousness, he found a doctor examining him and he protested, asking the doctor not to touch him.

The doctor not wanting the security men guarding him to hear, he whispered to Gani's. ear -"Chief, you are in safe hands. Can't you recognise me? I am....one of the medical students rusticated whom  you fought for our reinstatement. I am now a doctor, so,  relax. You are in safe hands". And that was how Gani's life was saved - reaping from the Good deeds he did earlier, which he had forgotten.

Moral lesson: Do good always and it shall come back to you!.
