Even at the height of  my athletic prowess, back in the day when I was the starting defensive midfielder <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietmar_Hamann"><em>a la Dietmar Hamman</em></a> for my departmental soccer team (hey, only for two games, but I was first choice!), I still had that tell- tale <em>bele</em>– the ineluctable consequence of blasting moles of <em>eba</em> at Mama Clara’s Buka 12. Way back then, it was still possible to grab three wraps of <em>eba</em>, and a ring of fish with a mixture of egusi and ogbono soups for all of twenty naira. And us <em>kpakorized</em> Engineering boys duly worked it to a fault, thanks to Mama Clara delivering piping hot eba timed to perfection. Thursday with Baba Sala was our nadir;  7 straight hours of back breaking, morale sapping, soul mortifying Engineering drawing made us prime candidates for a double dose of the Campus-famous <em>eba and mixture</em> that was Buka 12&rsquo;s  specialty - first at 8.30am enroute DO2 and then by 4.30pm on the way back.</p>
