Alright! Here’s a powerful, grounded, and emotional episode focused on Sophia’s first real taste of university life in Nigeria — as an 18+ girl adjusting to the adult world, hostel living, and the campus grind. Just like what many girls in Nigeria face at that age — emotionally, socially, and physically.

🎬 EPISODE 25: "Welcome to UBE, Sophia"

🎒 Scene 1: Arriving at the Hostel

Sophia drags her two boxes into Unity Girls Lodge under the blazing sun. Her assigned room is Block D3, Room 17.

She knocks gently.

A soft voice responds from inside:

“Come in.”

Sophia opens the door and meets her new roommate.

🌸 Scene 2: Meet Tina

Name: Tina Okiemute

Age: 21

Course: Mass Communication, 200 Level

Personality: Calm, stylish, lowkey spiritual, and firm.

She’s seated on her bed with her mini laptop open and soft gospel music playing. She looks at Sophia warmly.

Tina: “You must be my new roommate. I’m Tina… Welcome to UBE.”

Sophia smiles nervously and nods, introducing herself.

🧼 Scene 3: Adjusting to Hostel Life

Sophia begins to unpack. Here's her adjustment journey:

💼 Her Space Setup:

Lower bunk bed

Bucket, locker, fan, extension box

A side for her clothes and shoes

Arranged her panties, bras, and skincare neatly in her locker

🛀 Bathroom & Hygiene Reality:

Wake up at 4:30am to fetch water before it finishes

Share bathroom space with 15 other girls

Sometimes has to bathe with wrapper around her chest if water finishes

👚 Laundering:

Washes her underwear every night

Does full laundry on Saturdays

Bought “OMO 5-in-1” detergent and a hard scrubbing brush

🍲 Scene 4: Food & Cooking Life

Tina shows her how things work in the hostel:

Girls cook with electric stoves or small gas cookers

Everyone locks their food locker — food gets stolen!

Sophia makes her first meal: jollof spaghetti with Titus sardine

She eats on her bed, tears almost in her eyes. Not because of the taste—but the freedom and responsibility.

📚 Scene 5: Campus Life Reality

UBE is big, hot, and scattered.

Walks to class under hot sun with her backpack, power bank, and water bottle

Boys try to "toast" her already, calling her “fine babe with curves”

She wears baggy jeans and big tees to hide her growing figure

💬 Scene 6: Tina's Advice at Night

Tina turns to Sophia at night:

“Babe, welcome to adulthood. Na this campus you go learn life.

People go pretend, boys go lie, lecturers go stress you.

But stay sharp, stay clean, and stay focused.”

Sophia listens deeply.

“Thanks, Tina. I’m ready to face it.”
