Summary of the Life Changer Chapter 2 – JAMB Novel
In chapter of the book, Ummi starts by telling her children of her experiences 20 years ago in the university after she got admission. She got married even before she started her registration.
Ummi attended Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
She describes the nature of university; how it was difficult for anyone to differentiate between the lecturers and the students as everybody wore mufti.
Nobody wore uniforms except few faculties such as law, social works and few others which had approved dress codes.
She also tells her children about the freedom an carefree lie in the university where students had no one to regulate their activities. Ladies dressed almost backed to school without any sanctions. At this juncture, Ummi mentions her experience with Salma, the sophisticated high school lady.
Salma comes for her registration. She comes earlier than every other person but complains about the delay in the registration process.
According to the book (The Life Changer), Salma was a fair complexioned girl, tall, slim and rather busty.
Still on the queue, a young man interrogates Salma. Salma continues to express discomfort in the registration procedure. She likens the lecturers with the police men by saying that both personalities can be bribed. She did not stop there. She also went in to boast of her ability to the lecturer’s attention if she offers as low as 2,000 thousand naira – 3,000 naira. By doing so, Salma claims that both the lecturers and the police men are of no difference and can be won with just a little token.
To everyone’s greatest astonishment, the man with whom Salma conversed was the lecturer in charge of the registration process. Salma never knew that.
Ummi proceeds to the office of her Head of Department (HOD) for her registration. Ummi’s HOD was Dr. Samuel Johnson; in short form: Dr Sam John.
The HOD was seen exchanging winsome pleasantries with Ummi which Ummi found awkward. She assumed that the HOD is making passes at her. Meanwhile, the HOD knows her and the husband very well and even worked her admission.
She manages to bear the situation till she is given her registration number. She finally get her reg no (matriculation number) and her number was UG0001. Ummi leaves the office offended due to what the HOD did (making passes at her).
Ummi reports what happened in school to her husband (Mr Esquire). Acted so reluctantly and also discloses his good relationship with the HOD. Ummi was surprised to learn that both are very good friends.
