A typical Ibo man, from the Eastern part of Nigeria, Remi like many of his tribesmen was an avid businessman. Everything just had to boil down to the exchange of goods and services with the aim of profit making. If you are not talking money, then you are not getting heard.
It is very rare to find Remi spending time discussing trash and unprofitable issues, to even see him for serious matters sef is a tug of war. Inspite of his busy schedule, Remi still makes time to attend lectures, even more than some of us who had nothing tangible to do.
I envy people like him who came to school, not to make good grades, but instead for the knowledge it affords them. Therefore although he doesn't score a lot of As, however his mastery of his subject matter - history, is enviable. A little disagreement on political issues would see him brandishing historical facts and mysteries alike.
His tolerance for people can be witnessed in the fact that most of his friends in School were from other ethnicities and a sizeable portion from the other religion. He is also a very cheerful person by nature, and it is not uncommon to find him reeling out jokes which would make even the saddest of men smile.
In summary, Our feature character today is definitely a good man, who knows exactly when and how to socialize, be responsible, play and work. His jesting or 'yabbing' skills as some people may call it is second to none. Once he gets into his element, whoever he picked on should just be pitied.
