Friendship is a relationship between two or more people coming together in unity and harmony to share thoughts, ideas, trust, and experiences between themselves.
It can also be said that friendship is a bond of love and understanding between two or more people.

A friend is someone who stands firmly with one in times of difficulties, challenges, and adversaries to encourage one and to render any assistance as may be required from him or her.

How I wish I could go back to the time when all of us came together as a friend to play with each other and have fun, without anyone thinking about how to get money and how to become a millionaire, this time was full of a lot of fun.
These were the times when only peace, respect, perseverance, and hard work mattered without any form of disrespect, laziness, and desperation in making a lot of money at a very tender age.

There are some times in the journey of my life when I have to gather a lot of friends and there is something very funny about me and my friends, majority of them are all female.
We started our friendship when I was in OND then in 2016, and I enjoyed every moment of our friendship it was so lively and fun.

These friendships go a very long way and we all understand each other and there is cooperation and unity among us.
I could remember vividly back then when all of us would sit down together in the Examination hall just to work together and even share answers and opinions during the exams.
This time was full of love, and understanding and it was so fun, we cared for each other and people could see what is called true friendship among us. Whenever the results are out, guess what? We usually pass the exams but I do have the highest score among us.

We usually encourage ourselves how to navigate through life's challenges and to make a good effort to have a good and peaceful family in the future.
True friendship comes with a lot of opportunities, benefits, and companionship.

It is a very good experience to be with a good set of friends because they will pledge their loyalty to the friendship and they will be ready to face any challenges against their friends.

I have never regretted having this set of people as my friends because being with them has helped me a lot both physically and psychologically.

It got to a point when I began to shift away from them little by little not because we fought but, because I didn't want them to have any issues in their relationship as most of us guys are jealous of our partner.

This makes me remember a Yoruba Adage that says Twenty (20) children cannot play for Twenty (20) years.
I realize that all these friends of mine have gone back to where they came from after the completion of our program then at the polytechnic.
Some of them have married now and they are with their kids and see me here still fighting for survival and looking for ways to succeed in life.
