An Unusual Thing

Joel was in bed at dawn when he suddenly got a message from his aunty in London.  I quote "I have sent you money through Western Union, please go for it as soon as possible". It was 5am in the morning, he swiftly got out of bed and headed towards the direction of the bath house. He was done brushing and showering within 10minutes which was very unusual of him. I guess he forgot to compose one of his daily tracks, he usually does, under the shower this time around. His roommates were even wondering why he was up and ready for lectures before 6:30am and he was busily singing "ibi God who dey bless me oo". Laugh out loud, I mean the scene was just an interesting one to witness. He purposed in his heart to go to the bank first before lectures. He hurried off and he was the first to be attended to by the teller. Hello, good morning my first client for today. how may I help you?, the teller said as she chuckled. It was like she was up to something but this wasn't the time to be analytical, he said to himself.  He responded with a smile and dished out the numbers for the transaction to the teller as his aunty had directed him to. You are Joel right? The teller asked. Oh yeah, he responded. She handed out an envelope to him and said this is from your aunty. What a wow, he said to himself. Hastily, he took it and drop it safely in his bag and rushed off to class The teller just watched and chortled.  During the lecture period he got a message from his aunty, the teller said you have received the money. Yeah I did, thanks a lot aunty, you don't know how much I needed it, you are truly sent from heaven, he responded. I'm touched but have you opened it to check?, please do if you haven't, his aunty replied. He quickly opened up his bag, took out the envelope and opened it up cautiously. They were printed papers with April Fool inscription on them. Herrrrrr, he exclaimed. And everyone's attention was drawn to him and they all started laughing, the class ended just there and it became his nick-name from that day onwards. And that was how it all begun.
