  CHAPTER SIX The principal gave the mic to Mr Samson the exam officer, he opened the paper and started calling out the names. "From JSS 1 the 3rd position goes to Eniola Ajao, please a round of applause for our little shinning star." Everyone started clapping as she went and collected her gift and a hug from the vice principal, her parents also went with her. "They must be very proud, I wish I can also make my parents proud today." I said to myself as I watched the happy parents hug their daughter.  Mr Samson continue calling the names. Ibrahim Sada from JSS 3 got 1st position, a round of applause for Ibrahim. Everyone cheered loudly. "Ibrahim is a very brilliant boy, born into the family of twelve children, his mother is a Christian and his father is a Muslim, his mother ran away with Ibrahim and his little brother because she didn't want to be in a polygamous marriage, she raised her children as a single mother." Mr Samson kept on calling the names,...

  CHAPTER FIVE Mr Abraham is our maths teacher but he also helps us in other subjects. We love his teaching technics and he plays with us alot not like the other teachers. His wife is also a teacher, she teaches agriculture in the junior classes but she is way different from her husband, she is very harsh. "I wonder how he could marry such a woman. She also acts like a witch." We went to the large Amina hall and found ourselves two seats among the other debaters.  The principal came into the hall to inform us that the debate will commence very soon and that fellow debaters should please get ready and be comfortable in their seats. Parents were asked to sit behind, so that students will be able to see the debaters clearly. Prefects brought refreshments and distributed it among everyone in the hall.  The principal came back and asked everyone to sit down quietly as he introduce the important guest and judges. The principal started calling names from the programme and the pe...

  CHAPTER FOUR "Mom... Okay I am so sorry but I didn't feel that it was that important for you to know about it." "Every little details about your life is important to me because I am your mother and it's my duty to guide and protect you from any danger. So from now on Tinu, always tell me everything okay?" "Okay mom. I promise, pinky promise." I said smiling. "Good, even if you don't want to put on glasses, you should wear your headband and come downstairs quickly." "Alright ma." Mom smiled and went out. I quickly wore the headband and went straight to the dinning table. My parents were already there waiting for me to join them, for it's a family tradition. No one eats until the family is complete. "Sorry mom and dad for coming late." "No problem. Just come and sit down." I drew out a chair and sat down. I looked at Daddy Zee all decked up in his white body hug T-shirt showing his masculine build and...

  CHAPTER THREE "No wonder I have been experiencing lots of bad omens since morning apart from the fact that I met Loda after a long time. Sam of all people, the most annoying and terrible person I have ever met." Well that's my opinion of him. "If you are looking for a very bad neighbor, Sam is a good example. He has lots of bad habits. He seems to be such a crazy person, always looking for trouble and being a nuisance to everyone around him including the other neighbors." Not that they have ever complained. "They always give complaint about him every time but there is nothing we can do than to tolerate him." That's a conclusion I drew after seeing Mrs Anderson speaking to him angrily.  "To worsen the matter, he seems to have a problem with me every time, he pesters me alot. He's only been here for four months but for me it feels like it been a year." This one is true, I guess he has a crush on me. Who wouldn't?       THREE MONTH...

  CHAPTER TWO On my sixteen birthday, I wished that nothing would ever come between us but that wish was not fulfilled, we got separated on the 18th of October 2004.  Here she was staring at me just like she did 8years ago with a beautiful smile on her face. She came over to where I stood staring at her in disbelief and suddenly hugged me.  I smiled. "Loda.... Oh my God, long time, how have you been doing?" I asked in excitement and shock. "I thank God, I have been doing very well and you? How are mummy and daddy?" She asked, her voice sounding a little bit deeper than before and she even spoke like those oyinbo (white people). "They are all fine jare and yours? Are your l parents still in America?" I asked. "No, we all came back for my cousin's wedding." "Wow that's good." "I missed you a lot Tinu." Loda said with a sudden sadness. "Me too dear."   "Loda I am so sorry but I have to go out for some impor...

  CHAPTER ONE  It was a beautiful Saturday morning. I woke up to the first rays of sunlight lighting up my room through the silky curtain on my window.  I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky, another day has dawned bringing with it new hopes and aspirations.  I love Saturdays because I didn't have to rush to take my bath or prepare only egg and bread or even in a hurry to beat traffic and get to work early. It was 7:20am and I have to go out for my morning run.  I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth, the water from the tap was a bit warm and I loved it that way. When I was done, I went to my wardrobe to change into something befitting for my walk. I found my black track suit with a white stripe at the edge. I love this particular one because it suits me well and I feel more comfortable in it. At exactly 8:50am, I got back home. I went to the bathroom to take my bath. After taking my bath, I went to my wardrobe ...
