I'm a first timer in writing,
However just as they say there's no harm in trying.
(for what doesn't kill you,simply makes you stronger)
NB:its more of an author biography,fiction and reality alike.
CHAPTER ONE
How it all started;
Opera,opera,opera the caller(Yellow as popularly known) called thrice which jolted me out of my long imaginative fantasy,how far yaradua dy call you oo,he say make you come help am check the system(PC Desktop),wey dy him office.okay tell am say I dy come.
Okay,let me take sometime to explain some few things here,the name opera was a nickname or rather pet name given to me by friends and my admirers(smiles)I do have admires to you know,anyways as implied here it is not the popular soap opera you all know,but a mobile webkit or application as in the form of firefox,I.E et al,which Is used in internet surfing or interpretation of computer source code over the internet into readable text on a webpage;let's say html,php,uhtml,mhl etc.
Back to the story,I'm sure most of you must used that popular browser in your mobile phones to surf the internet,probably for free or for a paid subscription.
The name was given to me after I introduced it to my school,I didn't just introduced it to the school,I also had my picture in it as a replacement of the opera mini logo, and how did I achieved this? I simply modified it.java modding esp.Midlets was a form of using java tools such as class editor,class translator,python apps for those using symbian 9.1 as of then. To change the original text to a custom one.e.g the very popular one, Was that of Cast,it became opera 5.0,5.2 cast and all.I did mine though not vey popular,I named it "Phinity Faster". Just as the name implies it was very fast.
(Aside)Kai gone are those days when java modding and free browsing cheat. Was the trending topic in town and all over the internet,this paragraph will make no meaning if I do not mention the likes of babadinho,ahmsta he has his own site now,mygamma.com a very big e-community like nairaland and alots of learning resource on java modding,deansmob,my very favourite mobile site,anywhere you are Oga dean I hope you read this,I doff my hats for yhu.even here in NL and several other mob.sites not mentioned.now enough of the jagons.
It all began way back when I was in JSS when I discovered my talent, I was a computer geek,although in theory,you know how this things are in naija,some of us know computer in theory like hell but practically dullards.
I got intrested in the study of computer those days when aunty codelia our computer mistress will tell us tales of how it all started from the generations of computer, I still remember her mentioning likes of Charles babbages papa of computer,pascal with his punch cards,a litle about COBOL of which I did not undastand then,and then lastly mentioning the era of nano-techs and all.oho dai,until recently I never knew what that all meant,but something happened,all the tales of this wonderful machine and its makers caught my attention,something that changed my life and made me the self proficient computer analyst in a little way I am today,and with a couple of investment in my talents and of course hard work,hard work in form of sleepless night reading about computer on the internet,using my mobile phone.Nokia 2610 and later Nokia 2626.
Opera,opera mini,bana ce maka yaradua nakiran Ka bah?it was yellow,the boy who was earlier sent by yaradua to call me,I then quickly replied packing my tattered books into my woven bag,yi akuri Dan Allah ban manta bah. Ya de ce kazo da wuri kamin a'tashi makaranta,toh ba matsala I replied again,this time standing up to start going to see yaradua our principal.
Now a little explanation of my hausa diction,bana ce maka yaradua nakiran Ka bah=means a reminder that yaradua was calling.
yi akuri Dan Allah ban manta bah=meaning sorry please in the name of God,I haven't forgotten.
ya de ce kazo da wuri kamin a'tashi makaranta,toh ba matsala =meaning,he wants me to come early before the school closes for the day,okay no problem. If una no understand make una ask foxy bone,na wanchan guy,he go explain beta.
Yaradua,was a named coined from the close looks of our principal to that of the late president of Nigeria, I hope say una still remember am?
Anyway he was actually named due to the close looks and resemblance by students of the school whom he has punished and they have found a way to nick name him inorder to mock him,a form of pay-back for punishing them(students),like a charm the name followed him,and his real name disappeared into thin air.even teachers and his subordinates sometimes call him the name especially in his absence.
As I packed my bag and placed them in one place on my seat, I re-tucked in my flying uniform which I have earlier removed to loosen up a bits due to the tight belt I was putting on for I was the assistant labour prefect I need to be seen discipline at all times inorder to instill discipline into my fellow student and junior alike.
On my way to the principals office I met aunty joy,she was the super rich secondary school teacher who drives an hummer jeep to school,I later learnt that her husband was a foreign car dealer who resides in the states and she on the other hand was just an ordinary NCE holder who took up job with the state ministry of education in order not to be idle @home,this woman Changes cars likes its a piece of paper and she is the colour must March freak type.the colour of shoes,hand bag,cloths,ear rings,ring,lipstick,eye lashes and of course the car she drives must March,just like in every gov't school then,I dn't know about now,where one teacher takes up to three or four subject,she was taking only two,something I heard she told the principal that she doesn't like stress,of course the principal was cool with it,in pidgin terms'we will say shebi she get money nah'?she took only commerce and hausa,you can imagine the mix,some student have often decried of her inability to explain the bulky notes she alwasys instruct us to copy,which nothing was done about it.immediately she saw me she decried and said "Adebisi,calling my surname, my opera mini although she called it 'Phinity Faster(winks) has stoped and she immediately asked why?I took a little time to explain to her that it might be due to a change in the network apn settings,APN here means=Access Point Name.or phones configuration I asked her if she has earlier changed her sim before it stopped working,the looks on her face showed she has done that,I quickly cut in,informing her of my intent to see the the prancipal, When will you come and fix it for me"?she asked as I began to head towards the principals office.I shouted back Tommorrow ma,I promised to fix it for her the next day since I will be having her class.

Chapter Two
THE PRINICIPALS OFFICE

With a pounding heart I walked briskly towards the principals office,close to it was an old packed bus,
which used to convey students to their various destination,what happened afteterwards as to why it stopped was a WAP Productions story I never watched or knew,(WAP=Wale Adenuga Productions)
Any way I cared less,after all I came and met the school bus in that abandoned condition,although sometimes when I passed where the school bus was been kept,I had always wished it was in a perfect condition. The reason I've always wished so,was due to the distance I always have to cover coming to school on foot.I've always imagined how the bus would have conveyed each and every student to his home,eliminating. The need for me to treck or foot to school 6days a week,24days a month and 288days a year. It was a tiring exercise indeed,but the truth is;it has always made me to put in my best in school,to avoid repeating a class and hence avoiding double footing just for another year. Most of all it made me stronger. I was the fastest footer amongst peers,an Olympic medal I would have easily won.
The days and hours began to speak now with a clearer tongue.
Each experience had a sharp meaning of its own.
There was the breathless anxious need to touch a computer gadgets.
There was the suspense I felt when I imagined not been able to handle the task of solving the principals computer problem,because I was really only good @ theory,facing the practical aspect this time made my heart pound in a continuous pendulumitic manner.
There was the fear and awe I felt when
I came close to the principals office.
At last I was @ the principals office,I almost fell down when I stumbled on an unforeseen stone,I quickly arranged my footsteps,reasons behind this was simply because I saw Debby.
Debby was my fantasy girl don't touch,I liked her so much,but was shy to approch.she was the type of girl you will certainly love at first sight. She was a bit tall,fair in complexion, she had this nice looking bosoms(my eye no dy wan stop steering @ them) like every other girl, She likes ego! a luxury I lack back then,but got brains,as the saying goes brains don't buy you rice and beans during break time money does.
"Phil,where you headed too"?it was Debby,my fantasy girl asking,I answered her immediately,
"Deb na yaradua say he wan see me ooo",
" hope no problem"?
"she asked"?
expressing concern all over her face.
"nooo oo no pee ooo nah him computer get small problem"
I replied her almost immediately,talking to Debby at every opportunity I got seemed like talking to the Queen of England,for christ sake this chick was pretty and intelligent,what was I to do?(No worry na rhetorical question)
she just said guru guru twice,which meant I was good at computer. She has always known me to be very good in our computer class, she has always brought her home work for me to do, and each time I do it, y'all know what she's going to score;clears throat,high marks.
I walked into the principals office,there was a display of medal trophies,which comprises of gold,silver and bronze which was probably won by our seniors in one of the competition they must have participated,in the corner of the room was a cushion for parent and guest who have come to visit or discuss one or two things which I thought was non of my business,in the right hand corner of the room was a full computer set comprising of a 17 inch monitor,a CPU the horizontal type,a printer and finally on his desk a tag displayed,'The Principal,Zarumai Model school's!model indeed. I was beginning to imagine how to tackle the problem set before me when the principal interrupted my thoughts,
"aha Adebisi"
"Sir"
Immediately I replied,
"what has kept you so long"?
"I have been waiting for you" he said,feeling shy and my head bent to the flood,
"I said sorry sir,I was in aunty Joys class when I got your message",I lied,
"its okay,I know aunty Joy won't allow you to go out,she's one tough teacher".
Anyway he continued again,
"now that you are here what do you think is wrong with the system(pc desktop)it has refuse to display on the TV(referring to the monitor as TV)and before then,I haven't been able to use my Microsoft office Word 2003,its been asking of key,this has unable me to edit or create any document he lamented.
"Its okay sir",I replied,I will have to check it to see if I can fix it sir,I said again was contemplating on what to do,when he excused himself out,I immediately switched back to my thinking mode,Omo,me wey never touch system before,I thought to myself,I was careful not to cause more damage than good,where do I touch now?and where do I not touch?I thoughts inward,I moved closer to the computer sets with my heart beating fast and my hands all shaking,thank God the principal Is not around,I. Thought aloud.
During those period of thinking spree,an idea just came up to my head,first of all I went down low, switched on the power circuit and put on the cpu likewise the TV(sorry the monitor)just as the principal had said it wasn't showing I paused for a while,thinking of the next step to take...

I recalled something Aunty Codelia said, something about a VGA(visual graphic accelaration) cable if not inserted properly or if not insetrted at all,could alter the visual from showing on the monitor,I just bent down took a look @ the vga cable port,low and behold it was unplugged,I felt a form of relief, soon as I plugged it in,checked at the monitor,the window XP desktop bacgroud was steering at me,I was happy not because I was able to fix the system but because I have touched a working piece of computer for the first time.
I took hold of the mouse pad scrolled through some folder,I tested all the computer shortcut keys I was forcefully made to cram incase of exams or test.
Such keys as;ctrl+a to highlight,ctrl+n to open a new window ,alt+f4 to close an active windows ,windows+e to open my computer explorer.etc as much as I could remember,and then I recalled the principal complaining about his msword07,I quickly scrolled through my small but mighty Nokia 2610 mobile phone,I have earlier browsed into some site and found a post by a geek nicknamed'youngblaze' who as earlier posted about 'serials and keygen'.
I have taken into record the ones I could possibly use,which were total video conver,msword07,XP key,ehmm wat again sef ma,kai I can't recall oo,anyway I took or rather copied enof key sha!immediately I scrolled straight into my note,I found it .

At first it wasn't an easy task to accomplish but I was able to fix whatever problem the PC had then.
I never knew what await of me after fixing the principals PC. Made me popular in school. The principal announced in the assembly ground. Guys wanna close to configure their chinese phones of course and babes they just wanna be close to that popular guy in school.
