Open Letter To My Secondary School Mates!!!!!!!!a Must Read. / My Life In Secondary School / Reminiscing Story About My Secondary School (2) (3) (4)

Our School Motto was: Making Men out of Boys. It was a community school at the outskirts of the city. For the past 7 years before I joined form 1, only 3 students had made it to a university; by cheating the exams. Our discipline master, Mr. Philip Adams was a self-proclaimed Ganja man- an awkwardly tall man with a shaggy goatee. We had nicknamed him Phillipe, a name which he personally loved.

Ours was the only boys school north of the Niger.

Striking was part of term’s co-curricular activities. At the beginning of each term, the teachers would include two more weeks to the timetable to compensate the days expected to be lost due to strikes.

On Friday nights, everything else used to take place except reading. I remember at one time, the whole of form 4 class was suspended for a mass sneaking out of school. We basically used to strike to quench our dual-thirst for Local Brew and girls. The nearby slum apart from providing grade 1 Local Brew, also housed willing twilight girls. On reaching form 3, most of us would already be proud fathers of several kids across the street. In fact most Form 4’s used to be referred to as Baba Johnny, Baba Caro et al by form 1’s.

This excessive libido made the administration take a drastic but draconian action.

Out of evident wickedness and cruel mistreatment, the administration hatched a plan behind our backs. According to classified Intel which we later sniffed, the admin together with the school cooks entered into an evil collaboration. They schemed, without our consultation, to spice our food with herbal anaphrodisiacs. angry

Immediate results. It worked.

I noticed it almost immediately after taking lunch on Wednesday. Although I entered the Dining Hall on a standing ovation, by the time I cleared my plate “I” was hanging lifelessly. I kept it to myself. lipsrsealed

On Thursdays, most of us used to trans-night until Friday morning; of course not reading, but moving across form 1 dorms soliciting funds for Friday Night escapades. We would only rest after raising sufficient funds for atleast three cups of local brew.

Alen was a funny character. He had repeated form 4 three times, each time disappearing at the third term, 2 days before the WASSCE (WAEC) exams.

It was Friday around 5 a.m. I heard him shouting his lungs out, standing at the dormitory’s entrance and screaming something about erecting. Most of us woke up to check on the hullabaloo.

The dormitories doors went open and sleepy ruffians ran to the center of the call. A size-able crowd gathered around Alen. Shaking his head like ripe Udala in the wind...

Start by changing your name first. It is having traits of one who has nothing original/new/quality to offer. I understand you the benefits that can go with using a known name, but how many of such people have risen above the limitation inform of known name they develop under, besides it doesnt look good on what you do atleast not in your case.

Get a catchy name that can draw attention, if what you do is good enough, it will sustain the attention to the point where you even want to have breaks.
Do you know how far she went before she became known, you want her works to just speak for you without sweat?
Continue your work deligently, then it will speak for you someday.

As a matter of fact, the name attracted me to your work but i didnt read it, couldnt read it because it already sent average/mediocre/fake signal to my brain and that i detest, i mean like dead on arrival. I cant tell if your work is good or not because of the caveat in your name screaming read at your own risk or waste of time. I wrote this because of your subsequent posts not the official one.

Please dont, only change your name and if use the appropriate section to post. Like if comical base use joke section, if fashion base use fashion section etc so that people dont just assume its another story from a bored fellow, unless what you do is purely literature.

You dont run away from criticisms or unpleasant situations, you deal with them or they will always keep resurfacing to chase you because what you run away from always have power over you.

There's is a popular upcoming music artist here called airforce., when he released his work here, he got criticisms you dont want to imagine. I know he felt bad too but he pesevered and faced it. The last i heard about him, he is going places.

Even if your works are good people will still talk. Are you going to keep running away from your gift?
Can you really run away from critiques that are everywhere?
I only corrected your name not your works yet. Look again, i think it made some people that read it lol. Even as good as the name you copied, she still get criticised but she gets better because she continues and deal with it by taking the corrections and discarding the shafts.
