Akpors' father accompanied
him to his school end of the
year
award party. As they sat
watching and amidst great shouts and loud ovations, the
beneficiaries were called to the
podium for their award
presentation. The following
conversation
ensued: Announcer: Best student in
sciences, the winner is Inem.
Father: (Applause and eyes
Akpors
scornfully) see correct children!
Announcer: Best student in commercial studies, the winner
is
Ajoke.
Father: (Hisses and eyes
Akpors)
see correct children. Announcer: Best student in
Arts
and the winner is Helen.
Father: (fuming with anger)
See
correct children!!. And so, all the awards were
presented without any going
to
Akpors. At the end of the
event, they left
and went to the car park but as
his dad made to start the car,
the
engine refused to respond. He
opened the bonnet and
touched a few things but all to no
avail. Then they resorted to
pushing
and just as they got to the exit
of
the school the rickety car parked
up. Exhausted and profusely
sweating, Akpors rested on
the
gate just as his mates were
driving off with their parents in
Hummer jeep, Sequia, Infinity,
Escalade, Bentley, Lincoln Nav
and
other exotic cars. All of a
sudden, Akpors burst into laughter. His puzzled father
asked,'what's
so funny?' Amidst teary eyes
Akpors
responded 'SEE CORRECT
FATHERS!'.
