The Adventures of the Private Lesson Teacher

EPISODE 1

Graduation had finally come and gone , I will
definitely miss my friends, my study mates, my
environment etc , a lot of thoughts were
running through my mind as I was packing and
arranging my
load. I begin to ask myself, “after national
service next year, what next?”.
Those were my thoughts a year ago. Fast
forward, a year later
I had tried to apply for jobs during my service
year but I couldn’t get a befitting job. My
friends who were born
with silver spoons had jobs waiting for them at
home,
“Which kind wahala be this?”, I picked my bag,
boarded a bus to Akure. When i got home, my
family and neighbours welcomed me, it was as
if a white man had come on a visit. People
were asking me questions, some greeted me,
some were asking for what I brought. As the
days rolled by, I began to search for a job to
do, I moved round the town to see if I could
get a job somewhere. One day while I was
walking on the 3rd street, I saw a woman
coming out of a mighty white duplex house.
She was pasted a notice on her gate as I was
passing by. I moved closer to see the what she
was pasting, and on it I saw ”. A home lesson
teacher wanted URGENTLY”. Chaiii, I ignored at
first and moved on. After walking about 8
steps. I stopped and thought.
***** why I go refuse this job na?, dem be
rich people ooo, so dem fit pay.*****, I
stopped thinking, went back to the house, and
knocked on the gate. The gateman ushered me
in. The gateman took me to the main entrance,
called out the woman and left,
ME: good afternoon maa
MADAM: good afternoon young man, how can I
help you?
ME: I saw you pasting a notice and I decided to
apply.
MADAM: you mean the home tutor job?
ME: Yes
MADAM: hope u passed your WAEC? And what
was your result?.
ME: *****smiled*****, yes maa I have.
MADAM: but I will prefer a graduate because
my first daughter wants to write JAMB (JOINT
ADMISSIONS AND MATRICULATIONS BOARD)
and post jamb( a Nigerian entrance
examination for tertiary students), so a
graduate will do better,
ME: *****i looked at myself and thought,
“chaiiii, small stature na bad thing oooo, see I
no look like graduate ?”***** smiled, I’m a
graduate maa.
MADAM: really?, oooohh, pls I am so sorry for
the embarrassment, so sorry please, u look
very young, please come
in please. she ushered me into the living room.
The interior of the room is a nice one, a
colourful design and nice set of furniture. I sat
on the chair and she sat down opposite me.
MADAM: I’m sorry once again
ME: its not a problem ma
MaDAM: which state are you from?
ME: Edo
MADAM: how old are you.
ME: ****felt embarrassed*** 23
MADAM: 23? Then what age did you graduate?
ME: 21 , Maa
MADAM: ***smiled*** u must be a genius, I
like that. So let’s get to business. My first
daughter janet is 19, she failed her last jamb
attempt, so she is writing another one, so u
will teach her physics, chemistry and math,
least I forget. What’s course did you read?
ME: chemistry, Maa
MaDAM: then you should be able to do well
then,
ME: ok ma, ***i looked at the photo on the
wall directly in front of me, it was that of a
very pretty young lady, she is fair and has a
big burst.
This must be janet,
********“chaiiiii, omo see boobbi****
MADAM: I also have a son, 12 in JSS 3, u will
be teaching him mathematics.
Me: ok ma.
MADAM: ********called someone by the
name “Sikira,” Sikira!!! , bring a bottle of coke
for me with a glass ******
A young girl appeared from the kitchen, her
dressing shows that she must be the house
maid. She is fair too but not like janet, she
must be in her early 20’s I guess, she has this
local inbuilt beauty, a nice dimple and an
average sized bosom. She served the coke and
when she turned around.
*******Chaiiiiiiii, omo see asssssssssss.**
******
Its that type like mercy johnson’s.
I sipped the coke and continue the discussion.
MADAM: that is my house maid, no tempt her
with your fine boy look oooooo,
ME: ok maa.
Madam: just kidding. So how much are you
charging me?
ME: *****thought for a while, viewed the look
of the house, the cars I saw outside*****
30,000 niara maa
MADAM: heeeeeeeee, why? I’m not employing
you to train her for cambridge. I will pay you
20,000 per month for the 2 children.
ME: ok maa
MADAM: let me give you a little rule. Don’t go
beyond academics with my daughter, I think
you understand what I
mean ?. If you do, I will send hired killers to
finish you
ME: ok maa,
*******so this woman is only
concerned about her daughter’s nyaash, what
about sikira?*****.
Excuse me maa, can I ask a question?
Madam: go ahead.
ME: please are the children around?! I want to
introduce myself to them
****in my mind, I want to see how janet
looks like in reality****.
MaDAM: janet’s gone to a friend’s birthday
party, gideon my son is sleeping inside. Maybe
when you start yours lesson, you will know
them
ME: thanks maa. One more thing please, I wish
