CRUSADER’S DIARY



PROLOGUE

My name is Victor, the only son of Dr Idris and Mrs Rose Solomon, though I have an elder sister called Favour who more or less became my best friend. This is a reflection of my growing up and I know everyone else had one. Some part of this story is made up while majority is real, so if anyone says he or she has the exact story as mine that’s totally false. My story is full of fun, pain and twists. Once again my name is Victor and this is my story.
BEGINNING
My family and I resided at an estate next to a barrack and as such I had lots and lots of affiliation and association with many barrack kids. At the age of 7years, I knew virtually all the names of movies (actually action ones), I could pronounce the tittle and names of movies but the other side to this was that I actually couldn’t read. I remember been spanked whenever I was told to do my homework because I saw it as been boring and a waste of time, rather I preferred to go out with the other kids in our estate and the barrack to wander into the bush to seem like we were on an adventure .We go into the bush to seem like we were on an adventure. We go into the bush to play Police and Thief, I loved this game because it helped me put into action all those cool things I watched in the action movies I watched, most especially that movie titled “Hard way the only way,” I loved that movie so much that I could keep watching it over and over again.

Well back to the story, so it happened on this particular day, that we set out as usual to play police and thief, we were eleven (11) in number, and we were to divide it into five people to act as thief and six people to act as the police, and trust me I made sure I was among the thieves, and the police were to chase the thieves until we were caught, on we were given time to go and hide. On my way back from school earlier that day, I had noticed some bushes we had not ventured into yet and I thought it cool to explore during the game when next we played. So immediately we were given a little time to escape I ran into a bush but definitely not to the direction of the bush I saw earlier that day (I was not that dumb then), so I won’t easily be tracked there, I climbed up a tree to watch how the others fared.

In about six minutes the remaining thieves had been caught and I was the only one remaining, they searched and searched the bushes but none of them saw me. For another ten minutes all the police and even the thieves joined effort to look for me, I was on the tree well-hidden and watched them all toil in vain, after sometime, I began to get bored so I decided to spice the game up, I came down Nicodemusly and purposely drew attention to myself . Immediately, they all turned and saw me and they ran towards me like the way Captain Jack Sparrow was always been chased.

CONTINUATION TWO

Then I came up with the idea of running towards the bush we had not ventured into. I purposely slowed down so that they could catch up and the moment they drew closer I sprinted into the bush, they followed also and chased me there, I hid at a corner in the bush to catch my breathe, I then observed a red-like stain on my shirt. I initially I had thought I had hurt myself until I looked beside me and saw a berry plant close to me , I picked it and smelt it, it scented nice, I had not tasted it before so I went ahead to taste it and it was very sweet, I went further to pluck many more to eat, some I kept in my pocket.
As this was going on, my friends seriously looking for me in this very strange bush, at a point they started to shout my name that I had won the game. I just smiled and continued eating my berry until I had gotten to my level of saturation then I stood up from my hiding place and called them. When they saw me, they rushed towards me but I didn’t run this time around because they had already conceded defeated, so I was already the winner of the game. When they got to where I was they saw my tongue and mouth very red and even my shirt was stained red, they inquired if I was injured, but I told them about the fruit I had just eaten, they looked at the fruit and tasted and it and it seemed like they liked it too, they all started to pick the fruit but the most aggressive plucker was Sule who was the food monger amongst us all( we once heard he ate half of the food his mum was cooking while it was still on the stove and very hot). He was just rushing and plucking hurriedly so he would pluck the most and in the process scattering some bushes close to the berry plant, even when I cautioned to take it easy so that he doesn’t destroy the plant but it all fell on deaf ears as he continued to still rush the plucking. All was going well until I heard a sound, maybe you guys can guess what the sound I heard was; it was a hissing sound. I called the attention of the others to the sound I just heard, they stopped to listen save for Sule was the last to stop because he wanted to pluck more. We traced where it was coming from until we looked at a bush close to where Sule was and there they were, two big snakes staring at us and hissing , it seemed like they were angry for disturbing them( I still think those snakes were mating) because they hissed repeatedly. It was at that moment that I remembered the scene that played in the movie I just watched the previous night, “ANACONDA.”

EPISODE 3: Double Wahala


Immediately, we didn’t need an umpire to shoot a gun to alert us to take off at the same time, ironically we ran in the same direction, (wetin I chop were I no give my leg that day), I ran like mad, we were struggling to overtake each other and the farther we went the more it seemed like the hissing was getting nearer or was it my mind playing tricks on me? All the same it gave me extra motivation to run like hell. The most surprising thing of all was that the fastest among us was the big bellied Sule, he was the one in front and I was closely behind him. So it meant that Sule was the one leading and we all followed any way he followed so we don’t get missing. Instead of running towards home we were running further into the bush. We started seeing giant trees. As if Sule couldn’t lead us any more into trouble, we rushed into a camp where soldiers were doing their training, we tried to rush back but very loud baritone voice sounded like thunder, STOP THERE!! as if my movie filled- brain couldn’t think of anything else it recalled how soldiers dealt with people in that movie titled “NAM ANGEL”, then the final straw that broke the camel’s back was when the same mean-looking soldier thundered; SO YOU KIDS ARE THE ONE STEALING FROM OUR CAMP ABI ?. And guess what; that was in the year 1996 (THE DREADED REGIME OF GENERAL SANI ABACHA). I just fainted as the soldier came close to us and I was the one in front now.

To be continued...

EPISODE 4: KARMA

From the previous episode I know most of you will be expecting that I and my friends will get a very tough time at the hands of the soldiers. Well I am so happy to tell you that we didn’t suffer at all, and if you are surprised why we didn’t get tortured, it is because I woke up from my dream. Yes, it was all a dream. I had just woken up from my afternoon siesta after returning from school, as I woke up from this dream I was busy pondering on what day mare (if that word exists) I just had when I heard a knock on the door, I rushed to answer it, whole and behold it was Sule and my remaining friends who I just had a bad dream about. That moment my mouth was left open in shock when Sule told me to come let us go and play police and thief, the dream came back to me fresh and clear.
The next day was Friday, I woke up at my usual 4am and did my morning routine, I know you guys might think my morning routine was to sweep, wash plate or any house chores, well I didn’t believe in doing those because I thought it was girls work and a waste of time for boys. How wrongly I must have thought that day because I sneaked as usual to the parlor to watch the movie “WHO AM I?” acted by Jackie Chan, remember those olden days video cassette, yes, that is what I used to play the movie and my father knowing how much I loved movies bought that very high television stand so that my hand won’t reach it to play movie, but how wrongly he thought because he didn’t know that the small Jackie Chan he had at home used to pile up the parlor stools on each other so that my hand could reach it. But on that day, it seemed karma had special plans for me, I piled up the stools as usual and climbed to insert the cassette and that is when it happened. The stools shook and I fell towards the tv stand and since it was on a glass layer, everything fell, glasses were broken and I fell down pretty hard and even had a glass pierce my lap, I screamed my lungs out and my sister who was in the kitchen rushed in first and on also seeing me she screamed and ran to inform my parents. As for me I was already saying my last prayer because if my parents don’t kill me the pain I felt from the fall would. So my parents rushed to the parlor and contrary to the beating I was expecting to receive as typical of the African parent, I saw my parents cry and hug me and checking my well being. My father rushed to get his car key and carried me like I was a baby (of course I was his baby), he took me into the car and zoomed off to the hospital we had in the quarters, I had never seen my dad drive so fast before, in my stupid mind my dad was James Bond and I was the hostage kid he had come to rescue and we were been chased by the boss people.
I was snapped out of my imagination back to the reality of what was happening, when I saw nurses rushing to carry me into the hospital. I was stitched with an iron-like thread (till today I still don’t know what that was), the funniest part was that I was truly in serious pain until the nurse told my dad, won’t be able to go to school for about a week after my dad had asked if I would be fit to go to school that same day, when the nurse said I won’t be able to I almost jumped up to hug her but wished she had rather said I won’t be able to ever go to school again. With the latest development the pain I was in vanished and what was the reigning dance step that time self? AWILO, I was dancing Awilo better than the Awilo Lokomba himself, but it was all in my mind, an involuntary smile escaped my face and my dad saw it and shot me a scornful look, I immediately recomposed myself and feigned a painful look. My dad knowing I was enjoying the latest news and wanted to get back at me came up with a trick.

Baba continue, me dey ya back

EPISODE 4: CONQUERING FEAR


My dad knew very much how I feared injections and he probably wanted to deal with me so he told the nurse that shouldn’t I be given at least some injections to stop the pain since I still looked like I was in deep pain. I immediately developed a lump in my throat as I couldn’t say anything or protest that I was fine, the nurse looked at me and concurred that if I was in deep pain then she would of course give me like three injections, the shock of three needles piercing my buttocks was so much that I didn’t know when I nodded my head up and down and the next thing I heard was the nurse calling a fellow nurse to prepare the injections for me, it was at that point that the soundtrack of “TERMINATOR” part one started playing in my head. As the nurse brought the injections and the ampoule, I was already shivering like water leaf, then the nurse did the scariest thing a nurse could probably do, she put on a grin face and started beating the mouth of the injection and shooting out the liquid from the injection. I was so scared and it was as if I was going to die, then Love walked in through the door. Let me just say it, no one will ever love you the way your mum or sister will, (there is difference between mother and mum, you should know by now), mum just walked into the ward and immediately she saw me shivering with fear she stopped the nurse, but dad insisted I be injected so I can heal quickly and stop the complaint of pain, in my mind I was like who told this man I complained, infact, when did I complain to anybody? Dad insisted so mum said the nurse should change the needle to a smaller one so that my buttocks doesn’t hurt me. So the needle was changed and mum held my hand and started giving me pep talk, I looked towards Favour and saw her smiling sheepishly (oh yes she smiled, because she warned me not to watch film in the morning) as if she was saying “good for you, God done catch you today”, I turned back to my mum looked her in the eyes and I just absorbed all that she was saying about how she loved me and will be by me so I shouldn’t fear. That moment I became charged up didn’t know when I shouted “CHARGING!!” to the bewilderment of everyone present, the nurse warned me not to tighten my buttocks hence the needle will break inside, this reduced my charging but I was encouraged and fearless. I dusted the three injections without fear, I then tried to drop my leg on the floor, pain had gone slightly and I was happy, everyone hugged me and I was feeling like the most beloved child in the world. The nurses laughed at me and I became shy, they started calling me Bobo, till this day that name stuck.


TO BE CONTINUED....

EPISODE 6: KARMA WAS NOT DONE YET

I was at home for one week, no going to school just sit in the parlor and enjoy as mum made sure I lacked nothing, Favour became tired of my constant whining and complaining because she became my errand girl in the house, she even washed my clothes which was something she had vowed not to do for me again but here she was doing it and she was even asked to bring food to me whenever food was prepared. Dad bought suya and yoghurt for me whenever he returned from work, the down side of my indoor arrest was that I couldn’t go out to play with my friends again but they still came around to keep me company after they returned from school. Mum made sure my food was much and it had three meats on my food, an honor I enjoyed only legally during the Christmas season or illegally was when I was opportune to dish my food myself from the pot and I usually buried meat at every layer of rice I dished, I do put two meats under the rice then put one on top of the rice. But as they say nothing lasts forever and everything good must come to an end, my one week of love showering was over and it was time to pay the price of the TV stand I broke which culminated in the destruction of the video player.
The following Sunday we all went to church and as the jagaban one among the boys we were the head of affairs in the children church, I would be given ₦20 then for offering, I will drop the ₦20 in the offering basket and since I was the one collecting the offering I would take the remaining change of ₦15 meaning I gave God ₦5 and would go and buy zobo ₦5, sweet ₦5 and speedie biscuit ₦5. This used to be my normal routine, but on this Sunday karma remembered my case and was not done with me yet and had only taken one week break on my matter. After offering time I went out with my ₦15 as usual to buy my normal junk, on my way back as I was sipping the zobo and biscuit, I was supposed to follow the normal short way to the children church instead I followed the longer route that goes through the corridor of the adult church, I did it because I wanted to finish what I was eating before getting there so I don’t get to share with the other boys in the children church. How I wish I had just gone that way, as I followed the other route I wasn’t looking forward and I bumped into someone and my zobo spilled on the person wearing white agbada, I looked up whole and behold it was my dad, the whole world froze and I just wished the ground would just open up to swallow me..

Episode 7:Big sin big trouble

I could swear that I saw smoke coming out from my dad's ears, the look on his face could force Abacha to run from Aso Rock. My dad pulled me up with one hand immediately and the next place I landed was at the passenger seat of my dad's car, he put on the seat belt for me and put on the car and drove out without taking his bible from the church or my mum and Favour. As we were driving, I noticed that we were going home, the moment I asked him why we were going home without my mum and Favour, I got the dirtiest and most prolific backhand slap in history , I immediately got temporal blindness, couldn't see but only could hear the sound of the breeze outside and the sound of car horns close to us sounded like echoes that were afar off. Immediately I was getting my sight back dad gave me another slap, this time it had more effect than the other because I couldn't open my eyes until we got home, when he parked the car he came around and carried me like I was a tiny baby, he took me into the house and gave me another slap this time around instead of losing my sight my eyes got opened and I could see him clearly. He gave me 15 strokes of cane( yes we had a cane at home, who wouldn't when you have a child like me) and told me to change my cloths, he did same and we went back to church . By the time we got to church , they were already sharing the Grace in fellowship, dad just went inside and came back later with his bible ( that was when no one dared to steal in church try it Now and see If they won't swerve it for you watch Stolen bible if you think am lying) and my mum and Favour . My mum and dad could be seem from afar off and I could detect  her asking why he was dressed differently from what he wore earlier and he told her I spilled Zobo on him, mum came and we drove off.

On our way home, as if there was nothing else for Favour to ask she asked the forbidden question, the question I was avoiding all day( some siblings can be so annoying they will just do some things Or ask a question in the presence of your parents so it could put you in trouble , yes I know you understand ) she asked where I got the money to buy the zobo and what I was eating in church. That was the question that made the car to make I screeching sound and she continued 'hope its not your offering money you used?' As if it was rehearsed, mum and dad turned back at the same time to look at me and I didn't need to talk because my guilty face already gave me out, I became like a mouse cornered, their looks blaring on me like Superman's heat vision on my body. Next thing I know I saw my mum step out of the car and move towards the bush. Minutes later I looked and saw my mum coming out with plenty canes as if she was going to cook with firewood that day, the car boot was opened and all the canes were dropped inside, then mum came inside the car and we headed home .

To be continued....

EPISODE EIGHT

Reward for actions

That Sunday when we got home everyone behaved like everything was okay save for me who knew nothing was alright at all, something fishy was going on and I had already loaded my buttocks with books so the pain would be lessened.

But mum served food as usual and I had four meats this time that utterly convinced me that all was okay, so as we ate mum used style and joked to ask me which uncle gave me money.

I replied her that no one gave me money, that it was my offering.

I honestly didn't know when that came out, but too late to take it back.I had used my used mouth to condemn myself.

After eating we rested for 30 minutes, then mum told me to go and have my siesta. I went into my room and in about 15 minutes I was fast asleep. And this was the time karma perfected it revenge on me like a flood. I slept off around 2 pm and by 3 pm I received  a stinging cane on my neck. You know that kind of feeling you get when someone beats you to drag you outta your dream world, especially when its a sweet dream.  I woke up angry to see my mum with a very long cane from the lot she plucked earlier , she landed another two in quick succession and I knew this wasn't a dream but real I rushed towards the door and as I reached to out to open the door my dad sent me back with two hot slaps, I looked and saw him with two canes and he held it like he was Kratos in god of war. He came in and locked the door and kept the key in his pocket . My mum attached from the back and dad attacked from the front.

The rest is history because they beat me black and blue and am sure the demon that was casted and it remained casted out till today. After that beating I was the one discouraging my friends and partners in crime in church to give their full offering .In fact I called 3 witnesses whenever I was dropping my offering. Hallelujah!!

This is a short update, I will update when am free in the office.

BACK TO SCHOOL

After all my ordeal at home for the past
weeks, I resumed school which was my worse
nightmare, I remember always asking my dad
everyday if that day was school and most
times he told me yes, only on few occasions
did I get a negative answer and cherished it
like ice cream.
I went to school on Monday, and most of the
people I saw were empathizing with me, some
said rumor had it that the glass half pierced
my head , some where looking if I had a
bandage on my head. Some said I died and
others said I won't be able to walk again if I
survived, Thomas, my friend was gisting me , i
started casting and binding come see back to
sender prayer, before we heard the sound of
the bell for assembly. I rushed to my class to
drop my school bag and hurried to the
assembly ground .
As I reached the assembly ground I saw
everyone standing still and I tried to rush to
my line, I observed that a lot of eyes were on
me, then I saw a teacher wearing khaki whom
I had never seen before standing on the
podium.
I heard him shout ' who is that rascal and
ragamuffin who doesn't know how to respect
the National anthem? Come up here .'
Everyone was looking towards me and I was
looking round for who the man was talking
about. Then he pointed towards my direction
and that was when I realized I was the one
the man was referring to, I was the one in
deep soup after the one week of pain and
torture.
When I got to the front of the assembly I
looked back like Lot's wife, I just agreed that
teachers tried to be able to stand before all
this students with all eyes on them , I
immediately changed my ambition of wanting
to be a teacher which I wanted to be so that I
could flog people.
I was brought back to reality of the occasion
at hand when the teacher sent for a desk so I
would lay on to receive the flogging, that was
the fate I dreaded most in that school.
I didn't have the chance to stuff books in my
knicker to lessen the pain, and even if I could I
won't , after seeing what befell the last boy
that inserted a textbook during a flogging and
when the teacher flogging discovered he was
wiped beyond the 6 strokes he was supposed
to receive .
The stage was set for my execution, yet it was
an execution to me because the series of
beatings I had received within 2 months was
enough to make a cow become obedient and
disciplined.
The teacher told me to lay down and he
inspected to make sure I wasn't putting on
jean or any object to ease the pain. What
could I possibly put when I hated wearing eve
pant during that time, meaning I was only
putting on the school uniform without any
other clothing under. I looked round and saw
the pity look on the faces of the other pupils.
They were looking at me as though i was
about to be beheaded, the face I saw that
encouraged me not to cry no matter the
beating was the sorry look on my crush's face
( yea, I had a crush on a female classmate
whose name was Shade), she was having a
tear running down her cheeks , I felt loved at
that time .
The next sound I heard was the sound of a
whip, I didn't feel any pain so I looked round
to see who had been flogged.

EPISODE TEN : MORE TROUBLES

The teacher had a shock look on his face likewise the same look was on the faces of the other pupils on the Assembly ground, I didn’t know when I busted into laughter and the rage and shock on the teachers face was priceless in no time the other pupils started laughing and hailing me. The teacher told them to shut up and told me to lay down again. As i laid down to receive the remaining strokes, that was when the Headmistress came out of her office to find out the cause of the noise only to see the teacher about to flog me.

Hey! Mr. Williams, I heard her call out. So that was even the teacher’s name, she told him to stop that no matter what I did he should let me go that I have not been well for about a week.

That was what saved me, and as I was going back to my line I was hearing little whispers of hailing and even shook hand with a few students that I didn’t even know before, my walking step was changed and I was forming one boss like that with my walking step.

The Headmistress gave the necessary announcements, which I was not even interested to hear again. The Assembly was dismissed and we were supposed to march to our various classes. As I was marching to my class, I saw Mr. Williams frowning at me and pointing. I didn’t even care, as far as I was concerned I had already won and nothing he did was of interest to me.

I got to my class and was greeted and welcomed warmly by my classmates and even students from other classes like Primary 3B. Despite all this greetings I didn’t see Shade, I was busy looking out for her but didn’t see her. The form mistress came into the class and we had to settle down, that was when i saw Shade walk into the class without looking towards my direction .

I was confused, was this not the same girl that was crying when i was been flogged . Chai ! but girls can be complicated sha. I made up my mind to see her during break time.

Throughout the first period three periods before break time i was just staring at her and didnt know when my seatmate Thomas touched me and i found my self shouting death and the teacher asked the class to clap for me , i was very surprised because i was mad at at Thomas for jerking me out of my reverie when i was staring at Shade and out of frustration and anger tried to threaten him with,
shey death dey worry you bah? and that "death"was the loudest , unknown to me that that was the last answer to the question the teacher had asked in the class. She asked about the characteristics of living things (MR NIGER D).

When i realised what had just happened i smiled, and the teacher said 'Victor, why does it seem like you have become brighter after the accident' and the whole class busted out into laughter, i just smiled and looked towards Shade but she didnt even turn talk more of laughing to the joke everyone was laughing to.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
BREAK TIME

It was break time and I was fast enough to rush to Shade's seat, I was able to cajole Ruth who was Shade's friend and seatmate to allow me sit down and I looked at Shade; she still had this moody face on and I asked what was wrong, she hesitated to say anything but I no free oooo...

I persisted till she stood up and went out of the class, I was feeling jilted and frustrated but Thomas came to me and told me that she might be probably mad at me because of the accuse and I was perplexed if that was the case for her behavior, how can that make her angry, abi no be my body wound?

I just went out with Thomas and my friends to buy snacks but by the time we gig there the fish pie had been sold and I didn't like the buns because it was too oily. My mood became fouled and just walked back to the class without goind to play with the others as u usually did.

When we got to the class I just saw a leather in my desk and when I brought it out, it was fish pie and a note attached to it.

Who could it be that dropped this for me ?

EPISODE ELEVEN: SILVER LINING AT THE END OF THE STORM


I was surprised seeing the letter and since I wasn’t too fluent in my reading
I just folded it and kept in my bag, I looked round but no one was looking at me,
so I just joyfully ate it, if na winch wan initiate me na their business, I was more
concerned with the hunger that was ravaging my stomach.


The bell for break over was rang and the others came into the class. Nothing
really special happened throughout until school closed, after all my belle don full I no
send anybody again.

I normally told my dad that I would stay for extra lessons after school, so I would
collect money for the second break but Favour didn’t know about this sha if not she would
blown the whistle on me since if I messed up or disobeyed her. But I hardly stayed for lesson
except for days I wanted to purposely dodge work at home.

So I just calmly walked towards the school bus that usually took us home when I saw
Shade, I called out to her but she ignored me and went into the bus. I thought I wouldn’t
get space to sit down again as it was filled up even Shade that entered before me had to squat
with one of her friends, I already made up my mind to stand throughout the drive home. When
I heard a sweet voice call my name, I didn’t turn at first but when I heard it again I turned to
see a very beautiful and charming girl, let me digress a little there, you guys know the Indian
girl that acted Don part 1 and 2, what is that her name again? Priyanka Choprah , this girl is just
like the junior version abi model of her. I didn’t believe that such kind of girl was in this school
and I didn’t know. What have I been doing in this school sef, its not like the book I am coming
to school for sef am knowing it.

So back to the story, I came back from my dream land when I heard her telling me to come
and sit down on a space beside her, it was as if she had reserved that seat for me, I thanked
her and sat down feeling like a celebrity to be able to sit close to a fine girl like this, so people
now keep seat for me. I turned back and my eyes met Shade’s eyes ogling over us and I decided
to teach her a lesson. So I struck up a conversation with the beautiful girl, she later told me her
name was Victoria and I told her she was lying, I refused to believe that Victoria was her name,
I didn’t believe until she called another girl who attested to the fact, and I was like, “waoh! so Victor
meets Victoria” and she smiled, oh my God! See fine, white dentition, that kind of smile that can turn
your night into day, turn your head upside down, this girl was way over the rest girls I have seen in
school and even in church .

I continued bringing up interesting topics during the drive home and I used style to look towards
Shade who was vehemently burning with rage, like I cared.

So we got to a junction and the driver stopped so that children from that estate can alight, and
that was Victoria’s junction and she told me she stayed at Livingstone estate, which had one other
estate between hers and mine, we said our goodbyes and she went off. I relaxed well and smiled but
I was shoved sideways on my seat and I turned to see Shade beside me and she looked at me and
asked what I thought I was doing?

blown the whistle on me since if I messed up or disobeyed her. But I hardly stayed for lesson
except for days I wanted to purposely dodge work at home.

So I just calmly walked towards the school bus that usually took us home when I saw
Shade, I called out to her but she ignored me and went into the bus. I thought I wouldn’t
get space to sit down again as it was filled up even Shade that entered before me had to squat
with one of her friends, I already made up my mind to stand throughout the drive home. When
I heard a sweet voice call my name, I didn’t turn at first but when I heard it again I turned to
see a very beautiful and charming girl, let me digress a little there, you guys know the Indian
girl that acted Don part 1 and 2, what is that her name again? Priyanka Choprah , this girl is just
like the junior version abi model of her. I didn’t believe that such kind of girl was in this school
and I didn’t know. What have I been doing in this school sef, its not like the book I am coming
to school for sef am knowing it.

So back to the story, I came back from my dream land when I heard her telling me to come
and sit down on a space beside her, it was as if she had reserved that seat for me, I thanked
her and sat down feeling like a celebrity to be able to sit close to a fine girl like this, so people
now keep seat for me. I turned back and my eyes met Shade’s eyes ogling over us and I decided
to teach her a lesson. So I struck up a conversation with the beautiful girl, she later told me her
name was Victoria and I told her she was lying, I refused to believe that Victoria was her name,
I didn’t believe until she called another girl who attested to the fact, and I was like, “waoh! so Victor
meets Victoria” and she smiled, oh my God! See fine, white dentition, that kind of smile that can turn
your night into day, turn your head upside down, this girl was way over the rest girls I have seen in
school and even in church .

I continued bringing up interesting topics during the drive home and I used style to look towards
Shade who was vehemently burning with rage, like I cared.

So we got to a junction and the driver stopped so that children from that estate can alight, and
that was Victoria’s junction and she told me she stayed at Livingstone estate, which had one other
estate between hers and mine, we said our goodbyes and she went off. I relaxed well and smiled but
I was shoved sideways on my seat and I turned to see Shade beside me and she looked at me and
asked what I thought I was doing?

EPISODE TWELVE : NEW TURN OF EVENTS

I asked her what she meant and she said what I was discussing with Victoria
that was making us laugh to disturb everyone in the bus and I replied that we
were just getting to know each other and she said;

Didn’t you see the fish pie and note I dropped in your bag during the break?

And I answered her that that I didn’t know it was from her, I then told her thank
you and that I thought it was an offering from an angel from heaven.

I then adjusted my sitting position and faced the window, after a few minutes I heard
a little scoff and I turned to see Shade crying and I asked what was wrong? She said
I was the cause and I asked her how I was the cause.

She said I wanted to kill myself and leave her behind (this one just weak me), she said
what was I thinking when I went to climb our TV stand. I understood her and made her
realize that it was the stool I climbed and not the TV stand as rumor had it in school. She
then asked how I was able to dust Mr William’s flogging.

Well, to make her happy, and feel better I told her it was because I was staring at her and
the tears in her eyes made it possible for me to dust the cane, but as usual she denied that
she didn’t cry that it was something that entered into her eyes then, in my mind I was like
see this girl ooo, I just dey talk make she feel herself na him she want use am claim iron lady.
Me I knew better than to argue with her already.

Her estate was the next, so when we got to her junction she alighted. The next estate was mine,
so I alighted and rushed home when I discovered that there was light. You know that kind of joy
you will just feel when you are coming back from school then and see light from afar, you will just
develop one extra strength even if you are feeling weak from school.

The next day was Tuesday, my mum dressed me up and my dad was to drop I and Favor in school
(Favour had not been able to go to school for more than a week because of my accident, and she
was in Primary 6). My dad gave Favour ⋕100 for our break, but Favour wanted to give me up on ⋕30
so she could keep ⋕70, I saw it as cheating, na who no wise, me were sabi money pass anything, I
wasn’t going to be cheated by her.

So Dad dropped us off and we entered the school by 7:15 am we could be seen arguing as usual like
cat and rat. We continued with the argument until I heard my name and I turned back to see Victoria
walking towards me from the assembly area, my sister saw that as a window and escaped, I was turn
in between pursuing her and waiting for the pretty Victoria. Favour’s case could wait but this pretty lady
won’t. So she caught up with me.

Hello handsome, she greeted,

I was beginning to feel butterflies in my stomach, but I composed myself and wanted to joke up my mood,

Sorry my name is Victor, I replied with a faked serious face

She laughed and said I was very funny, I succeeded in putting a smile on face and lighting up my mood as
well, so I continued;

Hey Aphrodite, how you doing this morning, (na for inside film I hear the word so I just decided to use it
and thank God it made her laugh more). She smiled back and replied that she was doing great.


I was just praying in my mind that she didn’t see my drama and hear my argument with Favour over money,
but it seems that was an impossible prayer because she busted my prayer bag when she continued ;

hmm! Is that why you were arguing with a lady? Or don’t you know how to be a gentleman? She said,

In my mind I was like, me a gentleman? And i countered;

That is no lady, she is my sister and the argument was necessary, i replied and ended
with a smile to cover the shame I was feeling.


And she was oh! Sorry I didn’t know senior Favour was your sister, no wonder now I know
where you got your good looks from. Actually, I never knew she was your sister, I thought
she was probably my competitor, she added.

It rang a bell in my head and I replied her if she was in competition with anybody? And she
just smiled and told me that wasn’t it too obvious?


We were still gisting and walking slowly when we heard the bell for assembly and the memories
of the previous day just flashed through my mind, instead of risking my luck today I just pulled
Victoria towards the assembly ground to avoid another story that will touch the heart. And thinking
of the devil, I looked towards the assembly ground and saw Mr. Williams staring blank at me, and
I was like, what have I done to this man again.

Victoria then told me I was the only person that the man didn’t get his way with and as such feeling
embarrassed by the way and manner the Headmistress stopped him the previous day from flogging
me.

When she finished, I just smiled at him widely, I soon discovered I wasn’t with Victoria again so I
turned and saw her on the queue meant for Primary 5, it was then it dawned on me that I didn’t even
know her class before now. Chai! I was losing my sense of coordination ooo.

I was still basking in the euphoria of having a senior crush on me when Mr. Williams called out;

Mr. Victor, come and pray for us,

I honestly wasn’t expecting that and I was a very shy person, how would I face this vast crowd
to pray for them? Am not Moses.Mr. Williams thought he was falling my hands because he was
vividly smiling at me, I knew at once that this man must not succeed in disgracing me in front
of the whole school. So a thought crossed my mind and I started the prayer like this.

EPISODE THIRTEEN: WAR


I started with the Lord’s prayer after which I became bold enough and I gave a good prayer, yes, a good prayer (the one you give knowing it has been answered already) and in this case Foiling Mr. William’s planned disgrace for me was the perfect answers. I finished praying and I just walked majestically to my line, I didn’t need to look back to know that he was definitely boiling inside, I mean like I could vehemently feel his burning gaze on my back.

I went back to my line amidst whispers from other students calling me “pastor or pastor pikin” , I just smiled and looked towards Victoria to meet her smiling back with a stylish thumbs up to me, I turned towards the girls queue and met Shade’s face seriously frowning at the smile exchange between I and Victoria. I was like; wetin dey worry this one sef? Shey I can’t smile with another person because of you neh?
Assembly was over and we all marched to our classes.

When we got to class, Shade didn’t waste time before she came at me;

What is wrong with you? She barked at me to the amazement of our classmates,

What exactly are you talking about I replied her calmly (I switched to English too since that was the level we were rocking this morning), I was trying to be a gentle man like Victoria had said earlier.

She then continued to rant at me, what do you even think you bare? You this small boy, you act like an idiot and you are still too stupid.

She went on and on blasting me amidst questions from few of our mates what was wrong, with each insult majority of the other students would laugh and mock us as couples just fighting. They wanted me to talk back or beat her up to show I was the man. I must confess, that I was barely holding myself back from dishing her a resounding slap, but am still surprised till date that I was able to compose myself despite the pressure.

When she saw that I didn’t respond to any the insults, she pushed me and jacked up my shirt. The class was becoming rowdy as many people came to see the fight, funny enough I didn’t say any word or fight back? ( which is totally unlike me, typical me would have super punched her like Roman Reigns if she was a boy, well I guess I was becoming a gentleman then) We were separated, but she took my school bag and flanged it out of the window, that increased the noise as everyone the noise as everyone thought I would react but I just calmly walked towards the door, it seemed like the more I didn’t respond to her the more it angered her.

She took it a step further when she took a pencil and attacked me with it, I was injured on my palm, that was when the Head mistress entered the class and pulled her away from me, the pain was too much that I looked at Shade and didn’t know when tears escaped from my eyes.

I was taken to the school dispensary while Shade was taken to the Headmistress’s office.
After my hand was bandaged in the clinic, Victoria rushed in hurriedly with a worrying look on her face and asked after my well-being, some minutes later my sister rushed in as well to see me and she saw Victoria, she calmed down and asked what happened, which I told her that I didn’t know what I did but made Shade to start throwing insults at me after which she proceeded to stab me with a pencil after she had thrown my school bag out of the window. My sister still didn’t believe what I said because she could never think that as close as I was to Shade, we could fight talk more of her injuring me with a pencil. A student brought my bag for me and I was summoned to the Headmistress’s office.

The Headmistress asked my well-being. After which she asked what transpired between I and Shade, and since it’s the norm in this women’s world it was believed that I must have been the one to have started the fight. And if there was anything I hated was to explain after a fight, so I just kept quiet and didn’t utter a single word.

Mr. Williams just started attacking me that I was a trouble monger and must have been the one to provoke the calm girl to make her react and attack me, I was just dumbfounded at the man’s show of stupidity to comment on what he didn’t even know about, I felt like strangling him there and then but I just kept my calm. He continued to bash me with words until the intervention of our form mistress who suggested we go to the class to ask those present since she knew I and Shade to be very close. So with that we all set out for the classroom.


The moment we entered the class, everyone greeted the Headmistress and other teachers present and then the moment the Headmistress asked what had happened in class to cause the fight, immediately the whole class became noisy as everyone was talking, I was just standing there looking and not able to hear anything because as there say ‘if everyone is talking, no one is talking’. Everyone wanted to say something and explain their own version of what happened. The noise was quelled and Ruth who is Shade’s seatmate was picked by Mr. Williams to explain what happened, she started stuttering and stammering as she narrated , she was actually twisting the story, na that day

I fear girls, some dey like like say them dey breathe air (so easily and effortlessly).
This girl lied that I was the one who started by provoking her but Ruth’s story was cut short by the ire and shutting down she got from the other students who accused her of supporting evil and lying to cover for her friend, Mr. Williams tried to shut them up but it just seemed to open their mouth even the more to say Ruth was lying. When I opened my mouth to say Ruth was lying, as if he was waiting for me to accuse Ruth of lying too, the man just gave me a dirty slap to shut up, that provoked Favor(my sister) who was sitting somewhere quietly watching what was happening, she attacked Mr. Williams with her own slap to the bewilderment of everyone present (I was always at loggerhead with my sister but never knew she loved me so much to stand for me like that, even when it was against a teacher, I honestly felt the love from her), I just smiled and Mr. Williams attempted the unforgivable sin, which is for anyone aside me to fight my sister, it was my birthright and na only me go use am.

So the Mr. Williams moved to attack Favor but I rushed him even with the injury on my palm I climbed on top of a desk and by the moment he slapped Favor( at least make she feel the kind slap were I collect top so she won’t yab me with it the next time we beef) . So as he landed the slap on her face I jumped on him and gave him a quick double slap on the face with so much in rage and anger.
