Kudos dude Interesting story!!.

thanks boss

Ridwan1821:
Hmm. I pray you don't come out of retirement again bcuz d dough dey shook u for eye.

lol,time will tell

you are here for postume, the man in the middle asked, u answered in the affirmative. he then asked to see my printout, I gave him and I watched as he and three other men perused it. "you are a student of this school", that was the statement that struck me to the marrows,wait a minute, that wasn't a question, it was a statement. omo yawa don gas o,but I haven't come this far to quit,I simply answered yes,with a blank stare. he then asked," why are you here",seems the man in the middle is the boss, I told him,am a student of geography and I want to change department,since engineering has always been what I had in mind to study. he then asked for my school ID,hell no,I ain't giving that,I ain't even gonna
carry that for any illegal activity. told him the id is at home,he just smiled and proceeded to ask my questions concerning the details on my printout. trust your boy, I scaled through all of them with ease,questions ranging from name to jamb score, to jamb centre, to break down of jamb result, to start of origin and local government, boy I was on fire but........

he had an ace up his sleeve, in his hand was the broadsheet from jamb which does not have any form of photo id, but had every other detail, comparing the details with my printout and replies, all was legit except for the fact that the dude who came to call me was security personnel and am sure he would have told the invigilators he has seen my face in a lot of places which points to a simple fact, am in that hall as a MACHINERY but aside from his words, they didn't have any proof and I was banking on
that. he finally asked me a question I didn't have an answer to, "what is the name of your village", mehn I was dumbfounded because that information is not in the printout but it seems its in the broadsheet.

gotta think fast cos am on the hot seat, told the man, I don't know the name of my village because I was born and raised in Lagos, which is the main reason am schooling in awka, he then smiled and said," you are writing this exam for somebody ", I exclaimed with a big NO, then he witheld my printout and said the only way he will let me write the exam is if I go home and bring my school ID, I then complained about the time it will take me to go home and return back to the venue of the exam, he promised to give me all the time I needed.

chai naso I want take miss this sweet dough, I racked my brain as I walked outside, one mind told me to count my losses and disappear,since I still had time,but another told me to stick to my guns, challenges are part of the risk and running away would damage my reputation as a man that keeps his words. I quickly called my contact and appraised him of the current situation, he promised me he was on his way to the hall to squash the issue. I decided to hang out by the roadside so it will seem am waiting for shuttle, in case anybody was watching, a keke parked infront of me,I quickly waved it away but the driver barked" my friend enter here, make we go office ", looking closely, the driver is the security guy who called me from class, what the hell?? this dude is getting on my nerves, I angrily told him I was going home to bring my ID, since they had seized my printout. he was adamant about taking me to the office and I didn't show any sign of fear neither did I beg, I stood my ground and even flagged down a passing shuttle, all to prove I was leaving. I entered the shuttle and immediately, he drove away, I begged the shuttle driver to stop cos I forgot my money with a recharge card seller.

smart eh, 5 mins later, my contact drove in and I met him in front of the building. he asked me again what the issue is and I briefly explained the conversation I had with the men, he then told me to follow him inside. immediately the invigilators saw him, they greeted with familiarity and even exchanged banters, I breathed easy because the case us settled. he asked them to forgive my ignorance and even feigned admonishment towards me for refusing to take my culture and heritage seriously. it was settled and they promised to let me write, even though they held on to my printout. he told me to be calm, all has been settled and before the exam, they will give me the printout, I sighed as he drove away, my thoughts still on the security dude who could pick me out.

after a while, they instructed all of us to file outside, exam is about to start and once they call your name, you come up, show your printout and proceed to the seat already allocated to you. one part of my mind said, "perfect time to roll out bro, since you were not caught while exam is going on", the other said, " guy chill, you are a professional and fear shouldn't be in your mind"..... its a no brainer the one I will follow. I heard my name, went up, collected my printout from them and sat quietly in my allocated seat.

well suffice to say, I wrote the exam with one eye in the window, watching for the security guy. bros as I finished, quickly submitted, ran as fast as my legs could carry me while thanking God, went to pick up my dough and.........*lights out*

am retired for good o

Ridwan1821:
What an amazing story you've got @g
Gabbyraze. I came across with d story at night yesterday and since then, I have always been with my phone reading this story till I got to this page. Nice work, Oga you try when u dey school ooo.

Bros na God o, thanks for reading

I prepared adequately for the exam,of course it was kinda difficult because I had finished secondary school many years before. any which way,I was sure I could skin that cat without stress.
on the day of the exam,I had to meet my contact, the security personnel who is the uncle of my neighbor. met him at the gate,mehn the crowd was mammoth,bodies everywhere, I just smiled and looked for the man. omo na Toyota Camry he take pick me from gate o,I turn celebrity overnight.
he dropped me at new engineering building, which is the venue of the exam. the man instructed me to call him, in case of any eventuality.
I walked into the hall,saw a three men seated in front of the class with sealed papers and other documents,they were obviously the invigilators for the exam. I walked in,met a few people discussing, numbers were already written on the tables so I had to locate my seat. after a while,I went out to get airtime because I deemed it necessary to have some,because one has to be prepared for any situation.
immediately I got back into the class,someone tapped me and said,"the invigilators wants to see you outside ",I shrugged, walked out with him to the chair the invigilators occupied, with a blank mind.
what happened next shook me to the marrow

****to be continued******

Dedicated to collinometricx and xolocious

Imagine say monkey dey on his own, person come drop banana for im front, na to chop am, clean mouth and then lock up na, no time to waste time.

Early the next morning, i quickly sent Esther a text that they want to compile the results on that same day and after that day, no hope again. Sent the sms by 6.30am to show i have been working on her request, immediately it delivered, i got a call from her, she began by thanking me and asked how much it was, i told her its 6k, since i have to bring out her script and shade the correct answers for her. She then asked if she gives me by 4pm, will it still work? I affirmed and said the lecturer stays somewhere not too far and i already have the agent incharge on standby.

4pm came, we met in unizik junction, she quickly thanked me, gave me the dough, plus her details (names and reg number). I bade her farewell and watched her take a bike to her house. Oboy i just begin smile for road like mad person, see free 6k o. Thunder fire devil, quickly entered a record shop to get some albums and movies that have been meaning to buy coupled with some chicken...***grins****

It felt good to get back at Afam, even though it wasn't up to what i deserved, at least in my current broke situation, 6k na big money.

Buzo came to me one evening and said he has told his uncle about my willingness to write the postume and his uncle wants to meet me, i agreed to it and we booked the next day to go see his uncle in school. His uncle's office is located in VC's gate, a separate gate that isn't really used by alot of people, prior to that day, i had not been to that part of unizik but since Buzo was with me and it was a business meeting, i was cool.

We got there and i saw two men inside the office that is close to the gate, one looked very familiar, average height, dark, fierce looking. I remembered i had seen his face in my different sojourns of various exam halls, i just smiled as Buzo introduced me tho his uncle, a light, tall and pleasant looking man. He didn't have the stereotypical aura of a typical unizik security person but looks can be deceiving. The man asked me different questions, ranging from if i had done postume for someone before, to my department and level, to my general profile, trust your boy na, i gave false answers to all his questions, one should always protect his ass for any eventuality. After the Q and A session, the dark guy said i looked familiar but he cant pinpoint where he has seen or met me, i just smiled and gave the a very correct answer by telling him i had been to lots of exam hall and i have seen him a couple of times. He smiled and shook his head telling the other man, "this guy na correct guy".

We agreed on 25k and the man asked me for the possible range the candidate will score, i had to think fast because the funds na key for the matter, since the dept the guy is applying to isn't too intense, i gave a range of 65-70 score, based on the fact that from experience i knew that score can give him admission since he's an indigene of anambra state with an above average jamb score.

Admission in unizik is 60% jamb, 40% post Ume, this means that the higher your jamb score, the higher your chances. The guy i was to write for scored 226 in jamb, not too bad for materials and metterullugy engineering (MME), since the course does not attract lots of crowd.

The man was convinced and asked me for payment plan,before or after the exam. I chose after the exam because i didn't want to seem greedy, he then remarked that if i Bleep up in the business, i will have to return half of the pay or face dire consequences. I understood the latter because during clearance after graduation, every student of unizik must pass through security and those blood sucking demons can frustrate the life out of you if your name has been blacklisted for any conceivable reason. I wasn't perturbed by his veil threats since he doesn't know my full names, registration number or department.

We shook hands to seal the deal and me and Buzo walked off, back to our hostel.

Is this the final final of all hurdles or will I get caught in the mix again? Did the exam go as planned since its untested waters, do i have a reason to be scared?

FIND OUT!!!!

xolocious:
kudos to you bro. it's been awesome going through your life experience... Thanks for the update.

*in Shao Khan's voice* its pay back time

Lol...abeg who b shao khan again

By 12pm, i was in the bathroom when Ebuka knocked loudly on my door and yelled, "Azuka dem don start exam o", i was like, what?. Quickly cleaned off, wore my jeans and shirt,and ran out from my room, i asked Ebuka how he knew and he said, a friend called him. Damn, that sort of thing you throws one out of balance, all my permutations flew out of the window as i walked fast from my hostel to the junction, with hope that i will get bike. In the scorching sun, i walked on till i got a bike and quickly paid him to take me to ifite gate since they don't allow bikes in the school compound. Got to the gate, hopped on shuttle which took me to science village and by the time i located the hall itself, it was 12:30. Imagine been 30mins late for a 45 mins exam, seems like they started by 12:15, so i had small hope. Started shading Ebuka's details on the OMR sheet since its an objective exam.

Seemed it wasn't only me that didnt get the memo because more people were coming. The exam consists of 40 questions and i quickly shaded the correct answers on the OMR, careful enough not to mess it up lest the result might be withheld. 5 mins to the end of the exam, Esther came in and i was shocked. The invigilators told her she is was very late and might not do much, since the exam is almost at its end point but she was adamant. I just shook my head and wondered,'who in his/her right mind fails any GS course'. I was in number 36 when they signalled that the time for the exam has been exhausted and we should all leave the hall after submitting the omr sheet.

I was satisfied with what i did and walked out, only for Esther to call my name, i stopped briefly and greeted her, then asked why she came late and if she wrote anything tangible in the exam, to which she said no. I left after exchanging pleasantries.

********Flashback********

When i got admission, the first place i stayed while going to school was somewhere in Nodu village, an hostel called Savannah lodge. The hostel has alot of history from past years and at that moment, only guys stayed in the hostel. It was always fun, we spent long period of time gisting, playing football, drinking and just about any other form of debauchery one can think of. Afam was in engineering and he lived in an hostel close to ours, so he comes around often to seek for different things, ranging from food, matches, handouts or company. He was an ok guy and a chronic Chelsea fan.

When i started runs (200level), Afam was in final year and chizzy needed somebody to write alot of courses(both fresh and carryover) for one of our classmates. I told Afam about it and he readily agreed, 4k per course and it was almost 14 courses in total. Afam's girlfriend was one level behind me, same department and her name is Esther. He loved her so much, he was always asking me for information with regards to our departments and always took my past handouts and textbooks for her. Since she apparently wasn't good in maths, he helps her write her Mat courses.

Usually when somebody brings business for you, the person is entitled to some % of the pay, in this our game, its usually 1k per course. When we started exams, i had to give Afam my GS id card, which he removed my passport and affixed his own, gave him a copy of my school fees receipt also, this will aid him easy entry into the exam halls always. All through this period, Afam never gave me a dime, after exams, Esther was always by his side. I even left the documents with him since the person he's writing for has some 100 level carryover and i traveled after my own exams. I never got those documents again till i graduated.

I was surprised at Afam's action because he's a gamer and knows the deal yet he acted ignorantly in sidelining me that brought good business to him. I was really angry and even though there was no way i could pay him back since he had graduated, i didn't forget that event.

******end of flashback*********

2 days after the GS exam, my phone rang

Me: Hello

Unknown: Azuka, good morning

Me: Good morning, sorry who dey talk

Unknown: Na Esther jor, so you no get my number

Me: Ahh, no be so, e don tey na, how you dey

Esther: Am fine

Me: Afam nko, e don tey wey i hear from am

Esther: He dey asaba, i see am last weekend

Me: Ok, halla am for me o

Esther: Ok, Azuka abeg i get small problem

Me: What kind of problem

Esther: Na that GS course we write the other day, I no write anything o

Me: Ewo, that's bad o, na u Bleep up na

Esther: That's why i call you, shey runs dey for the course

Me: *sharply thought* na that day dem do am o, why didn't you tell me when we saw

Esther: I asked some people and nobody could help me, that's why I call u

Me: Ok, call me tomorrow evening,make i find out if the lecturer don mark am or not

Esther: Ok, thank you. Please help me ooo

Me: No wahala na, you be my person

After the call, i started thinking of the excuse i will give her the next time she calls since i dont have any connects for runs in the course, then her boyfriend's betrayal rared its ugly head and i smiled evilly as i saw an opportunity to get back at Afam.

dannybomb:
thanks for the update bro

U welcome Danny, another coming soon

lexaydfg:
I thought you said you were still going to update


nice story bro ..

No vex, between doing extra work and preparing for the week, I couldn't. Would update today, thanks

Am sorry guys, been a busy week for me. Would update again before the day runs out

That single action by blue made me realize she was just using me for selfish reasons. I decided to focus on myself and stayed away from her, no text,no calls, nothing. Remember this was exam period, i was hanging out with my hostel guys on one of those days when we had nothing to do. Buzo was in 200level, biochemistry, he is lean, tall, fair and handsome guy. Soft spoken, respectful and courteous but very unserious. His admission was straight forward, as an indigene of anambra state, they are given lower cut off marks, he also has a few relatives amongst the security personnel, high ranking members for that matter.

Education for him wasn't a strenuous activity. We got talking on this boring day and he remarked that he has observed me on a regular and since he feels am a brainy graduate, impersonating wont be a big deal for me. I was shocked at his assertion, i shrugged it off and said i had been in one or two exams here and there. He then said his uncle is looking for people who can write postume exams and the pay is cool. I replied him that i was out of the game and having pushed my luck so far, i didn't want to seem ungrateful to mother luck. He then said i have nothing to worry about, because his uncle will manipulate the postume form in such a way that it will have my photo but the original names and details of the jambite will remain, hmmmmm it sounded intriguing and i told him i will think about it.

3 days later, i came back to meet them chilling and discussing, i joined them after changing into shorts. Buzo had been telling them about our discussion and it seems like they had been sensing that my 'ways' weren't pure but they didn't know the real deal. I smiled and just said, yea i did runs and stuff but that was then, i didn't indulge anymore. They disagreed vehemently, each with different reasons why i shouldn't stop, Ebuka's own was what broke the camel's back. He said he has been looking for someone trustworthy who can help him with GS105(Humanities) carryover since the exam is clashing with one of fresh courses, but he doesn't have the cash for a typical runs man. It sounded tidy and stressless, since the course is very very easy and the exam usually don't attract the fierce looking anticult guys, i decided to come out of retirement, adrenaline was already buzzing, easy 2.5k for less than one hour wahala. I was all for it

The feeling of been inside an exam hall; the pressure of delivering, the taste of invincibility is out of this world. I didn't need to read it, i just asked him to get me past questions and i studied those with joy because its a very interesting course. Buzo kept asking me if i have made my decision in relations to the postume discussion we had and i decided to give in since i was out of retirement, why not add postume feather on my cap of numerous exams. He was very happy and said he will contact his uncle immediately, i said alright, whatever he says, let me know.

The day came for the GS exam, Ebuka said the exam is 12:30pm, and i calculated the time it will take from miracle junction to science village (venue), i figured if i left my house my 12:15, i will be there in time to sit unnoticed and get the job done, i was dead wrong.

gtin:
somebody pls call Gabbyraze tell him we need up ASAP

Av been in transit for the past 3 days,am sorry. Would be back fully tomorrow,thanks for understanding
