European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Pep Guardiola Makes Arsenal His First Choice In England by Oahray: 4:05pm On Dec 13, 2012
davidylan: Dear Lord, let this be true. Arsene pleae move to director of football so Guardiola can take over as our long term coach. Imagine being able to access young stars from the La Masia!
Has Arsenal ever lacked young stars? What they need is to stop selling them as soon as they mature.

I'd rather Pep goes to man city. Arsenal is apparently satisfied with just UCL qualification. Man city NEEDS a REAL coach. Mancini is crap!

"Left?" I did not understand.

"Her mother came to take her away today"

"Holiday?" I asked, confused.

Rachael had been with us the day before and she said nothing about holiday.

"I don't know o", mama replied in Esan. "but she might not come back".

Papa praised me that day and called me a true son of my father. It did little to cheer me up.

As I ate mama's rice that evening in silence and with an obvious lack of appetite, all I kept hearing in my head was mama voice.

Rachael might never come back.

Literature › Re: Patch Of Black by Oahray(op):
Next to monday mornings, I hated sunday evenings the most.

There was something indescribable about the unease that always settled on me at dusk on sundays. It was not unrelated to the fact that the next day was school. I hated that feeling, and no, it was not just a preferrence for weekends and holidays.

I hated school.

It had not always been that way though. It started in secondary school.

Throughout my primary school days, I was as carefree as a child my age could be. School was just an extention of my play hours and the holidays a bonus.

Most of us in my neighbourhood went to the same school.
In the morning, we would walk to
school in groups talking excitedly, in voices ranging from whispers to near screams, about anything ranging from the movies we watched last with our below-par power of understanding, to tidbits about football we happened to hear from others, to gossip featuring our neighbours or classmates.

Towards the end of the term, our individual holiday fantasies usually took centre stage in those discussions.
At the end of each term, we would be given our report cards to take home to our parents.
Depending on its content, parents would be impressed, shocked, surprised, angry or just plain embarrassed.

Embarrassed. That was exactly how I felt when Rachael asked to see my report card.
It was the third term of primary five. I had come third in the previous terms of that session. She never asked any of those times.

It was on a tuesday she asked. The day after I had collected it.

I had not gotten over papa's reaction yet.
Papa had settled down on his favourite chair and picked up the three report cards on the table.
Ehi had not yet started school.

He opened the first.
Aigbojie Usifo.

I gulped.

He turned over the pages containing the first and second term results.
His eyes darkened.

"Ojie"

"sah?"

"Is this not backwardness? You came third in first and second term and you came fifth in third term" he sounded far from pleased.

I was silent.

he picked the next.
Odion Usifo.
He turned a few pages, examined the contents of its pages carefully and nodded.

He picked up the last report card.
Akhere Usifo.
This time, he smiled.

Akhere had come first in their class and Odion came second.

He praised the twins and turned to me.

"Ojie"

"sah"

"Four persons passed you in your class. I am not happy at all. The person who came first, is he not a human being like you?"

"yes" came my timid reply

"I want to see a better result next time, is that clear?"

I nodded for lack of words.

Here was Rachael asking to see my result. The twins had shown her their results at our verandah and she promised them biscuits before turning to me.

I reluctantly granted her request. She studied each sheet carefully.
"Ojie, you tried, but its like you don't like maths."

I shrugged. As usual, I knew what to say to her but didnt know how to say it.

"Do you know what?"

I looked up at her.

"If you have anything you don't understand, come and show me. I want you to be first next time"

"ok" I heard myself say.

"That's my boy" she pulled me closer and gave me a side hug.

Of course I never brought her anything I couldnt understand. For one thing, I couldnt bring myself to. However, I started paying more attention in class.

It was a Monday this time, exactly a term after.
The twins had both fallen sick and Mama asked me to bring their report cards.

The sun was unusually hot that day, but that was not the reason I was walking home alone as fast as I could.
The sun was almost overhead, and I quickly invented a game of trying to step on the head of my shadow.
With sweaty hands, I opened my report card again, for the upteenth time.

The words: '1st out of 32' written neatly in blue ink, stared right back at me.

I wanted Rachael to be the first person I would see when I got home. I wanted to see the look in her eyes. I wanted her to smile at me, hold me close and tell me how proud she was of me.

Ehi was with mama in her shop when she saw me. She ran towards me, merry like a long lost friend. I bent down to embrace her. She wanted me to see her new doll. It was her first actually.

Mama and papa had never bought us toys.

I greeted mama and gave her the report cards.

A warm smile possessed her lips as she scanned through the trio.
The twins didnt disappoint. They had ruled their class once more.
Odion came tops this time.

Mama pulled me close and asked what I wanted to eat.

She didnt need to ask though. She knew more than anyone else my passion for rice.

Ehi sat on the floor playing with her doll, her little fingers twisting and turning its hair.

Mama read my thoughts.
"Rachael gave it to her before she left" Mama explained.
