| Pride Goeth Before A Fall: How The Most Beautiful And Proud Girl In My Class.... by Kalulu44(op): 7:16am On Feb 28 |
Hahahaha, One of the most hilarious event in my secondary school days. 1996, J.S.S 3 Ojo High School, Ojo Lagos State. We were preparing for our Junior Waec. In our J.s.s 3 C was one beautiful girl named Cordelia. Just saying she's beautiful is understatement. Cordelia was gorgeous, and I can bet she'll be among the top 5 in the whole school. Added to her beauty, she's intelligent and came from a privilege home. Her father is an importer in Alaba int'l market and from Imo state. But there was one thing negative about Cordelia, the beauty, the intelligent and the coming from a wealthy background got into her head. She wasn't humble. Cordelia was saucy, arrogant and boastful. She only had just one friend in the whole class of 52 students, and never talk or mingle with anyone else except rolling with S.S.2 & 3 peeps. By rolling with those seniors, all of us in her class are not her mate or in the same level. Guys and some girls had tried to make friends with her, but the snubbing is out of this world. She will berate and be little you and always let you know you're not in her level and if you tried to beat or threatened to beat her, she will send the seniors after you. Those ones will come like zombie and start punishing the person. Those were the time when students still respect their seniors, not now a junior student fit change am for senior especially if them don join that their mumu cult. . So bcus of this, everyone avoided Cordelia like a plaque. But there has been tension brewing between her and a girl name Shekinat sitting next to her desk. Shekinat, a Yoruba girl from Ibadan, Oyo state. Has always told her that one day she will beat her that she won't get the chance to go call her seniors boyfriends. Cordelia has always mocked her that it's bcus she's jealous of her beauty and intelligence. Then came the D-day, lunch break bell was rang and many students started walking out. Me being an introvert person, it's only football matters that can take me out as at then. So I stayed back in class and started re-reading An African Night Entertainment. A book I have read many atimes. I don't think we were up to 10 or 15 people remaining in class. So my head was buried in the book I was reading, when I heard the slap. I looked up and saw Cordelia just gave Shekinat a dirty slap. (Oya nah, the Royal Rumble fight we all have been waiting for has just started). Mehn! I dropped my novel and sat on top of my desk. Likewise other students in the class, (who wan go separate, something wey we all don dey wait for) Shekinat replied with her own hot slap and then the dragging of shirt and pulling each other back and forth began. Shekinat eventually overpowered her and pushed her hard backward untop of a desk and Cordelia flipped and fell to the other side raising her full gown up exposing only her pant. . Then everybody saw the unbelievable. Cordelia the most beautiful girl, wealthy, intelligent and proud was wearing a rainbow color pant that is torn in three different places exposing a slight of her [.....]. Like a rehearse and choreograph thing, almost everybody exclaimed! Hey, Cordelia tear tear pant. And the singing and chorus and clapping started: "Cordelia, tear tear pant." "Cordelia, tear tear pant." It got loud that it attracted other students passing our balcony and they all stopped and leaned on our window to watch the show. Shekinat herself couldn't help but was laughing. Meanwhile, Cordelia landed badly with her back and I guess the pain and shame didn't let her get up on time. And when she eventually did, she faced down with tears rolling down her eyes, walked to her desk, opened it and gently carry her bag and then walked out of the class. Some people still followed her singing behind her while me and others still in the class started discussing about what just down and we walked up to Shekinat who was by now sitted and calm. We stood her up and raised her hand singing "Winner oh oh oh" She was somehow shy but later received the accolades and said "let me see how she will go and call those seniors" All of us said "lai lai, dem no born am well" with this shame and humiliation, she no fit. Before long, those that escorted her came back and said she left the school and went home. She lied she was sick. . Before you know it, words had spread round the school about what happened. School closed we went home, the next day everybody was expecting her at school. We all want to check something, whether she go don mellow or still dey feel herself. Cordelia didn't come to school the next day. 1 day became a week, a week turn to a month and that's how Cordelia stopped attending our school. It was that her close friend who later hints us that Cordelia has been transferred to Owerri to go do her Waec. She said her parents told her so when she went to pay her visit, but no reason was giving for the change. Guys! Na so our beautiful Cordelia take vamose and carry her shakara comot for our miss, all thanks to Shekinat who exposed her unintentionally. Sometimes in life, God and nature have a way of dealing with people like. If you enjoy this story hit the like button and share your view. Have a lovely weekend ahead. Google Image

Humility is the best adjective for someone's characters. |

Man... girl fights used to give me so much joy back then! 🤣🤣🤣 The clothes getting torn was just part of the package. So you guys actually chased people’s girlfriends and weren't even scared? 🤣🤣🤣 Your class was trouble. If I had to guess, I’d say you were in the Art class. 😏 |

A similar case like that when I was in pry 6.. There was a particular girl in my class who was very boastful because of her size. She believed she could beat everyone in the class. She bullied Kunle and eventually challenged him to a fight. Kunle was lanky and small in stature. Our fight days were always on Fridays because we closed early and usually had spare time on our hands. When the fight day came and everyone gathered at the “arena,” Kunle surprised us. He lifted her up, and her torn pants became exposed. The embarrassment was too much for her, and she couldn’t continue the fight. After that incident, they gave her the nickname “pata gigan.” Although she continued attending school after the incident, she never bullied anyone in the class again. The incident really humbled her. |

Kalulu44:Art and Commercial are like sister classes, but we all know Art students get craze pass Commercial. I’m sure she’s still feeling the shame till now! 🤣 In my own class, nobody was forming 'proud.' We all vibed together and it was pure vibes. The only issue was the girls fighting over boyfriends—and I hated missing even one of those scenes. |

SpencerForbes:But do you know with that incident I learnt something. Till date I have noticed majority girls don't date their mate, and Cordelia going for senior boys made me understand. And to be frank with you, I am 45 now, if I want to date a girl, I can't go for my agemates. I will rather go 30 and below. If you see me and my agemates who are ladies, you will think they're my aunties or elder sister bcus nature really dealt with me. I'm tall o, but small in both size and face. |

Kalulu44:I think his mother's name is Zainab or something like that. E don te o. Where I loved most in the story is when the villain lost his eye to a powerful leopard or a witch kind off. Omoh I don read this book now since around SS1 or there about oh. |
| Re: Pride Goeth Before A Fall: How The Most Beautiful And Proud Girl In My Class.... by Kalulu44(op): 9:33am On Feb 28 |
femi4:Lolz! I had to come back and reply you. I missed talking about that "pata gigan" I just rmbr it and I just couldn't stop laughing my heart out. What the [....] Pata gigan hahahaha |

| Re: Pride Goeth Before A Fall: How The Most Beautiful And Proud Girl In My Class.... by Kalulu44(op): 9:36am On Feb 28 |
OKOATA:Lolz! You are right about Zainab being the mother of Kyauta. But the person who lost his eye and was supposed to have married Zainab wasn't the villain in my opinion. Kyauta and his stubborn father were the villain to me. The guy who lost his eye, I have forgotten his name was just seeking vengeance |
| Re: Pride Goeth Before A Fall: How The Most Beautiful And Proud Girl In My Class.... by Nobody: 9:39am On Feb 28 |
Kalulu44:Kalulu44, why you go for your mate na? 😂 You wan fall brotherhood hand. You’re really disappointing the brotherhood. This is why I pity guys under 30 who think they’re actually 'dating.' Use your 20s to hustle hard and stack up funds. By the time you hit 30, you can start dating 'freshers.' The peace of mind and respect you'll get is on another level. As for me, I already have a goal to become a Sugar Daddy by 45. Please, nobody should stop my shine! 🤣🤣🤣 |
| Re: Pride Goeth Before A Fall: How The Most Beautiful And Proud Girl In My Class.... by Kalulu44(op): 9:44am On Feb 28 |
SpencerForbes:Hahahaha, sugar daddy no bad jare. Like me I don born pikin finish. Two grown up boys and 1 black beauty girl. Wetin remain, na to dey knack under 30s dey go |

Hahahaha Normal children matter but honestly,dat tear tear part got me. Anyways,pride goes before a fall.Parents should raise their children to be respectful of others. Pride takes no one anywhere Kalulu44: |
| Re: Pride Goeth Before A Fall: How The Most Beautiful And Proud Girl In My Class.... by Kalulu44(op): 10:25am On Feb 28 |
CJStarz:True talk. If she had been humble and respectful, I believe she wouldn't have had a fight with the other girl and even if they eventually fought, we would have separated them and it wouldn't have gotten to that humiliation |

Let me drop mine here as well..... It was in Primary 3 aroud early 2000, we had this beautiful girl in our class, her parents were comfortable, but her pride was something else...... We usually carry food to school, swallow, akara or bread, sometimes even garri with sugar... But the girl usually make jest of us, that in their house they don't eat swallow, that it's only rice, chicken and salad.... So one fateful morning, she was running temperature, before U will say jack, this fine girl started throwing up, guess what she vomited, yellow eba with draw soup.... Close closed before time that very day... |
