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.

JUNIOR WAEC IN 1996?

I thought junior WAEC started just in the early 2000s...

In 1996 u are already in JSS3. U should be in ur late 40s. This post, like all these Genz boys.

Jealousy was the problem your entire class had for Cordelia.

Due to her background, she was not used to street life and kept to herself.

But no doubt you guys did everything to draw her out and pull her down which made her to futher alienate herself from you lots.

Then again, students in commercial class were the dregs and I can't even understand how a so called super intelligent girl could be in that class.

No where did you mention any reaction from the school authority over the fight.

Razz people you all!

I hope sherifatu didn't end up an agbo seller and I hope Op has made something out of life at 45.

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
OP
You claim to have read the Book many times yet can't remember the Characters name?😏 sad sad

Well
The Vengeance seeker is Abu bakir
The Young Beautiful girl is Zainobe
The Stealer of the Girl is Mallam Shehu. smiley

That Book is one of my All-time favourite. The story feels like something that Truly Happened.
African Nights Entertainment by Cyprian Ekwensi. smiley

I think there is a Slight difference between Proud and 'keeping to your self'. smiley

In the OP's class, it is possible that his class was full of Lowlifes, Crude and uncouth fellows. undecided

A Girl coming from a Rich and Privileged background can't fit in properly in such an environment

Let he that has no guilt be the first to throw stone. I bet you, 99% of people here have at one time or another had worn a torn underwear, whether pant or boxers. Cordelia is not an except. I am not supporting her for being the first to slap somebody., she deserved what she got.

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...

Ojo high was trenches AF in the 90's damn!, not a single rich man who resided in that area sent their children there. Most big men & middle-class families living around there sent their children to Ijanikin, Kankor, Command day ojo/ipaja, NNS Ojo & Navy town. BTW why did you mention her real name? And at your age you are still thinking about her pant? Cordelia and her crew in my hood/church did well for themselves in life. I think she married an airforce-pilot, while her crew all married current executives in banking. Hope you are doing well in life OP

I discovered that no girl is as rude as we think bcs women relate with men according to their levels. Above all avoid see finish as a man and do all you can within and outside your capacity to legitimately get wealthy and connections to high places cool

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.
Bro you Neva marry?
