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.

We wore torn pants well into adulthood, only taking precaution when it's time to visit a boyfriend with the likelihood of something going down.

There were other pants, but you just discover you have a sentimental attachment to that particular one, no biggie.

No be lie now. Even Boys Scout moto is "Be Prepared. " At that age, if you are not prepared for emergency action, life will just pass you by and before you know it, adulthood has happened to you. Everything now become formal and cautious, eroding the real fun.

Seems that the natural order of life,a girl and a boy born same day same hours possibly the girl will get married first to someone who is older than her with like 4/6 years and might almost finish giving birth before the guy get married to a 25 years old girl

Kalulu44:
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.

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

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

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

Wow! Thanks for the reminder. I first read that book in 1992, from then till 2000 when I last read it, I read it many times.
So pardon my forgetfulness. I may have forgotten some names, but I haven't forgotten the plots from start to finish.

She is now married to a Pilot (one of our colleagues who left Nija in the late 2000 ) and I learned a lesson from that girl " You attract what you are". It's only low value men who see every classy girls as a rude babe , if you are in high place as a man most of this babes will look normal to you . Say NO TO POVERTY MINDSET AND THINK BIG

Abeg lets hear word. She's classy and then came to enroll in a public/government school with us. She doesn't know where Corona school and co are. And as 15-17yrs most of us are then, someone will start feeling like a president for us to lie down and she step on us. You don't know what you're saying.
Who knows probably pride may have finally pushed to one ogogoro man now.

SisterAnn:
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.

All this things you and most people are yarning are bs to me. So 52 pupilis will just hate her for nothing. Ok it's the senior students that are not street life guys which she find solace in.
My friend she came to register in a public/government school and should have known better. There was Hopebay college, Corona school which could have suit her lifestyle then but she didn't go to those ones.
And what's wrong with your classmates trying to be social with you?
And another of your mundane reasoning, so intelligent people are only found in science class.
And lastly to one of your question, the fight didn't last long for it to be reported to the authority. And if anyone ought to do that, it's Cordelia herself, but she chose not to cus it will hurt her pride the more.
And for what I am doing now at 45, I am ok to have given birth to 3 kids doing well at their studies and solely sponsored by me.
I'm not begging, my kids are not begging.
