==THE STORY THAT HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD== Episode 39: #Admin_Blade À Coolval22 production We left for the exam ‘runs’ with high hopes of making some cool cash from the school we would be rendering our services to. We had no particular school at heart when we left but one thing was certain – we won’t be going to any school within Agbani. Reason being that the Police Station is very close and the men in black will be moving from school to school in search of preys. I don’t know about others but am not yet ready to pay a visit to ‘sanko’. After much deliberation we unanimously decided to take our services to Akpugo village. We boarded a bus at the cost of 80 naira per person to Akpugo. That was our first time of going to the place and so we asked a male passenger to give us direction to any big private owned secondary school in Akpugo. When the bus finally got to Akpugo after countless stops, the passenger pointed to a fenced two storey building which was about 500 meters from where we alighted. He said the school has got a WAEC center with many registered candidates both boarders and regular students. We thanked him and left for the school. We met a mad man about 100 hundred meters to the school. He was coming in the opposite direction. ”My brothers, please I want to ask you people a question,” he said to us in a very polished queen’s intonation. We stood surprised and discombobulatedon how a mad man would be speaking in such polished accent. We were still lost in thoughts when he dropped the bombshell ”Yes, if someone who studied physics is known as a physicist, what then do we call a person who studied geography? Geographer or geographist?” I don’t know if it was the fact that this question came from a mad man or because it was directed to three random students of Geography and Meteorology, coincidentally,on a day scheduled for WAEC Geography exam but one thing was sure, the question had thrown us off balance. We stood rooted like statues with dropped jaws as we looked at each other with bulging eyes. The answer to the question was staring us in the face but the circumstances surrounding the situation completely got us confused. The laughter from students going to school brought us back to our senses and that was when we noticed that the mad man was long gone from us. After the students had laughed themselves to satisfaction one of them now asked us why we paid so much attention to the words of a mad man. Zubi lied to them that we were just sympathetic over the condition of the young man. It was at this point that Joseph asked them if they could take us to their principal to which they agreed. They knocked on the big gate when we got to the school. The gateman opened the security view (the portion of a gate first opened to check the person at the gate) and gave us a searching look. We identified ourselves and told him we would like to see the principal of the school. He closed the security view before opening the mini gate for us to come in. We thanked the gateman and walked into the school premises. There were two different sets of two storey buildings facing each other. One served as the main classroom blocks with the staffroom located at the ground floor while the other served as the hostels with the girls occupying the first and second floors while the boys occupied the ground floor. We later learnt the hostels were only used during WAEC exams by distant and/or external candidates. There were students walking to and fro the school compound. We did not met the principal on sit and so we were asked to wait for him. It was while we waited for the principal in front of his office that my eyes caught a particular group of girls. They were three in number and all on mufti. I had seen them passed twice before. One was putting on a bum short and spaghetti top while the rest two wore knee- length skirts and polo tops. The one on bum short fidgeted flirtatiously as they walked past us for the third time. ”Hmmm, e be like say body dey totori dis one,” I thought to myself To Be Contd Shortly
