The Beginning of the Beginning of the Beginning

Friday 8 June 2012



Where did it start? When did it start?  Frankly, this is a universe of stories, each star in this  image will be a story I need to tell, but fear not, I will skip right to the part in Primary 6 , yes  proud alumnus of Great LDNPS!!  (One of the most expensive school at that time! Still wondering how mum could afford fees for all her children... The awesome foursome!  Wen, Pumps, Rho and off course moi- The Imperial.

I was a chubby and ruddy boy of 9 and in my class I had the honour of being the highest in the National Common entrance (A national entry exam to Federal Secondary Schools)  and sadly I was third best graduating students .. those girls. It felt really good when my mum said I had been selected on merit to attend the the prestigious Federal Government College Lagos. 

This is the story of my life in Federal Government College Ijanikin, these may seem like really tall tales, however I assure you everything you will read in here will be the truth and nothing but the truth as I saw.. (So help me GOD) yep I believe in JESUS

You may open your mouth agape in awe, you may shake your head in disbelief or stutter in shock, however give me the right to walk you through the multi layered tunnel of my life in Ijanikin. This is a path you should tread on, please hold my hands and ride with me. 

The cock crows and I am still tossing on my bed, the still of the night is in no hurry to depart, even the air around  is in deep slumber, while I am holding my breath and unable to wait any longer for the first crack of the dawn to herald the long awaited d-day;  my resumption to Federal Government College Ijanikin.

Hurriedly, I deserted my extra-large  King-sized bed which I shared with my junior brother. I could see his nose twitched up, his eyes lazily opened and I could almost reads his lips and hearing him say "please it is only 3:30am in the morning".  For me I had taken my fill of sleep, and the treasures of secondary school beckoned unto me. I would ignore him after all he is only in primary 2.
