What can we call a boyfriend who broke up with his girlfriend because she did like a mad person during Rag Day in school?

A Tale Of Àdífàṣẹ High School (XII)

‘What’s utility?’ asked Mr. Ademola Oladele, our Economics teacher. It was fifth period, few minutes after break-time had over.

‘What’s utility?’ he repeated. And art class B was very dead in silence. One was waiting for the other to answer the question. ‘If nobody answers me now, you all will be beaten. Class captain! give me...’

‘Sir—Sir—Sir—‘ the class lamely murmured. And it fell dead again in silence. ‘Yes who’s gonna define it?’ But no reply.

While he waited for us, a teacher came by. He had stood outside the class for a while, watching the scene. ‘Can’t one of you stand up and answer the question?’ Bàbá Obi thundered, walking into the class through the front door.

‘Sir’ Mr. Oladele said to Bàbá Obi. ‘The funny thing is that I met them shouting excitedly about who should be made the senior girl few minutes ago. Now they are silent as if they were—‘

‘Oponu ni won,’ Bàbá Obi cut in. ‘The business they have with SS3 matter is what I don’t really know! But it’s quite fine. Since you can talk about that take it as an assignment. Write a debate on that and submit it in six days’ time.’

‘Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!’ shouted the class.

‘Kilo hà yin lẹ̀nu? Am I begging anyone to do it. Let’s wait till next week.’ Bàbá Obi fired back and left.

‘This art class is just a kingdom of olodo students. None of you can define a topic I taught you last week! It’s a big shame on you all. Class captain define utility for us.’

I was much nervous. For I was obviously shied of idea about utility. But I’d stood up, at least for the fear of being labeled ‘olodo’ and was about to begin when a student, Abolade Abimbola, stood up and defined it, relieving me off nervousness.

‘Fine. A round of applause for him. But why didn’t any of you stand up before?’ God saves you all.’

Soon his period was over. He gave us an assignment on all the concepts of utility he had taught us and then left for the staff room...

Prayer Is Not Man-made.

To give someone money is not bad. It’s a thing the generous people do. You give not to show that you are better than others. It’s to say Thanks to God.

But to pay someone money to pray on your behalf is quite foolish, unreligious. As a Muslim or a Christian, it’s very pertinent to your religion to pray to your Creator directly.

Prayer isn’t man made. It’s a free natural gift from the Lord. It is much reliable antidote to all the earthly issues. So, it’s a big religion heist to collect any amount of money from anybody for prayer. A truer “man” of God would never even do that!

Pray to your God yourself. Take your problems to Him. Tell Him anything that seems wrong in ur life. It’s time we told some people that they have mouths to pray. Stop patronizing any Alfa, Pastor or Bàbá for prayer.

It should be known to anyone especially the women that any assault that may occur during that ‘’riverside prayer, lone prayer, naked prayer, etc’’ is your fault. For God doesn’t beg for a man-link from you for your prayer(s) to be answered and His words fulfilled.

Precision: A Filmed Error.

Errors of any nature are susceptible to man. For we all are reek of flaws. This is the reason it’s said nobody is perfect, meaning that an accidental act is forgivable under any circumstance.

But a deliberate act deserves a wail of condemnation. And such was the portrayal of niqāb and hijab in a new play b’cos of which media was filled with the ire of Islam adherents. To some extent, Muslims have all right to vex at such a misrepresentation.

Niqāb and hijab are worthy symbols of the faithful. Yes. They ain’t just a strand of clothing. Looking at a lass in niqāb/hijab tells of the beauty of Islam, humility, modesty, peace and love. So putting it onto a bad stance doesn’t speak well at all irrespective of tribe, religion or status.

Truly, Ms Nancy Isime who seems to be the butt is not the only player in the new play. There’re many actors, possibly Muslims in the cast. But as we all know, a tree with ripe fruits is much stoned than its ilks. She is the only one who vibes its behind-the-scene footage much.

Islam is a religion of peace, unity, love and tolerance. Saying that the way the two identities are scened is flagrant doesn’t mean we hate the theatricals. No. They are beings like us, our brethren. But any good thing should not be televised for a wrong reason.

Finally, no religion is inconsequential that it can be sacrilegiously filmed. It is time presumptuous film makers knew that God should be feared, His divine things like a religion honored. Bcos plays are literally meant to unite people not tear them apart.

A Wicked World.

Lof isn’t mundane. It is a good fiilin. And it’s neither blïnd nor makes one fôolish. You only choose to be wise or foolish if you are. Nutin concerns love.

As a good person, when you knew that you weren’t going to marry him, why did you fool him into sending you to school on the level of “I love you.”?

After many years of paying your school fees, money for handouts, etc you now graduate only to marry another man. If it were you, how would feel?

A lady once said: “But I give him s*x anytime...” I’m sorry to say, this is a fallacious view. B’cause s*x is not a by-product in any relationship. You be PSW— Private S*x Worker? Unless you are a one; giving him s*x cannot quantify his hope, his time and all resources.

And Mr. Man, you f**k up bro. In this kind era when a new baby wants to use iPhone 15 Pro., you send her to the school without tying her down with at least two kids to get an extra “hope”.

Do you not know that the hearts of some “people” lack all conscience? I very much understand that you so much love her; but lof doesn’t teach you to be neglectful of the red signs in your relationship.

My dear sister, love him in the same way he loves you. Don’t make a wolf of him with your heartlessness. Let him know if he’s not your “speck” at the beginning. Good women are still outside who can marry him. So don’t turn his heart against the good ones...

The Pregnant Woman.

It is normal to behave strangely in time of pregnancy. Those eccentric “changes” are peculiar to the state. And every woman has her unique way of living months of maternity.

It is natural of a pregnant woman to crave for a dish at odd times. Asking you to buy her fried yam, stew in the midnight would sound crazy and so annoying. But take it easy with her. She’s not the one but the load in her.

You need to know this. Pregnancy is very powerful condition. It’s rife with delicate bouts on any woman. So it’s the time she needs you the most. It’s the time you too control your temper and show truer love to your wife.

A man expecting a baby should be prayerful too. It is your work in this period of her maternity to be her spiritual “father” as well as warrior for your household. Don’t just relax. Even if there is God, play your part.

Treat her well. Don’t be hostile with her; let alone to beat her. She might act irritably so much that you wish she never had it; bear it now. It is a matter of time. Just love her with all the changes this time. After all, it is your ‘twins’ she’s heavy with.

Rest On😭💐

We’d never forget you,
And the day it was thy end.
Of thy exit we’re feeling blue;
Our nice, beloved friend!

Days had come and left,
But all shared times stay still:-
Of you we’re very bereft;
For life had cut thy peal, will!

While we hold great days;
You’d not be there for a part:
It’s ways we miss this grace;
Such a pain in every heart!

We’re so much desolate,
To recall you this trying hour.
But we’ve agreed with fate,
For you’d left at God’s order!

We’re bidding a goodbye
And pray you rest on in bliss.
Family, pals in a wet eye,
As we pay tributes in piece!

Students And Su***de.

Students are to be strong in the face of school challenges. Whatever the color of the problem, it’s not forever. As time comes and goes, so the time of school dolor.

It is understood that school is quite exacting, full of grim frustrations. That at times one feels dead inside. But know that you are not the only student facing that. In fact, your condition is pleasanter than others’.

Personally, you have lofty dreams to pursue and wish to accomplish. But they cannot be easily fulfilled as far as living life is concerned. That is the reality. So su***de is not the best way to sail through ups and downs. B’cause pains precede gains.

You’d take life as it really is. Life is quite simple. When life is frustrating and inhuman to you, be calm and resilient. Life’s hot, painful bouts are like pangs of fiery temper; they don’t last long. So shun pessimism!

Finally, the very good way to avoid the temptations of su***de is to talk all that bothers you out. Yes! Share your aches with people. For every problem has at least a solution. You can’t tell, a remedy to your condition may be close to you as mouth is well close to nose. Say a big “NO” to su***de!

It mostly happens across Nigeria. And I have not yet understood why some people attribute a particular tribe with a distinctive behavior.

Somehow, many people believe that in some parts of the east, they don’t welcome strangers. But I'll share my experience I once had with people of Ibo Land to challenge the notion.

In the year 2016, I traveled to Nnewi in Anambra State by my volition. I’d heard a lot about it from some Ibo friends so I had this kind “let me go and see it with my eyes.” instinct.

As an Ibadan child, I assumed the status of an Aba man. So on getting to one market in Nnewi South, one of the two local government areas, I quickly absorbed myself into it like we do in Lagos. But Ndị Nnewi are powerful observers.

A chap approached me, said “bro e be like you are from...” I cut him off his words and quickly replied “Yes from Lagos.” And he smiled. He then said to a woman: “I tell you he is from Lagos...” I later learnt that the woman is his mother after dinner.

For days, I was given a free room to stay and everyone was friendly. Lots young men took me as if we’d known one another before. Some of them had once lived in Lagos, Ondo, and Ibadan and shared their individual experiences with me.

And similar things happened when I went to the Calabar Carnival. I had no friends or family members there. But I was treated as a human and a Nigerian. And I enjoyed my visits to other places in the same way too.

Is everyone kind? No! Does it mean we are all unkind too? No! I do love people who always treat others well irrespective of their tribes, faiths or classes. We’re the living things who deserve good gestures. Not entities!

We’d relate with people well. It’s an integral part of the social contact of nature in which we all are. Strive to evaluate your personal experiences with people from other tribes. Stop kâpitalising on hearsay, ingrained tribal sentiment. Avoid missing out on great relationships.

I marveled at the morale that drew her words from her. She took to her media handles and said “If your body is all you have to offer, use it to get out of poverty...” This quite raises dust.

The statement, without a doubt, is directly sent out to her genders. It is to tell them that hòòküp pays faster than anything. In the state where many vvömén are indolent, aimless and so on, a célêb is abetting amoral stuff for a beautiful reason.

Now, if we may ask her, does it mean that śhè too was once one of the “same” type who use body to get what they want? Or she’s quite pushing them do what their hearts don’t want so as to gain unmerited favors? Sêx for gains without pains!

Most of the so called çelêb seem to have lost their senses. No apology. You went online to spread such a message, quite aware that young ones would naively want to try what you suggested as a well known personality.

Poverty shouldn’t be so extolled to the extent of getting out of it with some kind dirty stuff. There are people who left the corridors of poverty without engaging in any illicit things. There are ways to be rich without losing one’s dignity.

So telling us that body is the only key to get out of poverty is direct way of saying that morality, good deeds, dignity, fear of God, etc are should be disregarded in pursuit of material things.
