So, I found this very interesting and had to write about one of my experiences in Epe Grammar School when I was in SS1.
I went late to school that fateful day and we were told to kneel down* I was a perpetual late comer,tho..lol*. Senior Ope was one of the terrifying seniors we had in SS2 that time and happened to be on duty for that week*If you attended a government day secondary school, you will understand*. I then managed to sneak out of the crowd kneeling down. Senior Ope noticed and blocked me at the other side *as a smart senior* you know? then he confronted me and I denied that I was late. He said "I saw you! You were late...If you no shut up now ehnnn, I go beat you sotey I go draw map of Africa for your back". Hearing that, I stood my ground that I was not late. He then started beating me and gave me scars on my back.
When I got home, I just went straight to my mum's room to undress*so that she will see the marks there*. She just shouted "talo shele yi fun e?" meaning "who did this to you?" I said "Its Senior Ope"..lol. My mama shout again "tani were to n je senior Ope?" LOL meaning "who is this so called mad person named senior Ope?" I said "he is my senior" dhe then continued "Senior? O n siwin ooo" meaning "he has mental illness ooo".
She then asked again "What did you do to him?" I said "because I went late to school" "lo se na e bayi?" meaning "that's why he beat you like this?".......I nau told her the part where "he said he will draw map of Africa on my back". She then said "ko buru ma ya world map si lara lola" meaning "Don't worry I will draw the world map on his body tomorrow".
Next day came and I was sitting down jejely in my class when somebody came and said "James Deborah, your mummy is calling you outside". Ha! Fear first grip me....Lo and behold! Mile was waiting for me in her car outside. I entered the car and she said "come and take me to your principals office". Something just said I should check the back seat and I saw blala "cane". Haaaa....Aye oo! Mumsie bought cane ni sha. I was happy cos Senior Ope don too do pass him boundary for that school and its my mum that will finally break his backbone...lol.
Part 2 coming soon
