Only in Odogbolu (2)... by Bros. G.

...will Lanre Sarunmi in response to a question by a chemistry teacher Mr. Fatimehin say that "Boyle's Law is Girl's Law" and get a whipping for his uncanny answer!

...will Majaman Gunduma, a senior student with a very strange sense of humour, come and tell you to open your locker, bonjee you of your provisions and then tell you your locker is smelling while walking away!

...will Padou (Mark U.) in trying to 'show' a wicked senior student Andikan Ekpa, pour and stir saliva into a cup of garri, milk and sugar extorted from Padou and others by Andikan who then drinks the concoction with a smile on his face and say "this thing is very sweet" without realising what was put into it!

...will Mr. Emebo (RIP), while interrogating the same wicked senior Andikan Ekpa reported by Padou (Mark U.), make a sign of a slap on the face and ask Andikan, "did you do this to him?" and while Andikan tries to defend himself, Emebo asks the same question again and again. Finally when Andikan says yes, Emebo retorts, "NO MORE!" implying Andikan was in deep trouble!

...will Mr. Emebo (RIP), having run out of patience one friday afternoon while we are waiting for our muslim brethen to return from mosque to join us at the dining hall for lunch, would suddenly beckon to Jide Olatoye (RIP) and say in his (Emebo's) characteristic Ibo accent, "MU-SI-LIM OR NO MU-SI-LIM, I SAY SAY PRAYER QUIC-KI-LY."

...will someone (Zaheed A.) who claimed to see a gutter on a dark night while others hesitated to pass that area, jump boldly and land right inside the gutter, thereby showing others exactly where the gutter was for them to pass safely!

...will Mr. Olopele sight Koriko (Charles D.) in town, Koriko escapes only to be told by Olopele sometime later that he saw him (Koriko) and when Koriko denies, Olopele insists "I know you like a ten kobo coin!"

...will Mr. Tunde Adefolaju who when you go to his house to see him ask if it is Tunde Adefolaju you want to see or the Principal and when you say the latter, he retorts, "come to the office"!

...will Conga (Oto A.) in order to avoid being monitored during final year exams by two S.U. School Captains ( Michael U. and Gboyega A.) having similar name initials with him, decide to use Isaac as his surname to allow him to sit in a neutral class to have freedom to do what he wants! He obviously never bothered to think about the implication of that name on his certificate!

...will Moses Ayoo ('89 set), acting dining hall captain, cleverly obtain and keep the school's public address system while at the same time making very serious announcements to the "person" who took it to return it! How desperate can people get?

...will a confused student trying to understand a topic ask a teacher in a french class, "sir please come again" and the teacher Mr. Nwabuwa (RIP) would suddenly jump forward towards the student and say "I have come again!"

...will a teacher Mr. Omogbenigun just returned from a trip abroad and still basking in the euphoria decide to lie down on the grass in front of the admin block without caring who was watching!

...will a student, man mi (David U.) spend money meant for his school fess on other things and when asked by friends in Yoruba dialect, "Man mi, e wo lo se?" would retort, Mo se school fees!"

...will a teacher (name not remembered) in asking students to regroup at some place in school for an assignment tell them, "go and wait for me at that triangular square!" Can a square really be triangular? Funny enough, the place was rectangular in shape!

...will overgrown chicken (Clement E.), a student with a rather weird appetite in response to a challenge take someone's parazone bleach and gulp the contents down his throat, and the owner says angrily, "you almost finished my bleach"!

...will a junior student in JS 2 during a dining hall massacre take a pot of asaro (porridge) meant for 14 students under one of the dining hall tables, finish everything ALONE and is then unable to come out from under the table and is taken straight from there to the dispensary!

...will a class 1 student Eba (Yemi A.) having missed the action during a dining hall massacre walk up to a captain and say, "I missed my food" and when told there is no stew but only EBA, he says, "I'll take the EBA like that!"

...will a group of students ('89 set) be so notorious that they forget their reason for being in school and begin to set their own records in strange areas: having the worst general WAEC results as at their time, who the most wicked amongst them is and one person finishing in one sitting about 13 or 14 wraps of eko (agidi) and of course being the first set to be taught sweet lessons by their immediate juniors ('90 set) when they returned for their results!

...will a junior student respond, "it is a long story" to a senior student's (Gbenga E.) enquiry and with a hot slap to the junior's face, the senior retorts, "summarise it!"

...will Bros G, as a junior student stab class to go to jamaica to pluck "awin" (that little black covering with red fruit within) and send to the dispensary with a blow Tito (Tobi O.) who tried to take the hard earned "awin" without permission!

You doubt any of the above? Just ask the main characters involved to confirm for yourself. FEGO sure had a lot of characters!

Hillarious...

Eba without soup, slaps for boy's law, wrestle over awin wey no dey belleful, change of name at exam point, showing off after "been to", jumping in to show the way, address system saga (following in the steps of minister wey carry national theater generator go village), clash of personality (principal vs. father, similar to Joke Jacobs - wife vs. Joke Silva - actress)...

Now I need not pay to get high... Thanks for sharing.

...will I buy new sneakers for cross country, be all hyped up, start the race, be exhausted at the school gate and walk back to the dorm.
