WAEC Fees
“I have the money now, I’ll give you this night,” Ibukun’s mother told her the evening of the next day, in a whisper so her father, who sat at the TV, scrolling through the channels, wouldn’t hear.
Ibukun’s mood lifted. She was going to write the exam after all. That day, after she had sat through a terse thirty minutes with Niyi while studying, she had gone to Miss Antonia to ask her advice on certain aspects of filling her form, but all the while she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about how, if she wouldn’t write the SSCE exam, the money she had spent would be a sore waste, and wondering if it wouldn’t be more expedient to keep her cash. But, apparently, her worries were baseless. She started to smile and say thank you, but her mother had hurried from her side in a mouse-like manner.On the whole, it was a much better night then Ibukun had had since the beginning of the year. She felt lighter knowing that in less than 24 hours, she was going to be registered for theRelated chapters
Five Plus One Equals Done The Beginning
The students of Achievers High school, AHS, Lekki, Lagos, were gathered around in small groups of friends around the school’s assembly hall waiting for the siren to go off, announcing the official start of the first assembly of the session. Most of the students were currently talking about their summer holidays which many of them had spent outside the shores of the country. Quite a few students were intent on boasting about how much more spectacular their own holidays had been than the rest of their peers, and so there was much more noise than expected.Outside the hall also, Bolaji Akinwande, the Labour Prefect Boy, was leaning against one of the pillars of the hall, occasionally craning his neck to check for what appeared to be something, or someone. He was a thin, tall, very handsome boy of sixteen years. Even with the mini scowl on his face and his obvious disinterest of the scene around him, he was drawing admiring looks from the students around him, though he was oblivious
Five Plus One Equals Done The Girl, The Queens and The Dog
Ibukun’s mother gave a high-pitched giggle.Ibukun hated that laugh. She hated it just as much as she hated failing exams or tests, the rich kids in her school, the devil, and of course, her father, who, now that she thought of it, could pass for the devil.Mummy, can’t you see? He’s doing it again! He’s going to go back to his normal asshole default setting in a few hours! she wanted to scream. But she couldn’t. Her father would probably slap her hard across the face, and the current happy atmosphere would vanish like smoke. And besides, her mother deserved to be happy. She deserved happiness more than anyone Ibukun knew, even if it was an ephemeral kind with the sorry excuse for a man her father was.For about 360 days of the 365 days that existed in a year, Lanre Omotosho was the perfect example of men that spinsters could go on a month’s fasting to not end up with. He beat his wife, Ibukun’s mother, also beat Ibukun and her little brother, took t
Five Plus One Equals Done How to Win a Bet
Most people would say they were quiet with people they hardly knew and were their normal fun and bubbly selves with people they were comfortable with. But for Bolaji, it was more complex than that. Bolaji believed he had two personalities. There was the quiet, sullen Bolaji and there was the fun-loving playful Bolaji. And he wasn’t sure which was the “real” him. Moreover, he usually decided what Bolaji he would display for a particular person or situation. Generally, sullen Bolaji appeared for his father, the periods when he was home, and anytime a teacher decided to grace his class with their presence. Fun Bolaji appeared with his younger sister, his friends, and formerly, his ex, Amanda.But if there was any place sullen Bolaji had to appear, it was English class, and Bolaji was presently in an English class that could easily contest for The Most Boring Class of All Time and cart away first prize. Mr Ekundayo, the most boring teacher in AHS, as v
Five Plus One Equals Done The Talk
Niyi Omobowale sat on her bed covered with glistening white sheets, in her pristine white bedroom, tracing her fingers over the book she was reading for possibly the hundredth time, Something Borrowed by Emily Giffins. The book was very possibly her best book in the entire world, and reading at least a part of it every Saturday morning had become a sort of tradition for her while she waited for Mr John, her piano tutor.Just as she got to the fifth chapter, her door suddenly sprang open with such force it hit the wall behind it. Before she even heard her footsteps she knew who it was. Omolara, her seven-year-old sister, was not one to open a door politely.“Lara, what is it now?” she said, annoyed at being interrupted again. Just twenty minutes before Lara had barged into her room to ask if Niyi could help her do her homework. Niyi had refused; their mother had given her orders to stop doing Lara’s work for her.“Mummy’s back,
Five Plus One Equals Done An Eventful First Week
CHAPTER FIVEAn Eventful First Week“If I give you four apples, and I give you another four, that is eight apples, abi?” Ibukun asked and Tade nodded. “Good. So when I take away two, how many will remain?”Tade stayed quiet for so long, staring at his fingers, Ibukun thought that he wouldn’t answer. And then he ventured timidly, “Erm, five?”Ibukun could barely stop the sigh of frustration that threatened to escape. It was a hot Saturday afternoon, and even braving the fiery sun and going out of their small flat to get what little air the atmosphere had to offer had very little profit; Ibukun still felt sweat running down her back. It was her first free day in weeks; her mother had ordered her to stay at home and help Tade with his homework, and she had gratefully accepted. But she didn’t know it was going to be this tedious. Rather than just telling him the answers, she wanted him to understand, but that was proving to be almost impossible. They were on just their
Five Plus One Equals Done Bolaji and Niyi
“You people are feeling like as if you have arrived,” Mr Akinbode, the Mathematics teacher said, and the class erupted into boos and cheers. “Let me tell you the truth o, you have not arrived at all. You have only just started, because it’s now you’ll write WAEC, JAMB, and for some of the less smart ones, NECO. And let’s assume you pass all those, you’ll have to write post JAMB. If you pass those ones and you manage to enter university, you’ll have to fight to stay in the school. You’ll write your 100L semester exams, and when you finish that one...” the boos grew so loud that Mr Akinbode had to stop for a while. He wiped his face on his sleeve and continued, “After all the exams, you’ll graduate and have to start looking for a job. If you find that one, you’ll marry, and then you’ll start taking care of your own children. So you see, from now on, the only things you’ll be facing are trials. The playing ended last session.” By now the noise had reached a din.Rebecca shook her he
Five Plus One Equals Done Everyone is Someone's Ex
It was one of those times Niyi wished for a best friend; someone other than her mother or Rebecca, who could tell her what she really felt since she didn’t know herself. She had spent the past few days asking herself the same question, made up of just four words; Do I like him? Niyi wasn’t sure she could answer the question herself, and she couldn’t meet any of her friends, or rather, the people she hung out with at school, since they didn’t really count as friends. First, Bolaji was Amanda’s ex, and Niyi knew she wasn’t meant to be his friend at all, since Amanda had made it very obvious that any girl she caught talking to Bolaji would prefer being boiled alive in hot oil when she was done with her. Also, she had never been too close to Aisosa and Tolu, so she wasn’t too sure they would really appreciate her coming to discuss matters of the heart with them. And Rebecca always seemed so distant every time Niyi brought their topic of discussion around to Bolaji, so Niyi knew sh
Five Plus One Equals Done Committee for the New Year Dance
As always, immediately after the midterm break of the first term, a flurry of activities and excitement swept the school body at AHS. It had nothing to do with academics, or sports, or anything related. No, not at all. The students of AHS were not exactly bothered about things like that. Rather, the whole school would wait with bated breath for the New Year Dance.There were parties held many times in AHS – anniversary parties, End-of-the-Year parties, graduation parties, proms – but the New Year Dance trumped them all. An exclusive party for only the senior classes, from JSS3 upwards, the party was the sole party in the school where students were allowed to stay in school overnight and perform a countdown for the New Year. It also helped that it wasn’t as heavily chaperoned as it could have been, so students had the liberty to do anything they wanted. With the lewd reports people that went to the party brought back to the non-party goers, it was a surprise to the general student
