“At night, we would all gather and tell stories about movies we’ve watched and books we’ve read. We’d play games with each other in the afternoons especially Saturdays that are not for visiting. Your classmates were your sisters. It was a boarding school.
One night we had so much fun we slept under the sky, smoking and working out. It was a high-energy night.”

Constantly getting on my nerves and all of that, as a gentle boy that I was, I was condoning all of it without reacting until one day I slapped her so hard across the face that my hands were literally marked on her cheeks. Mehn, beating wey Roma never chop for Man Utd hand naim I chop that day. The girl was still trying to tell me sorry, omo I change am for her again o.

“One time, one idiot teacher flogged the back of my fingers. Not with ruler o, with cane. Those long flexible canes. All because I kept my nails long. I took it without shaking, too proud to cry or complain. What makes the memory a fond one is I remember my crush trying to pet me, my best friend too. Even my elder brother offered to go and waylay him on the road to beat sense into him. Lol…I didn’t expect all the love. Somehow what supposed to be a painful memory turned into a pleasant one cause of them 🥰🥰 Nigerian schools and abuse though…”

“The last day of secondary school. My friends were chasing me with buckets of muddy water so I jumped the fence. As I was running away, I realized that was my last chance to say goodbye. I walked back through the gate and had fun with my guys. Hugged some of them for the first and last time. One girl held my hand. It was so emotional. Played football for six hours after. It was the best game of my life.”
