You see sometimes our good intentions can as well be to our detriment. Have you ever considered that?. Anyways if you haven't I will tell you about my own little experiences

Just woked up after a long night, and was getting ready for the activities of the new day. Still in that state a friend of mine entered with facial expressions that seems all isn't well just on a sight I was able to notice that.

What is the issue with you this early morning I asked? without any ado or any form of hesitation he answered my phone. How about it!!! it developed a fault he said. I took a deep breath knowing fully well that there is a problem.

The goal now is to fix the phone and with the little money he has but the problem is that he doesn't have physical cash with him for transportation. So I volunteered to give him the only one thousand naira left in my account hoping that after he rectifies fault in his phone he can give me back my money of which he agreed to do so.

On reaching the market there were lots of technicians calling on us but then we just needed to make sure we're in the right hands fortunately we spotted a place and we headed directly to the lucky guy

After formal greetings we gave him the phone and in our senses we thought is just a minor fault and he just needed to give it a touch. But to our greatest surprise it wasn't what we thought, as the phone technician can't just tell what the problem was. I may need to refer this phone to my senior colleague he said.

Now the journey started moving from one table to another some said is the battery another says it's the charging ic their most promising technician said is the mother board of which there is no remedy for it.

Just in disappointment we started coming back home it was just at that moment I remembered that the money we used for transportation was actually my last cash and I'm not expecting any soon.

Though we have an agreement of him refunding my money but on a second thought of the fact that our mission was aborted I couldn't stress more on him refunding my money but only left him to his fate.

You know what, even till now I'm still anticipating the money but it doesn't seem coming. Maybe I should just forget about it what do you think? drop it in the comment section and don't forget to drop a like.👎

I suppose it starts back in June 2023. She was a friend to my my very good friend at that time, they've been friends only for a few weeks . Seeing her for the first time , I didn’t really say much to her as I am a very shy and socially awkward person. I think I managed to get a few hellos out but nothing more than that.

The next time I met her was on a night class. Trust me that night was fun nothing much actually happened, I had always been a fan of Celine Dion. To be honest I meant no harm that night I was only doing my thing, so I started playing Dion on a very low volume while we read.

Little did I know that I have caught her attention but she couldn't show much of it because of my friends presence so as the hands of clock kept moving into the late hours of the night my friend slept off leaving the both us, "is time to make a friend with this maiden a voice within spoke to me'' but I resisted the voice.

Still in that trauma, I had a soft voice spoke to me "you know I have always loved Celine Dion". Can you sing if THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES, she asked?? Without any hesitation I played the song and I started singing in words in line and in rythem as my phone plays. You are really a good singer she complimented. Before she did her own version of the song indeed she had this voice of an angle.

And then the song ended. I now have the very best opportunity to talk with her, we talked from one story line to another I tried being funny as much as I could and she was overwhelmed with laughter it was such an amazing time with her. I wish to continue but it was already deep in the night she need to have a nap before dawn. Still trying to create a space for her to do that while she fell to my laps and slept off.

You can imagine the rest of the story, but then I had fun that very night.

This life is full of wonders and unforgettable experiences and memories too. An incident occurred that took me by surprise and shock, keep reading to hear it all and pls drop a like afterwards.
It was just last week Monday, I was hurrying to work because all teachers were supposed to be in school before 7:30 and they normally take attendance and in case of any defaulter, his salary will be deducted.
So, after taking my bath and wore my clothes, I hurriedly stepped out and on getting to where I would pick a bus I locked at my dressing to do the final inspection and noticed I had an oil stain on my perfectly ironed white shirt not knowing how it came, I was tempted to go back but just ignored it and went on.
On getting there, it was 7:28 and I breathed a sigh of relief and the principal was also sitted at the entrance waiting for late staffs, something he was never done and as I passed by, he told me that I was lucky I came before the deadline. That day many teachers were caught and their salaries deducted from but it wasn't over yet, the owner of the school decided to meet with the staffs that same day and we were assembled and he spoke extensively mostly about our dressing, he then spotted the stain on my shirt and made an example out of me, I was so embarrassed, it wasn't my habit to be improperly dressed but I was also glad at least my salary wasn't deducted.

My secondary school days were among the fun times in my life. Though not seemingly fun then but reminiscing over that last and the presents provides a prudent answer.

The distance from home to school was far, very far I must say, about an hour and 30 minutes fast walk. But we don't mind, we never mind walking it 😂.

With friends, the distance always seemed shortened. We just save up our supposed transport fare so we can buy larger snacks during real-time in school.

Most often when we are running late, we do wait along a long tarred path definitely after walking an hour walk.
Free lifts do give people free rides there to the junction and that saves a lot of energy and time.

This particular day, we were running late and decided to wait for a free lift. While waiting, someone I knew stopped for me, he drove a mate-mortorcycle. I was running to meet up with it when a female in senior class who was also waiting for a free ride ran ahead and mounted the motorcycle🥴.

He didn't even check if it was me who mounted it, he zoomed off and almost immediately, the force jerked the senior off. She landed with a loud crash. Her nyash slamming the hard floor😔

And then he looked back and called me, I ran to him and mounted it, shaa I said sorry to the fallen victim 😂.

It's one of those unusual days I set out for a long journey, those kinda journeys you sit for 2hrs+ twisting yourself in impatience, wishing you'd arrive soon.

Most times before that unpleasant numb feelings come, the journey takes me aback to my childhood when I used to travelled such distances with family, the excitement to travel, the eagerness to arrive and then sleeping in-between, you cannot deny it's a memory worth adoring.

While I thought about all these, I remembered the real purpose of my journey, an exam that lay ahead like an assassin that will overwhelm you silently but with strength. A frown takes over the smile that was starting to blossom on my face.

Amidst these restless thoughts, I dozed off, yes! Bus sleeps are the best, when I awoke, we had arrived. And so I stroll down the long gloomy path to undertake what has been waiting for a long time, it won't be easy but it'll be worth it.

Good morning guys I want to share a life story of what happened to me early this week.
So, quickly, I went to school very early that morning because I had lectures by 7am,so I had to go early so that I could secure the front seat in order not to be left out in the class because the lecturer was that audible enough. But on getting to school, it was like the class has started because the class was almost filled up by just some minutes to 6. I was wondering whether everyone knew what was in my mind and planned ahead of me. An hour later, our lecturer arrived and the lecture kicked off. All my lectures for that day ended by 6pm but I didn't go home immediately because I had tutorials from 6:30pm to 8pm.
After the tutorials, I decided to use the Wi-Fi to download some important things and after I finished, it was already 10pm. As I went on the way I decided to take a short cut which wasn't along the road and people weren't passing there because it was dark but I was tired and couldn't follow the main road. So almost close to the school gate I noticed a giant guy approaching, he was very muscular and I was scared because there have been cases of theft and attack on students. So a thought came to my mind and I pretended that I was doing incantations and I noticed he was getting scared and he fled and that was how I was saved from him.
I didn't know that thieves too are also afraid of death and other things, imagine him running away, it was a scary and wonderful experience.

Burna just changed school, his parents switched him from his old school to a new school. One could tell from obvious reasons why he was switched, the first being that the new school was closer to their house, and they had many qualified teachers too.

It was break time and Burna was outside about to join in a football selection.

"who be this goat", a student said

"see en head like food flask, make he no touch this ball oo" another responded.

Burna was left speechless, in his former school, he was the chief commander in football, he was the one to select who was to and who was not to play.

" between me and you, who owns a big head? I wonder why these lizards are even allowed to go to school in the first place" he muttered to himself as he turned to leave.

Burna wasn't himself throughout the school hour. Immediately the school bell rang, he dashed off, one would think he forgot his pants because of the way he dashed off.

"all of you should kneel fast!!", Burna shouted at the 5 boys who had taken the road that went beside his house while they were going home.

" where is that frog that said my head looked like a foodflask? Shey all of the una dey when they been insult me and chase me comot for field?, una go hear am today", Burna threatened as he shook the chain that bound his dog.

"pls it's not me, i, I....", one tried to defend himself but Burna landed a knock on his head.

"I will just have mercy on you people, next Tim.. ", he was about to finish with his statement when they all took to their heels.

With a smile of satisfaction he took his dog back to it's cage and waited for tomorrow.

The next day, they rang the bell and this time it was no longer Burna asking to be selected, he was the one choosing who to play.

"oya food flask head, go and sit down, you no go smell this ball today" he shouted at one who was frowning at the whole process.

THE DEFAULTERS
Hi guys, I want to share a little story that is a lesson that if well taken into consideration and put into practice, life will be more easier.
So, it all started on a bright sunny afternoon on a Monday morning. Just immediately after the bell was rung for break over and continuation of teaching I went out to catch and punish those whose defaulted in obeying the bell because I was on duty that day. So, all the students starting running into their classes immediately they saw me approaching. So, I headed on to the school field to search for more defaulters and this time any one caught was to be punished because the rule of the school clearly states that anyone caught still out 2minutes after the bell has been rung should be punished. I went their and I saw 2 students, they weren't even making any attempt to go to class early because they were seniors, so I called them and asked why they weren't in class and one of them lied that they were sent by a teacher and I asked the other one, he too said the same thing, so I asked to follow me to the teacher they said sent them but they were reluctant but just then, I also saw other two students and I asked them why they were outside and they said that they were sorry that they heard the bell but they were stayed there to put back on their shoes because they played football, so I let them go because they said the truth and after seeing what happened the other two that lied began to confess that they lied to me but It was too late.
Lying is a bad habit, people often say some times its good not to say the truth because it might turn back at you but no matter the pain it will cost, the truth is better because a lie will still come back in the future to hunt you.

Today started off slow as I woke up and a deep voice in me suggested that I stay back than prepare for classes. I hardly muss classes for any reason, but this day, I succumbed to that lazy voice in my head.

I stayed back and ignored all lectures that were fixed to hold in the morning. Not up to 2 hours later, I started receiving calls that gunshots are been heard all over the school area, was still on the call when the gunshots began close to my hearing, they were shooting sporadically across the streets.

I declared my safety to my parents and friends who called in to check on me, and then I crept back to my bed and dozed.

Waking up now to hear about the scores of the shooters, videos of the incident everywhere and other saddening stories linked with today.
I thanked God for protecting, perhaps I might have been a victim.

Something so so shocking happened in my exam hall today we were writing our most tricky course and my school mainly writes CBT exams and they are three categories of students, the first are those kinds of people that will study so hard to pass and the second set will be very nonchalant if they fail of pass they don't give a damn then the last are those that uses the time they are meant to study with and invest it in trying tricky tactics in examination malpractice just to pass.
I got to the hall and I sat down with a lady I don't know her from Adam though , the exam started and everyone were sweating profusely as it was a very hot one then the lady besides me brought by out her phone and started coping so fast and she was spotted by the invigilator and the invigilator asked her to stand up and bring her ID card because she knows fully that the lecture is a devote Muslim she went half baked and the invigilator had to cover his face not to see her as it's a bad thing to do in his religion and the girl ran away. This is my humble humble piece of advice to everyone here never cheat to pass it's by hardwork.

Yesterday Monday 3rd July, the school was not supposed to conduct any lectures since the Mondays have been usually recognised as stay-at-home day.

The day started off boringly, we had not perceived electricity for close to 34hrs and my phone was dead. I had to go inside the institution to find where to charge.

I found a class which had faulty wall fuses, but at last, found one good.
I had just plugged in and seated for few minutes when students started rushing inside the building like they were being chased, some pushed, and overtook me while I struggled to leave the front seat I occupied and run to the back.

When everything settled down, to my utmost surprise, it wasn't any alarm.
The students were just rushing to get a good space before the next lecture.

I had given up my seat because of what I thought was the gun men's. With anger, I just stood, picked my belongings and left.

I always have this fufullnent and a joyous feeling whenever a female (a fine one, precisely) talks to me. Its been something going on for long that any day I don't converse with a fine girl in school, I just generalize the day as bad.

I was a smart but introverted. I was usually shy around girls and most times I avoid taking a path or meeting a female face, not because I don't enjoy it, but I was a shy type and even if I finally meet them, words escape me.

But I am defined as having two parts of life, the first part, a loner and the second part: a loud socialist.
I am usually very jovial with male friends, I am known as a celebrity amongst them, but the females could hardly tell what my voice sounds like.

A day I rushed off after school and left my friends which I usually went home together with. Can't remember the reason why I left them though, but on this day something different happened.

"Hello Andy, wait for me" I heard a voice beside me. It was Cecelia, a girl, one of the finest in school then. I usually saw her on my way back from school while with my friends most times and never have we exchanged pleasantries.

"Hi, I want to meet up with something though that's why I am fast". She said nothing but just increased her pace to fit mine. We walked for few minutes without any utterances until she asked why I wasnt friendly with her.

I had no answer, so I told her I wasn't, and also I told her that I am not a flirt who spoke to every girl I see. She could have gotten angry by that but she didn't.

The next day, she came after dismissal and we walked home together, so did she the day after, and she became a very close friend, my wife.

As days passed, some other girls added to the pair and I realised that I had this charm for girls, I never lost words around them, I always made them laugh and all and all.

I didn't become a flirt, mind you!. I just could associate with everyone now. I was just a better me. Girls conversing with me isn't any longer what makes my day.

My school was raided by 15 unmasked men , they came by 11pm and they operated for an hour undisturbed students were going hay wire at the happenstance of the event it wasn't funny at all but after that it started seeming funny the way students behaved out of fear, when they started hearing the gun shots people were leaving the hostel and coming off campus and the operation was off campus but fear gave them the wrong move that moment, the girls hostel was filled with fainting ladies and no one seemed to want to stay to resuscitate a friend because everyone was trying to save his or her life and people off campus were running to their friend's houses off-campus too , villagers were killed and a little girl though not a student of the institution was kidnapped at her father's shop his worker was shot and killed the man seemed a very wealthy man a business tycoon. It is my earnest prayer the little girl is released .Tension is still in the air in the school because a hunter shot his gun again and students were at it again guys were jumping from the storey hostels to run for their life unawares it might kill them faster.
