THE TRAVAILS OF JAMES GBENGA OLANIYI -Episode 5 of 6
EPISODE FIVE
By September, we were all used to our new locality. Rita was finding it difficult to cope with Mathematics especially having changed her school, so, I began putting her through. I became more like a coach to her. The children were so used to me that they began seeing me as their brother. November, I asked Mr. Ogah to stop paying me as a house help for I still feed and live in their house. He agreed even his wife to.
At the dawn of a new year 2003, Mr. and Mrs. Ogah decided that I should register for WAEC, but I would need all the necessary Certificates, declaration of age, state of origin, first school leaving certificate, etc. They promised to work them out for me so I could register for WAEC. So, while acquiring all these Certificates I was also preparing for WAEC together with Rita. I began bearing James Gbenga (Gbenga was my middle name). Rita and I wrote WAEC examination that year and had a very wonderful results especially Rita.
We started preparing for UME against 2004. Rita wanted to study accounting and become an Accountant while I wanted to study mathematics education and become a Teacher. Things moved from glory to glory for the Ogahs. God’s favour was upon them and upon me too. I realised that they were the helping hands for me. Rita and I got admission into the University in 2004 which made Mr. Ogah very happy and he tasked me on keeping his daughter safe. Rita and I became really bounded and in school, we were always seen together. Soon, it was Peter’s turn, he wanted to become an Engineer. He also got admission in the University and came to join us. Rita and I graduated with first class which brought delight to Mr. Ogah. Luckily, we were both posted to Ondo state for our service. We were together again. After our service, we got job offers but decided to go back to Niger State. We got very lucrative jobs and I began to settle down on my own. With the help of Mr. Ogah, I was able to build my own house and for my 30th birthday, he bought a car for me.
