Must Read: Ibo Boy Wey Like Yoruba

We conducted 2nd term Exams for the students, marked and scored them, and they vacated.


Kehinde was the highest in physics. Before we vacated, the principal alloted subjects to all teachers(both corpers and full staff) to invigilate in the May/june WAEC that was to commence in few weeks time. We were to invigilate along side the external WAEC Examiner. I was to invigilate Mathematics.

We resumed in no time. The WAEC was to start by next week. “guy Igboh no dey dis time oh, to see igboh buy no dey easy, even if u see am sef, e don cost” i said as we shared a small stick of weed in Angom’s room one evening. “na so oh, but e get wetin we go dey smoke anytime wey we no see igboh buy” Angom said. “wetin be dat?” i inquired, “na Cow s’hit wey don dry. U know say Cow dey chop grass, so if dem s’hit, their s’hit come dry, na Igboh be dat oh, e dey high pass the main igboh sef” Angom said. “ehenn, e get one place wey all this Malam dem dey train Cow for the next street, we go go there go park the s’hit” Ilorin concluded.

I was happy, that at least we have gotten a cheaper substitute for weed. Like the saying goes: “when the prefferable is not available, the available becomes prefferable”. Not knowing the “available” would almost make me go nuts.
