Men Dey Reason - S01 E111

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 111

I went to cut my hair in the barber’s shop one

evening, when i got there, the crowd was too

much, so i went back home. At home, i slept off,

and woke up by 10pm.

I hurriedly went back to the barber’s shop and

discovered the place was locked, they had closed

for the day.

I had to cut my hair by all means, so i opted for

the lost cause of searching for a barber’s shop

that was open. I found none, they had all closed

for the day.

Why i had to cut my hair by all means was because

a Soldier(i went to a military school) had warned

me not to come to school the following day with my

bushy hair. To make matters worse, we were

writing our exams, and there was no way i could

miss going to school.

Corporal Ibrahim was dreaded by all, no student

could survive just five strokes of his cane. And he

was always on duty at the gate. Always.

I thought of what to do for my hair not to remain

the same. Then i concluded i would use the

combination of Scissors, Razor blade and Comb.

Scissors was first used to reduce the hair to an

extent, then Razor blade and Comb took over.

We would had stopped at using Scissors alone, but

it would had been a “rat chop” haircut. And a “rat

chop” haircut was too bad for a handsome SS2 boy

like me, so we went further using Razor blade and

Comb to do the dirty job of “Afarikorodo”.

The Razor was new, so it was sharp and it cut

some part of my head, making me bleed seriously.

Maybe it was because the person that cut the hair

wasn’t skilled at using Razor blade and Comb.
