My college struggle as an African-Nigerian

√ Chapter 17 √

'Bzzzzzzzzzz'!

the sound of the alarm clock droned in the room .

I struggled to wake up ,with a start I sat straight up in my bed today was Monday and I had to be on time.

I was showering with alot going through my mind ,

why do I always look so stress out , if Waec examination makes one to look like this then what will university first semester exam look like; I definitely had alot right now on my mind .

I got dressed finally looking all smart like the normal me ,

school prefect wasn't craving me any longer i felt like a lost bird and that my puppy eyes when a teacher yell at me for not performing my duty as the health prefect ;

I was becoming too fed up that words kept ringing right inside my head .

"where the hell is Bianca Williams"

oops I could hear the health mistress yelling at some students asking them to go fetch me,

'phew' right now am about to give up ,

but this tiny voice kept yelling at me to get back into the game .

The seriousness i develop this few day was a different one ,

I looks like I was becoming a crazy being , the more you read the more you snack like a hungry lionness ,

more practical to be done that's the part that kills me the most , most especially looking through the glass prism .

Ahhh that was one of the practical i ran away from in my SS 1 ,

but now it's back again to torment me more ; at this moment it's looks like most people in my class 'the boys' wants to chase me out of my own seat ;

I was sitting while trying to solve an equation when i saw Samuel struggling with his desk hmmm guess what ?

he was bringing it closer to where Rahila and i were sitting ;

I tried my best not to smile because I don't really know what all this my class boys wanted so I decided to keep my cool after what kingsley said about me the last time.

"Hey Bianca can i put my desk close to yours" says Kingsley after placing his desk and school bag right on my direction ,

after noticing him I didn't bother giving him a glaze .

Then he sat down looking so pityful ; there was something I never liked about this Samuel of a boy he acted really weird.

Ishaya has done his own scene and has moved on,

he later got closer to those other dudes and the click so soon,

now it's Samuel hmmmm one thing I only like about Samuel was that he was a guru ( intelligent) in almost all the subjects and he doesn't seem to have much friends when ever you see him he is always with a physics or chemistry text book which makes me so angry at times and also for the fact he was sitting close to me and still act like a weirdo .

"Bianca hmmm what's going on; this desk shouldn't be here"

says the environmental teacher when he came to inspection our classroom .

" Sir i wasn't the one who brought the desk"

I said looking at Malika who has been solving

algebraic equations in math ,

i was expecting him to say something but he kept quiet doing his thing,

hmmmm I was just waiting for the scene Samuel will display this time and that part the teacher will finally ask him to go back to his seat phew,

but to my greatest surprise the environmental teacher asked Samuel to tell the students at the back seat to move their desks back so he can put his seat in a good position ,gosh I was really mad .

"Bianca why are you so obsessed with this your seat and position ,

you sef know no say if they won beat na you go be the first."

Says Malika then I looked at him and laughed saying

"abeggi which kind ,but how come you are so quiet when am expecting you to defend my words".

After saying this Malika said laughing as though what I just said was very funny, soon Samuel was done adjusting his seat then he came back smiling gosh I wasn't in the mood for any argument so I just let him be .

I was getting bored, so I asked Malika to teach me the equation he was solving.

When you talk about our educational system and why it's not in the a favorable way ,you should just blame the government.

this remains me of this quote that was stated by Daniel Uche Ehiaghe

The reality of Education in Nigeria is still on the pages of our Literatures... Not until we learn to put those knowledge into practice to better the lives of our dear Nation, Education will always remain a SCAM.

But for real education will remain a scam if will aren't brave enough to put it into practice ,

but will our government allow that when we have unemployed citizens all over the states and cities.
