“You guys have done it again, throughout the weekend I was receiving calls upon calls from different principals of different seminaries who were hailing me on your performance, I am the most grateful”. The principal congratulated the boys.He had handshakes with each of the 50 boys that went to the games and gave each of the sports masters a hug. “This is a great achievement and you may not fully know how many students from far and near will push for their parents to send them to this citadel, you guys are indeed superb”. “I will ensure your dinner is held immediately after your examination next week and not only that I will partake in the trophy parade from tomorrow evening to Wednesday evening”. The principal confirmed and the students were very happy to hear the information knowing fully that with him present, it will be more honorable. “Arrangements are on for every Sunday parade of the trophies to all the churches in this diocese starting from Sunday before the examinations, t
“You spent more time and it was already dark, dad began to inquire about you and mom was reckless so I had to call to know if you were safe”. Gift explained to Daniel. Daniel was already packing his clothes to hold back to school for his exams which will start later in the day. “I needed to discuss in detail the possible moves and it was productive but there is one more difficult stumbling stone to overcome". Daniel answered with a worried countenance.“Tell me about the difficult stone, we will always find a way out”. Gift asked him passionately. “The lawyers said they need the full endorsement of our parents and they must agree and work for hand in hand with them if any progress would be made; the man insisted that it should be done very quickly and urgently as there are other court proceedings that will be done after this stage”. Daniel explained further. “Hmmm” It's indeed difficult, how do we make progress?“. She asked Daniel. “You will continue the fight, you will carry on
Daniel's exam was the remaining one which he will be writing on Monday. Daniel was thankful to God that he didn't enter on Saturday as it was the junior boy's exam that will be written this Saturday. This gives Daniel much relaxation of the heart and peace as he has been allowed to join the principal and his wife at the station with the lawyer. Daniel prepared as early as possible and went to the principal's house to wait for them to finish up. They will be meeting the lawyer at the station. As Daniel was still waiting for the principal and wife, his phone rang. “Hello, Gift good morning”. He answered the call.“Good morning Danny”. His mother replied. Daniel was surprised to hear his mother call. “Mom, what happened to your phone, and what's all these things you people are doing?“. Daniel reacted angrily.“My phone is bad, I have been trying to get your father's heart, I have been working with Gift and I know the whole stories and plans, so I am with you people just that it can't
The young receptionist was rushed to the police hospital very close to her building. She was on the treatment bed when the police began another round of investigation and it was noticed that the cameras close to the direction from which the bullet came were broken. After two days of futile efforts, it was reported back to the lady if any possible solution can come to get close to this devilish act. The lady who was in pain directed them to a hidden camera on the roof and advised them to drop the case if the camera on the roof didn't capture the scene. After the total survey, it was noticed that one of the policemen who was given to her as a protective squad did the dirty work. The policeman was forcefully transferred to the station during this whole scandal. The man in question who thought he had finished his assignment didn't make any move to run away because there again to capture the event.

Daniel and Kaka had followed up with the principal immediately after the party to know what would have led to such a sudden change in the mood of all the teachers and even the principal. However all their efforts to unlock the principal were futile as the principal was weeping soberly. It didn't take a few minutes when the phone principal rang and he picked it up and ran to the other room to answer the call. Something that he has never done before now. This raised more fear inside Daniel. He concluded that they may have reversed the decision on Shola. The teachers joined in the weeping at the principal's house much to the fear of Kaka and Daniel. The principal returned from his call and held himself for some minutes. He took Daniel to the other room and Kaka didn't go with them. After a few minutes they entered, all Kaka could hear was screaming from Daniel. In the next scene, he saw Daniel weeping helplessly just like the principal and the teachers. Kaka approached Daniel to lay h
Family morning prayer commenced with the normal routine section of praises from the last of the five children of Mr Moss, who is a well-known and devout follower of God. The morning prayer was quite different from other days as the day was the birthday of the first fruit of the family. Shola was born eleven (11) months after the union of Mr Moss and his soulmate Mrs Josephine. Faces were glowing, smiles were evidence of the Joy in the hearts of the members of the Family. No sooner than later the praise section ended when Mr Moss, a pious man opens the scriptures to dish out as usual the words of God to the Family. His message was that of prodigal son, nailing on the need for the whole family to stay put on the path of God. Most importantly the need to avoid joining bad gangs. Immediately he finished his words, Mrs. Josephine laid support emphasis to the already dished out words of the husband. “My children, the world has been ruined, and our location has never helped the situation
Mr Moss is well known in his church as a man of records. He is fondly called by youths Paul the writer while some follow men call him secretary to Rome. He can take minute records of events and can easily recall dates and times events took place. On the social platforms, he is the one always referred to when birthdays are required. There is also a room in his house referred to room of records, that is where you will get the real history of the church and all that happened in time past, both his personal and family. Yesterday wouldn’t be different from his normal record life. Of course, he had written down the mighty point he got yesterday from the words of Glory so as to buttress on it to have Daniel sent to seminary.“What were you writing dear when I entered the room yesterday?” Mrs Josephine asked struggling to investigate the more on the note she had seen after the husband left for bible study that same yesterday. The note had it boldly written that “on this day, 6 girls visited
(Family loading bags into the family bus, everyone is busy remembering and gathering all that has been bought)“Hope the provisions for Shola are all already in the bags packed?”. Asked Mr Moss.“Yes, they should be “. Replied Gift (Mr. Moss' first daughter).“So, who and who is joining us on the trip?” Mr Moss asked, cutting eye on Gift. “We don’t need many persons since its Saturday, let the last three kids do the chores”. Mrs Josephine cuts in.“Uhmm, Dad!!“. Gift shouted, Moving towards the Father. “At least let me witness how a seminary looks like please”. She pleaded. “Beloved, please we don't need her, she should organize the house since we won't much hours there”. Mrs. Josephine angrily sounded.“Ok that’s good”. Replied the husband. “Gift my love, please understand what Mom is saying, we will be back as soon as possible”. Mr. Moss said to her, brought out some cash and handed over to her to get some drinks and snacks for the siblings.****** (Having been on the road for

Daniel didn't trouble his mental stability with the thoughts of the last sentence from Kaka on his plan to go for Victoria. After their victory over the Bishop Shanahan boys yesterday which they won by a lone goal from Kaka, Daniel went to a private corner to have more time with Kaka to discuss how real he is with that line of the sentence. “Boy, hope that sentence was a joke, or is it what I am thinking?“. Daniel anxiously asked. “The first sentence should be congratulations on my lone goal yesterday, we would have lost on penalties knowing fully well we don't have many good penalty-takers”. Kaka answered him awkwardly.“Huh, oh! Okay, congrats bro, of course, you know how nervous you are about the details of your plan and target”. Daniel quickly reinstall his topic“There is nothing strong, she has been just a friend, I also chat with her but believe me, nothing serious about us”. Kaka assured him.Daniel breathed deeply. Sighed and relaxed. “I will believe you with some pinch o
It's already a new week, the seminary games are already on with the general welcome ceremony. The seminary schools landed at the venue on Saturday. The hostels, the pitches, and the outdoor games and indoor games venues were ready of course before the arrival of the boys. The opening ceremony witnessed the recitation and singing of all the anthems of each school represented at the games. Each team captain will raise the flag of his school while their anthem goes on. The sports masters also submitted a 50-man list of the squad he entered the games with and all the boys were re-weighed with the few who were slightly above the required kilograms for the junior boys sent to the senior team.Daniel also went to the games after his request to be dropped didn't work out. “Daniel, you dare not expect us to lose both you and your brother for such a critical game, I do in detail understand what you meant by emotional weakness, but I can't drop you”. The principal responded angrily to Daniel.
“Hit him hard!! Hit him hard!!“. Sounded a voice who authorized Shola to be beaten. The men have already started hitting him hard. He couldn't even explain or dish out a word. He was being hauled along the ground outside of the room while they were hitting him stick upon a stick. “Is he ready to talk now?“. The voice yelled.“Please, I will explain!“. Shola shouted in a louder voice.“So where are others?“. The masked man asked him again.Shola cannot and doesn't even know how the guys had escaped. The drugs were so heavy on them that when they were running, having seen the light, they touched Shola only to remember it was his first time doing drugs. None of them could put himself in danger by patiently waking him up. All the guys ran away and Shola wasn't aware. “I wasn't among them, I was lured into this, I just came to see a friend and that's all”. He lied. The men continued beating him mercilessly. Shola cried out all he could but none to his rescue. They dragged him on the fl
Daniel along with the new functionaries began the work excellently. The school was quite enjoyable and the junior boys were at peace with the new set of functionaries. Daniel's classmates were more focused than Shola. Academically too, the boys are much better. Daniel within days of assuming the office has become the favorite of the students. The junior boys are free with him and can open up issues to him. Those that are suffering academically, he puts them through and offers them much help. He also gives food to those that don't have it and ensures no one cheats on the place of food. The principal immediately saw himself loving the functionaries. He even does have time with them more than he did with the former. One of the days of the week being the third day of Shola being out of school, the principal took the head boy and the sanitary perfect in line with Daniel the deputy head boy, and the chapel perfect to one of the towns a bit far from school for a student congress and concer
