In my junior forms, i was not a big fan of morning mass as i usually ended up sleeping or trying to talk in church which always ended up landing my name in the punishment lists

However, when i tasted the Masters' fish roll...hmmm, i always fought to get to church early so i could sit close to the door. Immediately after mass, i would sprint out of church and run up the hill to buy fish roll from the Master before the Senior Classes started coming or else we would work that punishment for sure.

This became a big challenge in form 4 when Jessica Mbuagbaw was General refectorian. That girl was a runner. She would sprint faster than us to get to the refectory earlier to catch the late comers. So it was a dilemma to stop and buy that fish roll and then try to catch up with her.

Phew...if i get "munku" today na that Lourdes hill oh.

BTW - The master now na cement oh. Nobe mud bricks anymore

Mama miyeh, Morning mass. 

The spirit was always willing but the body was weak. I often had morning fever each time the bell rang at 5:20 am. I remember once the bell rang, one had to sprint to the shower side. How many do remember this sentence "I'm bathing after u". Na shower side vocab be dat. hahaha. The fun is, one day, I couldn't catch up with time, so before I could finish bathing, lights were off. hmmm, this faithful day, when the bell rang 5:20 am, as girls hurried to the showerside, I instead covered my head with my pillow. sleep be want kill me dat morning. Na Loveline Yula be come back frome showerside after she done bathe, then drag sheets off me. hahaha. I hurry soteyyyy, Believe me, it was inside the Cathedral that I realised that my uniform was worn up side down. massah, shame be want kill me. Then as mass be di go on, I be "nyati" turn the side for my skirt. hahaha.

Marja, da de master dey so???? hmmmm I remember someday wey I pick tokyo for go buy fishroll, only for want boss comot for da other side, Fall for Lacoeur e trap. I hide the thing inside my cardigan, then run wey I run. As she call me, I no look back, I run, den just mingle inside group of girls. But at the end, my name be still appear for friday list for ref.!!!
