School ish

Year one.
a student pastor walks in, bible in hand, shirt tucked in a big trouser,the type that 3 people could fit in
He preaches,tells us to shun cultism and examination malpractice  ,ET all
He decides to pray, he prays for our parents, we mumble amen
He prays for our  safety throughout our stay in school,we mumble amen .
Then he says the one prayer freshers always want to hear
"you will never have carryover" ,we shoooooouuutttf AMEN so loud the roof almost caved in
"you will come out with First Class" this time the amen is even louder.
He says the grace and leaves.
We are happy,, confident that this pastor Prayer will surely  be answered

YEAR 4
You are seated in the exam hall, you want to write an exam, no it's not a  a course with code 412 or 414 ,no it's a 100level course
The same course you have been writing for 3years now
Invigilator screams 10minutes more,, your answer sheet is blank no not blank, it's dry
You stare at the ceiling and mutter "my lord my lord, why have thou forsaken me in igbo"
Someone taps you from behind,, "guy abeg tell me number 2,,I get number 4 and 1 for paper if you want I go give you"

You look at the face, your brain does a quick search through the numerous faces You have seen in school, alas it's the pastor.

You take a deep breath,, smile,, then collect the "chip" from
Him

You don't have a choice do you,, you have 5more carryovers to write and if it's these pastor that made you shun malpractice that's gonna save you this time

Let the will of the lord be done.
