ARROGANCE
Somewhere in Lagos, lived a high school student, Ayodeji Richards popularly known as AY. He attended Modes College and he was the labour prefect and also the class captain of his class.
The tall, dark and handsome boy was always the talk of the school. Not only was he handsome, he was also intelligent and very active. He was on the football team of the school as well as the debate team and jet club, AY was loved and praised by every teacher in the school; they would always use him as an example and say "be like AyOdeji Richards he is so intelligent and respectful or "Ayodeji Richards, the boy with the perfect grades right from J.s.S.I but of course his classmates and peers did not like him for he was so proud and arrogant.
Ayodeji Would always go about boasting to those who weren't as intelligent as he was. He did not have so many friends as no one wanted to be his friend even though he had all they wished for but because he had such a pompous attitude and would often demean others, they steered clear of him. His only friends were Emeka Eze, Tunde Ajayi and Qudus Jimoh and they nicknamed themselves "the bigger boys".
AY and his friends would bully other.students and threaten to beat them up if they ever reported and so he was feared by his fellow classmates and junior students. Nobody could muster up the courage to report him and his friends hence he continued to be an angel in the eyes of his teachers.
These bigger boys indulged in negative activities such as gambling, bullying, drinking and wild partying, but with all of these, Ayodeji still kept his excellent grades but the opposite was to be said about Ayi's friends, they were more concerned with keeping their popularity than focusing on their studies.
Their final examinations WASSCE were approaching and Avodeji not wanting to have any grade lower than "A" started preparing but his friends Emeka, Tunde and Qudus would always laugh and call Ayodeji too serious". Ayodeji not wanting to lose the respect of these friends as he was the leader of their small gang would stop reading and join his friends in whatever new activities they found to do. Well. Ayodeji would always say to him self, "l am intelligent and I have always had good grades so a little playing here and there will not bring me down".
The examinations arrived and all was going well until Ayodeji got carried away and decided to attend a party with his friends just a day before his last examination which was geography. He partied all through the night and thus did not get the chance to revise his books before his examination which was to hold by 12.00pm. Ayodeji not wanting to have any grade lower than 'A' decided to sneak into the examination hall with a foreign material where he wrote down answers on. Unfortunately, while he was too distracted copying from the paper, he was caught by the external invigilator. He was made to fill an examination malpractice form and he was brought out on the assembly ground that afternoon and flogged in front of all the students. He lost all respect in the eyes of all his teachers. He was so ashamed; and humiliated. 'Ihad never felt so embarrassed in my life' says Mr. Ayodeji as he coneluded his story.
