to his school end of the year
award party.
As they sat watching and amidst
great shouts and loud ovations,
the beneficiaries were called to
the podium for their award
presentation.
The following conversation
ensued:
Announcer: Best student in
sciences, the winner is Inem.
Father: (Applause and eyes Akpors
scornfully) see correct children!
Announcer: Best student in
commercial studies, the winner is
Ajoke.
Father: (Hisses and eyes Akpors)
see correct children.
Announcer: Best student in Arts
and the winner is Helen.
Father: (fuming with anger) See
correct children!!.
And so, all the awards were
presented without any going to
Akpors.
At the end of the event, they left
and went to the car park but as
his dad made to start the car, the
engine refused to respond.
He opened the bonnet and
touched a few things but all to no
avail.
Then they resorted to pushing
and just as they got to the exit of
the school the rickety car parked
up.
Exhausted and profusely
sweating, Akpors rested on the
gate just as his mates were
driving off with their parents in
Hummer jeep, Sequia, Infinity,
Escalade, Bentley, Lincoln Nav and
other exotic cars.
All of a sudden, Akpors burst into
laughter.
His puzzled father asked,'what's
so funny?'
Amidst teary eyes Akpors
responded 'SEE CORRECT
FATHERS!'.
