Chicken! Chicken!!

How my mom will cut the Chicken, season it, saute it in the stew, add boiled eggs, coupled with how it's fragrance will fill my nose, giving me the go ahead signal "it's time" and the manner in which I'll be served.

I alone; two Chicken laps, 2 eggs, rice with stew and chilled Orange juice.

Hmm Yummy😋😋
What else can a last born enjoy.

These were the imaginations that filled my head while Civic Education class was going on. I wasn't bothered because I lost interest in the class a long time ago because of the teacher.
She's a dark, slim and ugly looking lady who picked on me each time we had her subject.

I was daydreaming!!

I always daydream with ease because I sit a the back, beside the window. After all, it will be our last class before going home, so I couldn't wait to eat the Chicken mummy promised me.

"Emma! Emmanuel! Stand up", the teacher screamed.

I was about digging deep into my fantasies when I heard her call me. I came to the conclusion that she's about to pick on me again. I stood up reluctantly.

"Yes Ma", I replied

"Who's Nigeria's first Colonial President?", She asked.

"Kaduna" I replied.

The whole class burst into uncontrollable laughter. Some of my classmates even made mockery of me while laughing. My teacher looked at me stunned.

I am what you'll call a typical "Olodo". In previous academic records, I would come out 22nd out of 25 students and tell myself I tried.

"Get out of my class you fat fool!", She said.

Already looking embarrassed, I slowly left my seat, heading towards the door. My heart began tearing apart as walked between seats, while they continued laughing.

Unfortunately, we have a mirror beside the door of our class. I got a chance to take a good look at myself through this mirror.

Yes! I'm fat😔

My head is quite large. My cheeks are larger than 2 egg rolls combined, coupled with large buttocks like a bag of sachet water. I had no choice but to agree with my teacher.

I'm indeed a fat fool.

I walked out of the class in shame.
