The idea that you might fail at school is one that every Nigerian parent can never stand. And it won’t happen — not if they can help it. Because they don’t think the 8-5 classes you do, five days in a week is enough, here comes the lesson teacher – their knight in shining armour – to make their dreams come true.
If you had one of these, chances are that you didn’t like them at some point, so you should relate to one or all of these:
1. This was you every time they walked in like they owned the place
2. What you were (usually) tempted to say every time you joined them in the living room for lessons:
3. How you looked at them whenever your mum offered them food and they accepted it:
4. The passive-aggressiveness when they call you dumb:
5. Or worse, if they reported you to your mum
6. Every new assignment had you like:
7. All the days it seemed like they were not going to make it:
7. But when they eventually came:
8. When you aced your exams and they tried to take the credit
