Wale’s heart was beating fast, so fast that he thought it was going to race out of his chest. His hands were sweating profusely, threatening to drown his Nokia 3310® but not as much as the ocean of salty liquid that had gathered on his chest and armpit. It was almost a minute since he got the “what is it” response to his “I want to tell you something” statement and he was still struggling to find his voice, it was another definition of dumbness. In that tense and fearful state, he managed to mumble some words after a while. “What did you say?” Kemi queried instantly. Kemi was the active and lively type, always with friends, never afraid to challenge anybody and never ashamed to utter her views. She was the opposite of Wale.

The Best Way to Hide your Valuables
Some years ago, I was billed to take the Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board’s Exam. I was very prepared and very sure that I would
score above 200 marks, which was the minimum cut- off for progression unto the
next stage of the admission hunting war. I was however, not sure of the
particular range above 200 my score would fall into: whether it would be 201 or
299, I couldn’t say, I just knew that based on my level of preparation, I could
not score below 200. But I wanted to score very high, at least in the range of
250 - 270 to boost my chances of gaining admission that year. So I met a friend
who was into exams runs and he promised to forward some answers to my phone on the
day of the exam as far as I can manage to take my phone into the exam hall. I
knew that might be a problem, but I still assured him that I would be with my
phone and he should perform his magic as promised!
