It was the first day of the season
and and a new direct entry
student,Mensah,a
Ghanaian,joined the class in one
of Nigeria's universities.
The lecturer said,''let's begin by
reviewing some Nigerian
history.'' the lecturer asked who
said,''i shall return to die in the
land of my fathers?''She saw a
sea of blank faces,except for
Mensah, who had his hand
up.Mensah replied:''King Jaja of
Opobo,1875'' very good said
Lecturer.
Then she asked again, who
said,''The land use act will feed
the nation? Again,no response
except from Mensah:
Obasanjo,1976.''
The lecturer snapped @ the class;
''class,you should be
ashamed.Mensah,who is new to
our Country,knows more about
our history than you do.''the
lecturer heard a loud whisper:
''Ghana must go'' ''who said
that? She demanded, Mensah put
his hand up,''Buhari 1984.''
At that point,a student @ the
back scornfully said; ''hmm, you
think you are smart? ''the
lecturer glared and asked; all
right! Now,who said that?''
again,Mensah said,''Babangida to
Abiola, 1992.
Now furious,another student
yelled; ''Oh yeah! Eat
this!''Mensah jumped out of his
chair waving his hand and
shouting to the lecturer,''Indian
mistress giving an apple to
Abacha,1998.
Now,with almost mob
hysteria,someone said; ''You little
poo. If you say anything else, I'll
kill you.''Mensah frantically yelled
@ the top of his voice; ''Chris Uba
to Ngige,2004.
The lecturer fainted,and as the
class gathered around her on the
floor, someone said; ''Oh
poo,we're Big trouble now!
''Mensah whispered; ''Chimaroke
Nnamani, Ayodele Fayose and
Lucky Igbinedon 2007''
Someone angrily said; ''Dont
answer him,he is a fool'' Mensah
smiled replied; ''Obansanjo to
IBB, 2011''
Now the lecturer manage to get
up and asks Mensah;pls, who are you?
