• Akpors and Father at Graduation Ceremony
Akpors’ father accompanied
him to his school end-of-year
awards party.
As they sat watching amidst
loud ovations, the
beneficiaries were called to the podium for
their awards.
The following conversation
ensued:
Announcer: Best student in
sciences, the winner is Inem.
Father: (Applauds 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 got ready to
start the car, the engine refused to respond.
He opened the bonnet and
touched a few things but his
efforts did not yield any
response so they resorted to
pushing it. Just as they got to the exitof the
school, the
rickety car sparked 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 Navigator, Range
Rover 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!’.
