How I knew I attended a great secondary school

Nigeria police farce: who did this to us?
This is not an undercover report by BBC. This is an open cover report by a Nigerian citizen in distress. Recently, my WhatsApp number was hacked into by cyber criminals who went on to use my ID to solicit funds for a childish Ponzi scheme from my chat groups. Luckily, no one was fooled.
Some of the things that used to happen at school
I am happy I am available to write into this new magazine named the “Renaissance”. Renaissance means ‘rebirth’,” reawakening “. This suggests that something existed before but not anymore or seems no longer there , and one wants to bring it back to life.

My Romance with the game of Cricket from 1954 to Date
I was admitted into Government Secondary School, Owerri, along with twenty nine other boys, on September 6, 1954. The school ran three terms per academic year. Our first term in the school commenced in September, 1954 and ended in December, 1954. Football was played in this term. The school placed a lot of emphasis on both academic work and sports/games. Each time we came out for games in this football season, our Games Master, Mr. Ben Chukwudebe who took a lot of fancy for me, placed me to play at the centre forward position.

Most people do not reminisce over mundane issues. Neither do they soliloquise about them. As private as this may be, it might not be normal or is it? These days I have inevitably formed the habit of revelling in such reminiscences. The subject matter of what propelled me to do so is the first sentence in our school anthem –‘remember where you come from’.
