DADDY, ARE YOU SURE..............?
I am in a class now and every student or so it seems is uninterested in
the ongoing lecture. Not because it is boring; though it is but because the
lecturer is not audible enough.
At my right side are my buddies who are deeply engrossed discussing
business and at my left, is a colleague who is nursing a female item he brought
to class. Just in front of me is a boy holding a girl’s bracelet while she
laughs and chats with another girl. My humble self is busy putting up this
article.
Now imagine that the scene depicted above is snapped and printed. Then
present it in ten years time when we would have all become parents. Then, we
would probably be scolding our kids that they should be more attentive in class
forgetting that we were once guilty of the same charge.
Everyone seated in class today is liable for the half a million Naira
investment made by our respective parents. I am very sure that such huge sums
could have been put to other profitable ventures but our parents did not want
to see us sit at home.
Some dads would be bragging to their friends that ‘’my daughter is in
covenant university, am sure she is in the lecture room right now’’. But quite
frankly, what is she doing in the lecture room?
‘’yes, there is network’’ came a joyful outburst from a beautiful lady
adjacent my seat with a laptop on her desk. Now can you imagine? In a three
unit course lecture? But sincerely, I am interested in checking what is
happening on the web than strain my ear muscles.
After all said and done, I have come to the conclusion that certain
classes are really wasted efforts and everyone will go through them at one
point or the other but no one will admit same.
If only daddy knew. But one
thing is sure. He will never find out. To this end, I pity all dads!!!!!
