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!!!!!
