The Preacher Son

Episode 43

Our school has a sacred law, which could guarantee someone an expulsion, things like leaving school before closing, smoking and other cultism stuffs.

I went to ease myself one day and i heard a voice behind me.
“Wetin you dey do there”
i turned around with fear and saw senior Jacob and some of his mates coming to my direction.

“Senior i come piss” i quickly repackage my urine tank and zipped my shorts and then quickly ran pass them while a knock was place on my coconut head.

Something told me to watch them so i turned and secretly followed them.

It was with great joy that i caught senior Jacob and some of his collaborators scaling the school fence to go and smoke indian hemp.

I quickly ran to Mr Ephraim’s office and reported what i saw, some teachers were ordered to go catch those miscreants and i beamed with joy that my revenge was complete.

They smoking students were ambushed and caught while some of them escape for their lives.

Senior Jacob and co were all dragged back to the school like criminals and taken to the principals office.

The greatest mistake the school did was to call me and congratulate me in front of the raging students who looked at me scornfully but could do nothing.

Word later got out that a junior student exposed an ss3 student and before that day was over different seniors were coming to jss1&2 classes to ask of the miscreant that exposed their mates.

Nobody knew it was i, so when they came to my class and ask that question i quickly got up and shouted.

“The person wey expose this senior eh, Na God go punish am”. Well God truly punish for sure.

“Can you see this boys, they are miscreants, sturborn and gruesome cultists. This are the kind of boys who visit people’s home and rob, kill and convert peoples properties” our proprietor who we called “big uncle” was speaking to the whole assembly that afternoon.

Big uncle as his name truly imply was a huge man, who never stops tucking in his shirt in his trousers and putting it on his tummy.
Even if he wore a t-shirt and jeans trousers he would also tuck it in and raise it to his tummy, he was also a sU-Cker for punishing students who he caught with their shirts down.
He once told us that any day we catch him without tucking in his shirt we should tell him;
“Big uncle, turn your bum bum, and we should give him 24 strokes of cane”.
One boy that was in assembly that day shouted, “Big uncle, what if we catch you with agbada and you did not tuck-in.

We all turned and looked at the boy and laughed like mad men, while he was called to the podium where teachers stood to conduct assembly and was given ten strokes of cane to clear his foolish brain of any silly questions in the future.

“If we leave them like this, they would corrupt the minds of this young ones and spoil them, and they cant be good leaders of tomorrow” he continued talking while referring to us as young ones.

I turned round to look for who he was calling young ones because as for me, i no be small pikin again.

“To prevent these kind of things to happen in my school again and corrupt these young ones, i decleared you all are expelled permanently from this school, and for smoking in school you are all to be given 24 lashes of cane each” big uncle finally decleared and brought his big cane out.

Some of the students who were caught started shaking because big uncle’s cane was the most dreaded in the whole school.

They were la!d one by one on the floor and trashed. We all watch in amusement while the scratched their arse and rolled around until it came to senior Jacob’s turn.

We all waited to see how the most dreaded prefect would scratch and scream, he la!d down gently and big uncle started flogging him.

We counted in our minds and we were expecting him to start shaking but nothing happened, he just got up and cleaned his trousers and walked away.

The shock on the face of big uncle, the teachers and we the students started screaming and hailing the iron man who
