MY DAUGHTER CLASS REPOST CARD

My daughter got a B2 on her class report card. I know B2 might not mean 2nd place, but when I showed one of her teachers, they confirmed she actually took second position. Curious, I grabbed a pen and recalculated her total scores only to realize her teacher had deducted 132 marks from her overall result.  

I’ve decided not to confront the school about it. I don’t want to stir up complaints or create resentment toward my daughter. Some battles aren’t worth fighting.  

Last week, I took my daughter to Zenith Bank in Area 8. I’d promised her rewards for good grades, but reality hit hard I need to beg bank staffer to lend me ₦70.  

As we left, she spotted a school nearby where kids were singing and playing outside. Daddy, I like this school she said. Since asking questions doesn’t kill, I walked into the admin office for details.  

Then I saw the fee registration breakdown.  

My eyes glazed with 40 wonders of Tinubu. I turned to the administrator “My daughter isn’t starting a PhD this is primary school. 

She laughed. We can give you a 20% discount.

I mentally calculated it… and realized that “discount” alone could fund the foundation of a 3-bedroom house😭 I grabbed my daughter’s hand. We’ll get back to you I said to the administrator. 

Outside, I smoothly pivoted to my daughter “Sweetheart, their teachers can’t even speak good English. Your old school is better.”

Then, I Bought meat pies and soya milk to drown the memory so I don't enter middle of road and shout Jesu..... Na money for Japa this people they collect for just a term for primary school pupil 😬

Verdict, I’ve accepted it. B2 is just fine for her. 🤣🤣

Until the moment when will shall dance in white Greater Grace.
