another heated and violent argument with

years of age and in 300 level.His mother
knows about Jemimah which he was dating
but was confused when she heard

and shrugged her shoulders.
Jake heaved as he stepped on the house’s
staircase.He entered the sitting room and
met his father seated.He looked angry as
he read the newspaper.
“Daddy…Good morning”He greeted but got
no response.
“Daddy”He called once again.His
sister,Margaret rushed out of her room
shouting”Jakeee!!!!”.She was happy to see
her elder brother.”Maggie

smiling.
“Hmm..What about you?”She said timidly.
“Don’t talk to me like that,i’m three years
older than you”Jake teased and laughed.
“Hmmm…and so?”The girl said laughed.
“Anyway how’s JABU?(Joseph Ayo Babalola
university)”He asked.
“JABU’S fine”She said.
“You two must be very stupid”Their father
roared.
Jake lifted up his face looking at him.
“Daddy now”Margaret said sadly.
“If you call me again..You won’t make it in
life”Their father cursed her.Jake smiled.
“And you..I knew you have been
cursed..Right from your birth you have
been the worst”Their father continued in
his loud thundering voice.
“Spare me that!!!..What have we done to
deserve curses?…”Jake roared back at him.
“Are you talking to me?…How dare
you?!!!”Their father said getting up.
“How dare me?…How dare you too curse
us for no reason?!!”Jake fired back.
“Egbon mi…Please calm down”Margaret
pleaded to jake.
“Paaaaa!!!”A hot slap landed on Jake’s face
from his father.Jake went berserk and
headbutted his father.They started
wrestling with each other.Margaret
screamed and ran out to call their mother
who was at her friends place in the third
house to theirs.They rushed back to the
house.Their mother entered screaming
Jake’s name.Jake and his Father locked
each others clothes red faced with anger.
“What’s all these?…Do you want to kill
me?”their mother said tearfully.Margaret
was crying all through.Jake left his father’s
shirt and walked away.”I don’t want to see

“I flippin won’t come here again..Have my

“Ohh so you can marry the b---h you’re

“She’s better than you anyway”Jake’s

David got down from the Bus.In order not
to attract attention,he didn’t take any of
his vehicles to school.He carried his cross
bag which contained a pistol.Unknown to
him as he alighted,he had been spotted by
a member of the ĀYE cult.The member
called the others and informed them
about his presence.The three members
who had laid in wait sprung into
action.They came out from three different
angles with axes in hand to kill him.David
picked up a race as they chased him.He
opened his bag, brought out his pistol and
shot one of them on the forehead.He
dropped on the ground.The people around
took to their heels as they the cultists are
about to start their killing sprees.David
continued to run,hoping to get to the
school main gate which he was already
seeing from far off.Out of nowhere,a
cultist slid into his legs tripping him to fall
down heavily.The Ä‚YE cultists of about 8 in
number and circulated him.They lifted
their axes and started cutting him but to
their astonishment the blades weren’t
cutting into his flesh.They looked at him
loss at what to do.One of them got down
on his knees,he took david’s neck and
started squeezing hard.David wheezed
loudly with water running out of his
eyes.He couldn’t break the choke and
soon the guy twisted his neck breaking the
bone.David died immediately.They then
cut him into pieces with their axe.They
packed his cut up body and threw it at the
front of the school gate.
The students were moving around
peacefully in the school’s
enclosure.Although they have been
informed of the cultists fighting they knew
not that it was the SUG president that was
being fought.The Security guards at the
gate broke the news that a dead body was
thrown at the main gate which had been
locked to prevent chaos from entering the
school.They musterd up courage,opened
the gate and went to inspect the corpse.To
their surprise,it was David Ridd,the loved
by all SUG president!.

her intensive care ward.It was a Nigerian
channel showing an Igbo movie.She loved
it and smiled at intervals.Soon,the movie
was carried away and a breaking news
