My grandmother released me to Mr Adewale.
I started a new life with Mr Adewale 's family.
Mrs Adewale was a primary school teacher.I was to promote to primary 5 when I left grandma place.
I was tested with primary four and five exams,I could not do well.
infact,I can't read what the primary four and five texts that was given to me.
The headteacher asked me to repeat primary four.
Because primary four and five prepare for common entrance exams class.There is no
how I can cope with their exams.
It was public schools but full of discipline
nothing like private school then.it only one private secondary school we have in
that town,Owani.
The two popular schools then were Federal or unity schools and public or Government schools.
The rich people registered their children to unity schools.
Some less privileged registered their kids to give their children best education
Mrs Adewale trained me how to read and write from scratch during the holiday before the holiday ended
when she notice I can't read well and write ✍️.
Everyday she must give me texts books starting from primary one text books, when she set questions and and asked me to answer them all
the moment she knows am already doing well on the text, she will proceed to another class text books,primary two,to primary three to primary four to primary five I can now read fluently and answer any questions she gave me in compression passage.
Before the holiday was over I was able to read all the texts books from primary one to primary six.
But she discovered I don't like to solve mathematics.
she focus on mathematics for me to solve.
she doesn't bothered to give me comprehension passage.again
Ahh !!mathematics is like asking me to sit with my enemies.Am not always comfortable when ever she give me mathematics to solve.
I will look for one work and other pretending that am busy just to avoid mathematics that day😁.
After some hours,she will say live that work and come and some this exercise if I failed it she will flog me
She trained me till we resume the next section.
The headteacher that texted me asked me during holiday asked me to stay in primary three.
The class teacher discovered that I was too brilliant to stay in primary three.
That was after two weeks of resumption.
The headteacher gave me primary four and five texts exam I passed it.
She was 😳 wow!she said am not that good in mathematics that I should stay in primary four.
That was how I was promoted within two weeks of resumption.
Mrs Adewale makes sure I don't play with friends I must always studying books.
During breakfast if she sees me working around with friends instead of staying in the class reading I will meet my punishment
When we get home.
I became best students in my class.
When I got promoted to primary five.I started going out together with primary six students for quiz competitions.
We won some some schools,we came out third.
When I was in primary six.We went out for quiz a gain,we came out Second among all the 30 schools that represented in that town.
We sat for common entrance, government failed many students that year.
I was on the top of the list of students that passed that year.
Mr Emiloju was a secondary school teacher
She asked Mrs Adewale to register me to federal school, there's a big chance for me to gain scholarship in unity schools.
Mrs Adewale said,she can't pay for my school fees.She asked Mr Emiloju to talk to my grandma or grandma first son which is my mum elder brother.
Grandma first son was the with grandma.
With his wife and three children.
They were in the same town with Mrs Adewale.
Mrs Adewale and Mr Emiloju discussed it with Mr Dan,my mum elder brother but he wave it off.
To be continued.

Do well to follow me for more faces of the story of my life.
What lesson can you draft out from this face 2?
