NMA’S CORNER!

The first subject we had this very Tuesday was CRS.
Our test script was going to be shared.
That very morning, we were all punished; it was a bad beginning for the day.

Okoh Joy” that was the first name called.
On taking the script, her face was expressionless, I didn’t understand.
The next was Uzor Kendra.
Her face changed.

E be like person wen dey stone shit for face.
“Uwota Fransisca”

“Biredu Sarah”
Different people went forward to collect their scripts.
Those who left the examination hall broadcasting C.R.S were the best so far even seemed dumbfounded.
E shock them!

On-and-on they went, until it got to my turn.
“Nma Ewere”

I wanted to see the reason why my other classmates became sad.
E hit me like a bomb!
That was a moment of grace.

Never in the annals of the world have they been such a mass failure.
Dip your hands into my eyes, and pluck them out that I may never see C.R.S script again…Nmaaaa…
It was all a dream.
