HUMAN HAIR 1
(P.S: I’ve gat a message for you with this picture but first first, lemme throwback with this episode while you wait for the next)
Remember that year na, old school days which began in Army day Secondary School, Effurun Delta State. Strictly on low cut, the screening dey start from assembly ground, das where you see teachers evoking hidden scissors ✂️ from their pockets to disgracefully shave students hair. They go roaming the assembly ground digging their fingers into the depths of our hair, as a matter of fact if your hair passes a certain level, be sure to have a free shave all the way.
Supposing the ‘free shave’ was a decent one, wahala for nor dey, but the opposite was the case. Once you fall prey and the scissors lands on your head no amount of prayer can save you. The teacher leaves a straight route like the one leading from Warri to Ijebu Ode, with potholes to spice it up. Chai some teachers wicked! He does it in a way that no manner of amendment can be done to it, by the time you go home to have it neatly shaved, you’ll end up carrying either ‘ABORI’, or ‘BOLOLO’, (in English skin cut).
I have been a victim before, it was around December, I was jejely saving my hair for Christmas. Made sure I went to bed with a tight scarf tied on my head so that before morning, my Afro would have pressed down and reduced to minimal.
On that terrible day on the assembly ground, screening began as usual and the lot fell on me. Before I say Jack, the scissors ran through my head leaving a ROUNDABOUT which led to nowhere. Poor me! I was so devastated!
After assembly I couldn’t bear the embarrassment from my classmates who started picking on me and teased me to the blue, i jus use handkerchief cover my “RAT CHOP” hair, picked my school bag and went straight home…shame won kee me.
