FRIDAY 26TH OF OCTOBER, 2001
I woke up as early as possible because today is assembly day. I was unable to take my bath early and I became a victim of prefects chasing. Senior Moses, labour prefect was on duty, so he is the one chasing. I begged Kamal to save me from him. He however flogged me once and let me be.
After classes we went to mosque to pray Juma'at prayer. After we have finished praying, I went straight to dorm to change to my compound wear before proceeding to class. Abubakar, however asked me to sweep the hostel and before I finished Senior Junior asked me go to the corridor. I was very annoyed. In the corridor Kayode started to trouble me. We almost fought before senior Kingsley came and asked us to lie down that we are distracting his attention. I told him I am innocent but he still insists on my lying down.
Kamal Garba came to intervene. He asked us what happened and Kayode lied that I was insulting him in the dinning the previous day. I denied what he said, I explained everything and Kayode was punished in the end.
After that we were assigned work in the sideways to scrape the ground. The day was so annoying and laborious. I wrote a letter home and gave it to Abdullahi who will be sneaking out to help me deliver it.
FRIDAY 25TH OF MAY,2001
We went to the assembly as early as 7:00 a.m. In the assembly the Commandant advised us to enroll in a vocational institution so as to spend our four months effectively. We closed from assembly and we were allowed to go to hostel to carry our luggage. Lawandi accompanied me to Farar Gada to board Bauchi Park bus.
I boarded Kano bus by 8:45 a.m. and we commenced journey by 9:00 a.m. We arrived Kano at 12:00 p.m. I found it difficult finding the bus to Yankura because the Friday prayer is being conducted along the way. Luckily enough, the bus I boarded at last, is going straight to Bachirawa. I gave the bus conductor N40 as the fare. I arrived home at 2:30 p.m.
On arriving home, Abba and Jamilu my nephews ran towards and welcomed me back home.
SUNDAY 22ND OF APRIL, 2001
I woke up as early as 5:45 a.m. I said my Subhi prayers and by 6:00 a.m. I started reading my books. I revised some topics in JSS2 English Language and Mathematics. I went to my eldest brothers house Kabiru to collect fruits for my sick daddy. When he came to greet mum and dad, I let him know that I shall be resuming school on Monday or Tuesday.
My daddy collected my result that he wants to show to his friend. I had 10 A's and 1 credit in Mathematics but I prayed to God to let me have 10 A's in my JSCE. I also remember that I promised my God four days fasting after my JSCE, at home or school.
I went to my sister Mannira's house and show her my results and school magazine. She promised to give me the money she purchased my toy telephone as soon as we are about to return school. My paternal aunty Hajiya Shatu also visited to see my niece, Samina's daughter Rahama.
