GUESS THE LECTURER

By

 

At his arrival…

Students enter the class fidgeting and sitting like a statue. 

Feigning all seriousness.

Among them are the ‘ruminant animals’, who can regurgitate the book they chew in 1 second. 

Anyway…

The lecturer enters, sweating profusely. 

Wearing a boko-haram look - no drop of mercy in his eyes! 

Two of the top buttons of his shirt are opened.

Probably his chest screamed: “Baba una no fit kill me. Make I get fresh air abeg!” 

And his tummy? 

Could be mistaken for a woman carrying triplets! 

At once he blurted: 

“Who has a marker here?!

Where is the class rep? 

Is he deaf?

Before that…

If you have not read my play, please go outside now!”

‘Ruminant animals’ who are after the bag and not the certificate,

Joyfully rushed out like frustrated pigs.

Oh sorry... Pigs are actually animals.  

“Ehh you… yes you… come back! 

Are you deaf? What kind of stupid human being is this?!

See the way he is looking… In fact get out! Get out of my class now!”

Who are those left in his class? 

The Ola Rotimi’s and the Soyinka’s… Now bathed with the waters of Pride!

Stage Voice : Hi, How are you doing? Janet : Been good jare thanks Stage Voice : Great, how has your experience been as a fresher of Dramatic Arts? Janet : It has been fun, tedious and stressful. At first, I didn't like the way things were but later on I fell in love with the stress. I really love the initiation part, it wasn't easy but it really grinded me. So far Sha I'm loving it. Stage Voice : What was your best part of the initiation process? Janet : The overnights 🥰🥰🥰. For our set, overnight rehearsals weren't allowed but the coordinators had to do it secretly just for us to catch up on things and because of that the coordinators were kinda nice and very playful during this overnight rehearsals that we do. Although it was draining then, we use to look tattered and stressed, most of us even lost a lot of weight and we were not even eating well but the joy and gladness was there. Having rehearsals overnight was my best part of the initiation process because it es...
