Francisca's Challenge - Episode 3

The first few days of the Maths tutorial classes was really what Francisca expected.

They explored difficult topics and were given assignments at the end of each class. She was perfectly comprehending every bit of it and to crown it all, Mr Newman has stopped making those immoral advances. 

Her fears were further mitigated the day Mr Newman asked her to drop his lesson notes in his office after the tutorials. At first, she hesitated but had to after convincing herself that nothing would happen. Nothing did happen as Mr Newman only thanked her as she left the office. 

Hmm! Everything seems to be falling in place and Francisca was cruising!

At last she could trust the new Mr Newman who was poised to help her get past her Maths challenge. 

She never knew she had taken the bait !

It was after a class that Mr Newman sent her to do the now normal duty of dropping his lesson note in his office. Just as Francisca was about to leave the office, Mr Newman pulled her back and close to his body. She was really scared but knew exactly what to do once he attempted to kiss her. She slapped and kicked him hard and then ran out of the office screaming. Since school was over by then, no one would hear her scream.

She hurried to her friend Rose who had orchestrated the plot with Mr Newman and asked that they leave the school premises at once. She was already on her way home debunking Rose's claim that she still had work to do in school. 

Rose pretended she never knew what happened on their way home as Francisca related the story of how Mr Newman attempted to kiss her. 

Francisca's Challenge Episode 1

To Francisca's utmost surprise, Rose was not in dissent of Mr Newman's advances. It was then that she related to Francisca the story of her affair with Mr Newman, explaining it was the reason why they were getting on good terms. She also mentioned that it was what almost every girl in class was doing. 

'You must use what you have to get what you want' she concluded. 

Francisca was really shocked at hearing this from a supposed friend. But she could now understand why things were going the way they were. 

Her strong moral family background would not allow her do something wrong in order to pass her exams. 

She made a firm decision on that day to take the bull by the horn. She would deal with her maths challenge alone. She would wake up at midnight to study for three hours while during the day, she would use her free time at school to study as well. 

'No one knows it all', she said do herself. 

The little I know now can fetch me a pass'. 

Francisca's Challenge Episode 2

A happy ending! 

Francisca was excited to receive her result at the conclusion of the exams.

She aced her other papers with an A1 with a B2 grade in Mathematics. 

Yes! She had done it!

The goosebumps all over were as many as the challenges she had to overcome to achieve this result.

At school the next day, it was announced that Mr Newman has been sent packing from the school to the prison yard having been found guilty of impregnating an underaged student. 

Rose was the victim!

Francisca knew she could have found herself in Rose's shoes if she hadn't made the right move at the right time. 

Now she could rest knowing that she has aced her Maths exam without Mr Newman. 

She won the challenge!

THE END!

Francisca's Challenge - Episode 2

Francisca thought about letting her parents in on her ordeal
but on a second thought decided to take it upon herself to figure out a way.

First, she met her friend Rose who was also very good at mathematics to assist her.

Even before Francisca could finish with her request, Rose agreed to help her get past her maths challenge. They agreed upon a suitable time and place to study which gladdened Francisca heart.

At first, it was a smooth sail but things began to get sour as the days went by.

Rose would turn the supposed tutorial classes into a ranting class whenever Francisca mentioned she was lost. Studying turned nagging and Francisca knew she wasn't getting anywhere close to what she wanted. 

ALSO SEE : Francisca's Challenge Episode 1

She had only two options left.

Would she continue to study hard without the guidance of anyone, knowing that there was a higher probability of not passing her exams?

Or

Would she have to meet Mr Newman and seek his assistance?

The second option seemed the more workable and easier way to pass her exams.

What if Mr Newman has changed? It has also been a little while since he made any advances.
Perhaps he may not be as bad as I thought?, Francisca muttered to herself as she struggled to decide. There are now only two weeks before the exam.

Just then, Mr Newman entered the classroom to make an announcement.

'Students who need help on any Maths activity can be a part of the Maths tutorial classes which will hold at the end of every school day.
Interested students can leave their names with the class prefect, Rose.

'Oh, that's the solution to my challenge and the answer to my prayers. At least I can get to study in the company of other students. He wouldn't have the chance to make any moves' Francisca said in a feint voice.

She never knew it was a plot as she hurriedly asked Rose to put down her name.
How everything played out would sway her.

We'll be back next week!

Emeka's Story - How Dangerous Cultism Is (Episode 4)

As someone new to the game, Emeka had to start getting acquainted with his new lifestyle.


He would go out on weekends to drink with his new gang. 
He would always leave home with a book, telling his parents he was going to see a friend living in the neighboring street.
He would then change to his party clothes once he gets to Abit's house. 
Abit was already living without his parents ,having left home once he clocked 18.

It was on one of these Sunday parties that Emeka and his gang had planned to attack Ete. That would make his revenge complete.

The Red Knife and Black Cat guys had been fully drenched with alcohol and drugs before the confrontation began.One of the guys matched the toe of an opposite cult member and a fight ensued.In the twinkle of an eye, the individual fight turned a group fight.

Emeka knew who he came there for and he immediately attacked Ete when he wasn't on guard. He had given him a few blows before Ete got to stand on his feet. A real fight ensued between the two and blood was already gushing from their noses in a matter of seconds. Emeka has become tough, but not as tough as Ete who has been in the game for a long time now.

Ete got the better of Emeka and stabbed a pen knife into his ribs! 

The cult boys fled and Emeka was lying helplessly. Abit who was supposed to be his guard was on the run too, as the police had arrived the crime scene almost immediately.

Emeka's Story - How Dangerous Cultism Is (Episode 2)

The police saw Emeka lying helplessly and thought he had gotten what he deserved. To them, everyone of the cultists should be behind bars or on the other side of life .

The last policeman to run past him said,

'Now he has paid for his deeds'.

At that point, Emeka knew he was done for. He was loosing a lot of blood and the last set of people he believed would come to his rescue just walked by. 

He felt the life going out of him and shortly thereafter,he fainted.


Emeka was to open his eyes five hours later, this time he was lying on a hospital bed with a strange man sitting by his side. He was finally able to recall where he saw the man for the first time.He was the owner of the club house where that bloody fight had taken place.
Emeka quickly thanked the man.

The man related a story of how Emeka's parents had helped him in the past and also mentioned that his parents were already on their way as he has called them after the incident.

His cover has been blown! Emeka never wanted to let his parents know that anything has happened to him and here the man was. telling him they were already on the way to the hospital. 

What could he do now?

He was too weak to run away. Would running away even be the solution to his ordeal ?

His parents stepped into the room ten minutes later.

Instead of being furious as Emeka had expected, they were calm.They didn't scold him but seemed to take the blame for everything that had happened.They said they were too busy to observe the changes that had been going on in their child's life.

Emeka's Story - How Dangerous Cultism Is (Episode 3)

Then came the huge blow, as the doctor who was taking care of Emeka came in with the medical report.
He called Emeka's parents into his office and read the report.
"The patient has tested positive to HIV following the introduction of new red blood cells into his system a few weeks ago. I'm sorry to break this news to you, but your son only has a few years to live".

Emeka's parents were astounded.How could this be? They were sure Emeka had become bad,but how did he contact HIV?

The quickly went over to the room where their son was lying down and broke the news to him, in a bid to find out if he had any clue on how he contacted the virus.

Emeka cried a pool of tears as he narrated a story of how he was forced to drink a cup of blood during his initiation.
'I never knew it was infected!' he screamed.

Emeka's Story - How Dangerous Cultism Is (Episode 1)

Emeka had to spend the last of his few years confined to their home to ensure no one else was to contact the virus. He died exactly two years later.

The End..

A pretty sad end. We look at the morale of the story.

1. Do not let the wrong actions of others make you compromise your good standards
2. Parents should always make out time from their busy schedule to chat with their kids
3. Your parents should be your closest confidant. Do not fail to notify them when you face  difficult challenges at school.
4. Let your friends be those that inspire you. The wrong friends will only end up ruining your life.
5. Cultism is really dangerous. You run the risk of loosing your life for very little or no gain

Emeka's Story - How Dangerous Cultism Is (Episode 3)

'It's obvious you now understand why I wanted you to join us before now.

Ete and his crew would never had robbed your father if you were a part of us.
You know they fear the Black Cats'! Abit boasted.

Preparations for Emeka's initiation was swiftly made by Abit before the day ran out.

During his initiation, a sharp knife was used to cut his wrist open while every already existing member of the 'Black cats' sucked his blood from the opening.

Click on this link if you missed Episode 2

Emeka was really in a lot of pain but managed to manly keep calm.
When a child pours cold water on himself, it doesn't make him shiver.

He was really in to get his revenge on Ete and was ready to do whatever it would take.

He got home that day really weak. Having managed to suppress his conscience in other to do what he clearly knew was wrong, he was hurting emotionally. Physically, he was weak from loosing a lot of blood.



He slept earlier than usual and woke up later than usual.

As the saying goes, no one knows a child a child better his mother.
Emeka's mother had noticed his son was becoming more dispirited as the days go by. She knew something was wrong with him, but couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

Emeka's Story - How Dangerous Cultism Is (Episode 1)

She decided to spy on him by checking on him earlier than usual in the morning. 
Emeka was nursing the cut on his wrist when his mother barged in.

'What happened to your wrist? Emeka's mother asked with a tear already in her eye.

'It's nothing' Emeka quickly replied as he tried to conjure up a lie. He wasn't used to this type of life, or he would have thought of something before now.

The mother was already doing the cleaning and dressing of the cut when Emeka finished preparing his little lie.

'I got injured working at the school farm. Another student unintentionally gave me this cut. He didn't do it on purpose.
The first aid teacher has already cleaned the wound at the school clinic. So I'm absolutely fine.

His mother was concerned on how to get the wound off his son's hand. She wasn't even paying attention to his made up story.

Emeka was pleased as his mom left the room. He has passed the first hurdle but never knew there were even higher hurdles on the track.

Emeka's Story - How Dangerous Cultism Is (Episode 2)

At school the next day, Emeka summoned up the needed courage and walked up to Ete. 


'I saw you at that raid yesterday and I'm here to get my father's  ..'

A wicked slap had landed on his right cheek before he could complete his speech. 

Ete pushed and asked him to leave his sight at once. 

Emeka hurried out of the classroom ,got a piece wood and rushed back to attack Ete. 
A fight ensued and even before some real blows had been exchanged, they found themselves in the Principal's office. 

The principal who knew that Ete was a bad boy, could do nothing but free him. 

Who wants to be attacked? 

Emeka on the other hand was beaten with 12 strokes of the cane. 

He cried excruciatingly as the strokes landed his buttocks. He was only seeking for justice and this is what he gets.

As he left the principals office, Emeka believed there was only one way to get justice for what Ete had done to him. 

Why You Should Not Join Cults

'I would join a cult, more powerful than where Ete belongs. That way, I can pay him back with his own coin', he muttered to himself.

Just immediately, the words of his father recurred,

'Do not make any rash decisions because of what has happened today. Justice will prevail'.

'I have been patient and won't continue to be, till I get my head chopped off by these guys'. 

Emeka met with Abit who has been on pressurizing him to join his own cult group. 
Emeka helps Abit with his exams and for the first time since they cut across each other, it was Emeka who had to demand something from Abit. 

'I am ready to join the 'Black cats' - Emeka spoke softly into his ears.

Emeka's Story - How Dangerous Cultism Is (Episode 1)

It was the talk of the whole town and has even gathered more momentum
in recent weeks as the 'Red knife' guys raided another bar.

The cultists snatched people's handsets and wallets and left the scene immediately they heard police sirens at a far distance.

Emeka was watching from their own house which was adjacent to the bar where the raid occurred. He could recognize the face of one of his classmates Ete who was a member of the 'Red knife' guys. He had known for some time now about his involvement but this was the first time he was seeing him in action.

Then came this battle with his conscience which has become the epilogue whenever he hears about a cult raid.

Coming from a very nice and religious home, Emeka knew without doubt that what the 'Red knife' guys were doing is inhumane.

Also Read : Why You Should Not Join Cults



But he still wondered,

'Since the bad boys always manage to get away from the crime scenes, how would the innocent victims of this raid get justice'?.

He knew something should be done by the government, but is still bewildered by the fact that not even a single member of the cult group has been in police custody.

He quickly swiped the thoughts aside as he heard his Dad call out his name.

His Dad was in the bar when the raid took place and has lost his cell phone to the bad boys.

'My smart phone is gone!' Mr John lamented.

At this point, Emeka got even more infuriated. How could a gang with his classmate in the crew, raid his very own father?

Something must be done about this,he thought to himself.

But what could he do ?

He was a very quite person and would be given the beating of his life, if he ever walked up to Ete to mention that he saw him with the 'Red knife' guys at an operation. Not to mention that his father's smartphone was collected at the spot.


Emeka didn't want to keep quiet about this either. As he remarked,

'It was a slap to his face'.
How could someone, same age as him rob his father?.

He thought about the next line of action.

'I know what I must do now ' he said ,ready to storm out of the room.
His father called him back and said,

'Do not make any rash decisions because of what has happened today. Justice will prevail'.

The Final Laugh - Ken's Story (Episode 2)

During a preparatory class for the mathematics competition
attended by students, Ken left his school bag on the desk with his mathematics notebook on top.

Ben and Festus watched from close range, while Ken excused himself from the class to answer nature's call.

Ken had barely left the classroom when Francis, thinking that no one was watching, snapped up Ken's notebook.
Ben and Festus immediately walked up to him.
They gently made him return the note, as Ken had clearly stated that they were not to create a scene. Everything was now clear for them to understand.

They had sound confirmation that Francis was trying to kick Ken out of the picture, so that he could represent the school in his place. Ken knew he had to be careful from now on.

However, it was what followed next that made Ken regret, not reporting Francis to the school authority.

It was during the school's sport time. Ken and Francis were playing on opposite sides of a soccer team. Ken scored twice but had to be stretchered off just after that!

Francis went in with a tough tackle ,that twisted Ken's ankle. Ken could barely walk.

Fran's really knew what he was doing. No one would send someone with a twisted ankle to represent the school in a mathematics competition, he thought to himself.

Ken knew he had screwed up a bit, he has done his best to avoid Francis up till now, only to lose his guard with only one week left to the competition. What was he gonna do now.
Meanwhile, he had to walk around with a clutch and a bandaged ankle.

Francis celebrated this supposed victory with his partners in crime.

Hahaha!'

The laughter echoed down the hall where they were chilling with a bottle of soft drink each.

'Francis',  called with enthusiasm. 'you are a genius. I salute your cleverness. Even the P. E teacher never believed you did that on purpose.
From this day, I name you Albert Einstein Jr.'

The boys laughed sarcastically once more. Sipped the last drop of the drinks on their bottles and left their meeting place.

It was now two days to the actual competition.

Francis and his friends were also eagerly awaiting the announcement of the name of the student to represent the school. Of course, he knew it was going to be him but he just needed that confirmation.

The confirmation he got was however the least of everything he expected.

The Final Laugh - Ken's Story (Episode 1)

With tears dripping down his cheek,Kenneth fell on his knees
having been hit on the head with a tennis bat.He could not bear the excruciating pain. He decided to stay down as the pain jostle down his spine. He struggled to figure out who had hit him from behind as he knew fully well that he had taken down the group of four boys that attacked him.

As he managed to turn around,he couldn't believe who he was seeing. His eyes widened as he saw who held the tennis bat.

'Francis!',Kenneth called out, still amazed.

'How could you .....'.His voice failed him.He felt dizzy.He thought the world was melting away,but then he realized his eyes were shutting.He tried to lift his hands but it weighed more than he could imagine. He noticed he was blacking out and before he had counted up to five in his mind,he drifted into unconsciousness.

'Ken, please wake up!' was the first words he heard as he slowly drifted back to life.It was another of his friends,Ben,who had rushed him to the school library to regain consciousness.

Awww! Ken screamed as he tried to sit up.

'My head aches,where are we ?

'We are in the school library' Ben answered
'We couldn't take you home ,as we didn't want your mom to know you passed out.I thought we could sort this out ourselves '

Ken remembered the last face he saw before he passed out.

'Oh! who would have believed,my best friend would hit me with a tennis bat?' He asked Ben

'Think less about him now' Ben said reassuringly.
;We must focus on getting you back to fitness' .

'Where are the others ?'
He asked,still fazed by the thought of what Francis had done

'They should be here by now.They went to report to the head teacher'.

Janet,Festus and Gift who were also Ken's friends stepped into the library and joined the conversation.

What really happened ? Janet asked
'Francis happened' Ken replied

'But why would he suddenly attack you with a gang of boys'.



It was only then the Ken's mind flashed back to an announcement the school's head teacher made some weeks ago.

'A mathematics quiz competition has been organised by the state government for students of this region.Our school will send a single representative while the best student at the end of the competition would walk away with #300,000 as well as a scholarship to any university of your choice. I urge you all to work hard while we pick the best student to represent us'

Ken had won the school's test while Francis came second.

Now Ken could figure out the reason why Francis had hit him with a tennis bat.
'He wants to stop me from taking part in the competition.There is no way I'm going to let him do that.

How sure are you about this ? Festus asked,

I'm super sure about this and there's a way to confirm my claims'. Ken said.

'How exactly do you intend to go about that ?' Ben chipped in

'We test him' Kenneth said.

'And how do we do that, Francis is smart and you know that', they all said almost immediately.

'I think I got an idea' Ben said. They closed around and Ben related his plan to them..

When To Say 'NO' To A Friendship (Ted's Story) Episode 1

It was a rainy Monday morning and like every other school day,
Ted had gotten up very early to prepare for school.

Instead of the warm smile that is seen on his face every morning, he was looking dejected. A thought had been lingering on his mind throughout the weekend and it seemed he had to make a decision faster ,now that he was about to face his opponents (friends).


They used to be very close friends since childhood but he really could no longer explain  their actions since they turned teenagers. John and Chris had experienced a dip in morals.

It all began with skipping classes, next they joined a bad gang, started smoking and gambling with the most  worrisome to Ted being that they have started having sex.

Since they had been close friends, Ted never wanted to do anything to hurt them. Thus, he didn't inform their parents or even his own parents about the change in their habits. He has even helped them cover up their crimes with his trickery and lies on some occasions. That wasn't his problem now, anyway as he has gotten accustomed to doing that.

John and Chris has been mounting increased pressure on him to join their gang. Ted had already started missing classes ,but to them that was merely a preamble.
Before Ted left for home on Friday, they had firmly told him to either join them or stop being their friend.

They wanted a response and Ted promised to give them an answer on Monday.

Ted didn't want to lose his childhood friends neither did he want to give in to their unhealthy pressure to join them in what he knew was a wrong course. That was the thought he was battling with that morning till he stepped into the school gate.

Ted had barely gotten into the classroom when they came up to him.
'So what's your answer Ted?' they asked with eyes firmly fixed in his eyeballs.
The pressure got to him and Ted made a decision he would come to regret in the long run.

'I will join your gang guys' Ted muttered.
They embraced him and made fake promises to always stand by his side.

Ted never knew he was signing his downfall.
Series of events that unfolded within a year only affirmed he had made the wrong choice.

For a start, they hooked him up with a very beautiful girl in class ,Laura. Laura was a brilliant girl but just like Ted, her friends has succeeded in ruining her moral life. She has had an affair with half of the boys in the class and Ted was next.

It was at a classmate's birthday party that Ted's life was properly ruined.
