Ibro, when you mentioned AKPAYI - it brought back
memories of what we used to do to him when he works
late in Uwakwe's Office (no body has mentioned Mr
Uwakwe - an interesting character, i must confess) we
go by the window where he's typing and begin to sound
like a bush baby saying "Akpayi dodo" repeatedly and
he will respond like we know he will, saying "your
papa - akpayi dodo" For me our geopgraphy master -
the tall Mr Ishola made quite an impact, he always
made us believe we could do it, that was why geography
had quite a lot of A1 from the class of 88. please
anybody with news on how to reach Ali Abdul of "The
class of 88", i and several other class members will
be glad to hear from him.
