Well, in actual fact the gari wasn't stolen. After dinner that night my friends and i thot the coast was clear to take the gari into the hostel, so we got the gari tiptoeing back to the hostel we heard a voice from behind us it was Mrs Echiokwu, she asked us to stop frozen to own feet we stopped turned to face her and she started shouting, she said she was going to report us to Col Ayoola and you all know what that meant she seized the gari from us and that was the last i saw of the gari where it finally landed no one can say!

I remember we arrived with the school bus from the airport that term, must have been in 1985 not quite sure and was told that everybody had to be checked at the administrative block to be sure that we had all that was in the school prospectus for the term and then a notice was also placed that no one was allowed in with garri. I also remember that for the first time since i got into command in 1983 i had almost half a bag of garri that term, i decided to hide it outside while the check was going on inside the staff room, i was luck to get away without being catch then the next hurdle was to get it pass the perfects at the gate of the hostel i realised it was going to be a very difficult task so i hide it behind the assemble hall hoping to go back for it later at night. my friends and i thot it was a well thought out plan until.......
