Lol! Just reading about QC! The funkiest teacher when I was there was Madame Martins and she taught french. Is Mrs Akinsanmi the english teacher? I remember sitting in her A level literature class ( and I was not doing literature) and the book they were reading had something like he drove the jaguar with the speed of a jaguar or something and she asked if the class understood. Trust wicked girls, they said no and she goes, 'he drove the car rough like you know a jaguar, my belle o, my head o!' we laughed and laughed.
ReplyDeleteI remember Matey Obasa (if it is still the same one as she was not the same after Pepi Akinosho gave her the fright of her life one night) going round dorm by dorm, 'Obasa one wake up, it's time to lock the door, Obasa two, be quick it's time to lock the door' and so on. Matey Dan Fodio (Mrs Ajumobi) making the delicious 'queen cakes' as we called them then on Saturdays at 3pm......... Matey Emotan was a hooker. She had a girl called Mary living with her and one emenepre or ABD (African black dog) I can;t remember the name. We were perverted sha as we would put our ears to her window to hear what was going on.
I had Mrs Chukwuma (Chuksie) and Mrs Kafaru (Kaffy) as Principals. Mrs Kafaru introduced house wear to QC when I was in form 3 I think.
