Reminiscing about uni in Ghana. I remember arguing with one of my lecturers twice and one of those times he told me to leave and I refused, which made him leave. He didn't like me and expressed it openly
I still got an A in his course
That would have been impossible in Nigeria.

He asked me to leave because I came late to class and he had a nobody should enter the class after he has.
I refused because I wasn't in secondary school.
That was the last day he enforced that rule too.
He didn't like me but saw sense is what I had done.

I remember Mr White in Bells. 6 hours class. Boring af but attendance was a must. Also you cannot enter the class after he had.
That wasn't a problem for me tho. I came to class an hour to the end of it and with careful preparation, I entered every time.

Only needed to ask of my friends to distract him.
Two stairs entered the top part of MPH. I asked a friend to cause a distraction on one part of one and while he was focused there, I entered through the other.
He must have wondered why there was always a form of distraction

1-2 hours before the end of every class.
I had cool mates too. They didn't snitch.
I failed the course but I had 100% attendance.

Secondary school was a movie on its own.
I hated stupid rules and never conformed.
By the time I left, I was a favourite of most of my teachers. They appreciated the consistency and the willingness to bear the punishment.
I was just one of those people.

I remember getting taken to the staff room of Baptist Academy so that the teachers could take turns flogging me.
What they didn't know was I had been a boarding student in Mayflower since primary 1 and cane was a joke to me at that point- SS1.

At some point I opened my mouth and told them. I do not cry for cane. If that's the goal of this whole session, you would have to flog me till tomorrow. I have been trying to cry, it's not just coming.
My maths teacher said that was what saved me. They had intended to flog me

till I cried.
And in a way, that attitude is still with me.
If something didn't make sense to me, you couldn't make me conform. Damn the punishment.
School was fun looking back at it.
It's a miracle I graduated 3rd best student in my department.
I could have graduated top if more

lecturers liked me though. But that's something I'm prepared to live with.
