I can see a hall filled with neatly arranged chair and table. Probably in readiness for an examination. The number of the table and chairs may be up to three hundred or more because from the picture given, I can count one hundred and fifty already.

If the hall is for an examination, it will be one of major or important examination school children write which is either WACE or JAMB because those are the two major examinations a child is expected to write after complimenting secondary school and the later will be used for admission placement in the tertiary institution of choice.

Each time i find my self in an examination hall, two stories usually comes to my mind so I will share one today. Some years ago, during our WACE examination. It was about two hundred of us or more writing the examination in my school because students came from other unregistered schools to register with my school.

Almost all our papers went well till the day we wrote Christian Religion Studies(CRS) examination. Need I tell you that the subject is a departmental subject for those in Art class alone so we were few in number in the hall on that day.

Thirty minutes before the end of the paper an external invigilator walked into our hall and we didn't greet him. We didn't greet not out disrespect but based in the orientation we were given. During orientation we were told to face our work and form busy when we see a strange face walk into the hall.

We were also told that if the invigilators should catch us with anything incrementing it will be our business to settle so we were on our own. The movement the man walked in, Funke of one my class mate became restless and started shivering. I guess that was what drew attention to her.

Funny enough, she was sitting just two seat ahead of me. The movement I saw that the examiner approaching I wispperd to her saying Funke eat that expo you have with you but her response got me like wow.

She said how to you expect me to eat a whole bible now, where do I start from. Sincerely, I was amazed like who carrys a bible to an examination hall with the aim of cheating from it. Thank God it was not during the time of Moses thunder would have strike all of us writing the examination that day.

Luckily the external invigilators phone rang and it was his pregnant wife that was calling because she was in labour so he had to rush out (so we were told). If not, Funke would have explained what she was doing with a bible while writing examination on a bible related subject.

After the examination I asked Funke how she managed to get the bible in into the hall despite the checking at the entrance then she told me she got to school earlier than usual and kept it there then went back home and pretended to just be coming at the given time.

I warned her never to try it again as such thing may put all of us in trouble because our answers are likely going to be the same and they might say we all copied. She apologized and we became friends. In fact we ended up attending the same tertiary institution.

Thank you for reading till the end.
