he has foolishly squandered all his money.
He call his father at home.
"Dad," he says, "You won't believe what modern
education is developing! They actually
have a program here in Unilag that will
teach our dog,
monkey-boy how to talk!"
"That's amazing," his Dad says . "How do I get Monkey-boy into the
program?"
Akpors smiling said... "Just send him
downhere
with N10,000" Young Akpors says. "I'll
get him in the course dad."
So, his father sends the dog and N10,000.
About two weeks to end the semester,
themoney
again runs out.
Akpors calls home again. "So how's Monkey-boy(the dog name is monkey-
boy) doing son?" his father asks.
"Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm,"
he says,
"but you just won't believe this - they've
hadsuch good results they have started to teach
the animals
how to read!" "Read!?" says his father,
"No kidding! Howdo we
get monkey-boy in that program?"
Akpors smiling said "Just send N20,000, I'llget him
in
the class."
The money promptly arrives. But our hero
(Akpors) has a problem.
At the end of the year, his father will find out the
dog can neither talk, nor read.
So he shoots the dog. When he arrives
home at the
end of the year, his father is all excited.
"Where's monkey-boy? I just can't wait to see him read something and talk!"
"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim
news.
Yesterday morning, just before we left to
drive
home, monkey-boy was in theliving room,
kicked back in
the recliner, reading the Punch
Newspaper, like he usually does.
Then he turned to me and asked, "So, is
your daddy still messing' around with that little
redhead Ekaette
who lives in town?"
The father exclaimed, "I hope you shot
that son of a
Naughty Lady before he talks to your Mother!"
