Akpos was in class 3 in 1983 . His teacher
always yelled at him, calling him "a waste of
conception,
time and space. And a sure failure in life ".
One day,
poor Akpos's grand mother came to school to
check out how her grandson was doing. The
teacher told
her quite frankly that she had never seen
such a
dumb boy
all her life; and advised her to withdraw and
enrol
him under an artisan , because formal
schooling for
Shehu would be a total waste of time and
money
. The
grandmother, shocked at the teacher's
remarks,
withdrew her grandson from the school and
relocated to Maiduguri .
25 years later the teacher was diagnosed with
a
brain
tumour. All the doctors she met advised her
to do
surgery. And only a certain doctor in the
whole of
Nigeria (practicing in Maiduguri) could
perform this
procedure. Left
with no alternative, the poor teacher agreed
to
have the
surgery performed . Fortunately, It was
successful.
When she awoke hours after the surgery, she
saw a
handsome young doctor smiling down at her.
She
wanted to thank him but could not speak .
She
looked
sideways and suddenly began to express
shock &
anguish , her face started to turn pale ; she
frantically made
attempts to raise her hand and tell him
something
but
couldn't. She struggled, she fought hard ...
Till she
gave
up the Ghost and died . The young doctor
was shocked
. He tried to find out what went wrong .
Eventually
he found out that it was our dear Akpos (now
working
as a cleaner in the hospital) who had
disconnected
the lady's ventilator to connect his phone
charger .
Wait... You thoughtAkpos became the
doctor ?
If I hear
