I was out of the blue when Mr Bola, Victory's headmaster and Victory drove into my compound with their faces filled with great smiles and disclosed that my daughter had won a quiz competition.
"Good evening Ma'am, your daughter just won a quiz competition," Mr Bola said and smile brightly
" she also won a scholarship to study for free in our school throughout her primary and secondary school education and a token of one hundred thousand naira" He added positively.
I was cloud nine listening to what the headmaster was saying.
"The scholarship and the token we gave her served as an award for her brilliance" Mr Bola uttered and chuckled profusely.
My heart staggered instantly as tears of joy started flowing down my visage like a river.
"Mummy stop crying" my daughter consoled me with a face looking as though she was dismal.
"Ma'am you should be happy," the headmaster said.
I cleaned up the tears on my face with the back of my hands and then hugged victory tightly because she indeed made me proud.
Mr Bola was clapping with his countenance chock-full of smiles.
I thanked him endlessly for giving my daughter such an opportunity to participate in a quiz competition.
He was elated and told me not to worry before he drove out.
"Mummy you must cook my favourite today o! " Victory muttered immediately the headmaster left.
"You're now the madam of the house, your wishes I would always do," I said as we burst into laughter.
I had enough foodstuffs and I went to our thatched kitchen and started cooking while she went inside the house.
I pleaded with her to rest because she was stressed out throughout that day.
She obeyed me and lay down waiting for the food to finish cooking.
When the food was done cooking, I served her and she started eating as though she hadn't eaten for a long time.
I watched her closely as she was holding the lump of fufu. She liked okro soup and it was her favourite.
After she had finished eating, she told me that she answered all the questions that were thrown at her.
"My fellow contestants were stunned with their mouths all opened when I was answering all the questions correctly" My daughter uttered.
"Some teachers were infuriated and they wanted to set in partiality but the headmaster noticed and cut them off" she added.
"Who is really this girl?" I asked myself " when did she learn all these words?" I asked myself again.
"I am so proud of you, continue to be a good and God-fearing girl okay? I love you" I spoke when I kissed her on her forehead.
"I promise to always obey you mum, you're the best," she said enthusiastically.
My heart was filled with joy.
" Indeed life is just a bowl of cherries," I said in my mind smirking.
The next day, I heard that Ben was cheesed off when he heard that my daughter won a competition.
He flógged his son which caused a fight between him and his wife.
