types of people in school
For hypes who haven't guessed it yet, I attend I Nigerian school and I'm going to be giving you a list a different types of people at school.
Ps: I'm so sad my laptop just crashed so I'll be blogging with my phone for the time being forgive any typos , I'm not big on English
I don't like putting people in stereotypes because I know everyone is distinct in their own little way even if they seem like they fit into some type of clique
If you've attended a Nigerian school, chances are you've probably met one if not all the people I'm about to mention .
The drama kid who seems like he/she is straight out of an episode of glee, and you're like this can't be real. Let's look at some instances, if this persons pen/pencil/ruler gets meeting it's world war II they will involve the class's teacher, the class rep, the school councillor, , the principal and even the proprietor. This person is a master manipulator and first class crier, I'm talking mercy Johnson crying skills over little things
The over achiever who does EVERYTHING right and makes you feel and about yourself. Let's say their was a test and this person scores a 90/100 and they're like darn it! They cheated me! I deserve 100! That woman hates me! And you're just there with your 20/100 happy you made an even number this time.
The bratty girl(s) who think they live a real life version of mean girls / scream queens. This girl(s) think they are IT. They're uniforms are the shortest and the tightest, they're shoes and bag change faster than the prices of tomatoes, then usually don't date anyone within they're class. Or age bracket because they think they're too good for them
The self proclaimed need who is actually cool, different and interesting. But they don't make an effort to talk to anyone, but when you get to know them they're pretty cool
The nerd with low grades. OK this is actually my worst pet peeve, he/she likes to think of themselves as Einstein, they know-it-alll they always argue with teachers, never take no for an answer, won't ask for help when they're clueless, the worst thing you can do is ask this person to tutor u, you will end up more confused than ever because they will from their own theorems and equations, and they cast out this look of disgust probably 97% of the time sad thing Is they're grades are ALWAYS Average or below average.
The person who is friends with EVERYONE I mean EVERYONE. Everyone loves this person. You can't not!
The party animal girl who you like being friends with, but you can’t be around her too much because she’s seriously intense. But she has good stories. This person party's all weekend and is very familiar with the boys *wink*
The girl who always has a boyfriend. ALWAYS. And a new crush every other week, similar to the drama queen because she breaks up with them evry other week and goes on a meltdown on Facebook, posting "cryptic" stats and love quotes.
The couple who breaks up every other week, hooks up with other people, has a ton of public drama and then inevitably gets back together.
The uncontrollably exuberant troublemaker who makes everyone laugh although he/she is pretty annoying.
The opinion leader. This person is probably bigger than everyone else in class, sometimes they are small(rarely) this person has a group of people following them like flies following suit and hang on to their every word like gospel.
The gossip girl who knows everything about everyone, can’t keep a secret and is super fake. Itk
The person who think thinks he/she is too cool for school and looks bored all the time, they're always the first out of class
The overly-religious person/people, they're always singing or discussing about fellowship or prayer
The over zealous person that makes it their life mission to remind EVERY teacher our assignment is due and they're always the first to submit
The latecomers who always make it to class during 2nd period or break and they always have a different tale each day about how one crate of eggs fell down from a bike and they had to wait for the man to pack it and wash the road
The intelligent shy girl /boy, they don't talk much but their grades speak for them (just like me)
The class theif once anything is missing we all know who we give the side eye probably because he stole someone's ribena in js1 and people NEVER forget
The two class enemies who are always roasting each other to the amusement of other
They're so many more but amma stop right here, so let me know if you've met any of these people or which category you. Fall into

experience at a bank
I stepped into zenith bank on a very sunny Wednesday afternoon in the company of my cousin, I had just arrived from lagos to Abuja and we went straight to the bank, apparently my cousin had to withdraw a huge sum. I was wearing a transparent chiffon and lace black dress paired with a pair of brown sandals and a brown fidora hat. I had put in extra effort that day to look nice, I noticed a few heads turn when I stepped in perhaps due to the fact my cousin and I were laughing loudly about how spectre 007 was a huge flop and she made a joke about Nigerian movies, I can't remember what was so funny but we laughed loudly
The bank was abit crowed mostly with men sitting at various angles like snakes waiting to pounce and their preys one particular one gave me this look I couldn't quite place he literally raped me with his eyes peering through his dorky glasses which I am 101% sure were not prescription glasses
His weird looks were making me uncomfortable so I had to stare we engaged in a 15sec stare down with me backing down perhaps too quickly, you know when you catch someone staring and they're supposed (I guess by reflex) to look away awkwardly, not this man he kept staring like I was an alien
My cousin went to the bathroom and I had to stand in queue for her, my phone battery died and I complained loudly in frustration, this guy standing behind me chuckled and that caught my attention, I quickly turned and asked what's funny? He said I made a funny face when I look upset
Then we started talking as it seemed the line wasn't moving anytime soon, my cousin emerged and as we were about to leave he slipped his card into my hand, as we got to the parking lot this creepy pedophile pops out of nowhere.
No jokes, he was like a spirit appeared out of thin air and held my arm, I felt a rough warm hand grab me and I snapped and brushed him hand off roughly he had this irritating smirk on his face and I responded with a look of disgust ad he smiled revealing surprisingly a nice dentition
I was still taking it all in when my cousin blurted out "what do you want"? Almost in a hiss like tone. A smile crept up the corners of my lips as those words made him step back in a look laced with a little shock and again, that smirk
He said in a deep husky voice with that familiar igbo accent, "baby can I talk to you?" I laughed hysterically, and he joined in the. Laughter as well, he spent a minimum of 20minutes convincing me that he would give me the world and change my life because, Apparently I looked like someone who was lacking? He wouldnt take no for an answer and even brought out a wad of cash and gave it to me saying he would pay to have my number, I could sense my cousin already getting restless so I gave him a fake no as expected he called the number and it wasn't available I blamed it on my dead phone battery. As I was about to enter the car to leave imagine this thing asking me to hug him before I go
I couldn't help but laugh again before I hurriedly entered the car and locked the door.
This is just one experience, I have had countless number of similar experiences and I'm sure most of you have, feel free to share your experiences in the comments below

welcome to my blog
Memoirs of a naija teen. Yup. I know, how cliché
This is my first blog post I thought hard about what my first blog post should be, I even went to some blogs I frequent to see what they're first blog posts were about (futile effort) then I thought, the first blog post shouldn't be that big of a deal. It should come from within I guess. I just got off the phone with my dad and I'm a bit depressed. I have a really important examination in two days and I didn't even know about it my dad is furious but oh well.
Sometimes I just feel like I'm drifting through life like paper swept by the wind aimlessly wandering about.
I don't know what to do or think anymore. This exam is really important and I'm just going to mess it up like I always do! Sigh
Why am I like this? A question I've asked myself countless times.
The answer still seems oblivious
No not oblivious
I know why I'm like this
I'm just plain lazy
Enough of my ranting. My first blog post wasn't supposed to be like this. Oh well, it is what it is.
