Eagles


I had a Hilarious experience on Thursday evening.
A girl in my house, who allegedly graduated with a second class upper, had a test in one of the prestigious banks in Nigeria. she was excited and we were glad that she was called for the test. This is the conversation that ensued when I got home from work and she was back from the test.
Runser: Stuck, Welcome o(in an unmistakenable benin accent).
Stuck: Runs, how now? How did the test go?
Runser: It was hard o...I sha tried my best.
Stuck: Then you have nothing to worry about
.
At this point, my Warri housemate walks in.
Warri: Ah! Future banker! how the test na? i hope say you write am well well o.
Runser: I try o. The test hard no be small o.
Warri: Sho! no worry, you don pass am.
Runser: Amen o.
Warri: which kain question dem ask una sef.
Runser: E plenty well well, but the one wey worry me pass na the one wey dem ask if Eagle na bird or reptile. I just decide choose Bird o.


At this point, My eyes are wide open
I couldn't believe my ears...
A bird or a reptile? I said my good bye very quickly and ran to my room and laughed my head off. Warri knew this was what I was doing and came to say that it is a mistake that anyone can make. I would have agreed o...for the sake of peace, but then, we all did social studies...and the bird on the Nigerian COAT OF ARMS is what? AN EAGLE.
