Femi Suleiman Lawal: 1992
Many people called him "Suleiman", but his childhood friends knew him as
Femi. I hope the change of name was not a result of economic
pressure from the Islamic minded Nigerian Government of the time (ha ha).
Anyway, Femi was dedicated to his school work and was known for having
very high grades. He was one of the three junior that made the
handball team and was later a co-captain. Despite the fact that he
was not very fast, he had very powerful hands, and made very good
decisions with the ball. He was also the Deputy Head Boy.
Anayo Uche:
1991
Legend has it that he came from a blood line of geniuses. I can
testify that the guy trained himself mathematically to multiply two
4-digit numbers in his head faster than a students could get the answer
while using a calculator. He did it in front of a teacher in my
presence twice. The teacher responded by saying "you are a genius".
He was also a dreaded attacker for A Quarters soccer team and did
everything possible to bully the defense physically. He represented the
school in numerous competitions and make new records at the events.
Adevo Adebo:
1992
The wise ones have always advised us not to put all our eggs in one
basket. What she lacked in the height basket, she made up for it in
brains and eloquence. She expressed herself freely and
intelligently, and was also tops in her academics. She was also the
Head Girl and a member of the Debate Club.
Peter & Paul
Izevbizua: 1993
It was said that what the lord has put together let no man separate.
Now, they are not homosexuals, they are twins (please clarify). They
were not only identical in appearance, they were also identical in soccer
style. Defenders had it difficult marking them. The days they
would wear the same color or took off their shirts, the defenders did not
know who was marking who. They had great skill with the ball and
were regular goal scorers.
Omogiate Ighiehon: 1992
While he was still in JSS 1, the seniors predicted that he was going to be
our Head Boy. He was tall, intelligent, and very handsome; even some
senior girls wanted to be his "sugar mummy". He was very good
on the tracks in his younger days, but gave it up for academics. He was
always top five in his set until he got to senior secondary. He did
admit once that studying was not all to life, so he did not study as much
anymore. He was disciplined, respectable, and was quiet. He
was the Head Boy as predicted. |

Aibiokula Uzebu: 1992
Through out, he was always one of the three tallest people in the school.
He moved with the so called "top dogs" of the school. Unlike the
rest, he did not depend on his father's name and accomplishment. He
worked very hard for his grades, and built relationships across
social-economic levels to make his academics a success. He was
admired by many and never made a sound when he was punished, unlike some
fake noise makers. Not only would seniors boys come to greet him,
even teachers sometimes would let us off the hook when he was involved.
It was not favoritism, he was just a likable kind of guy.
Richard ???: 1989
He was the handball captain and one of the best players the schools ever
produced in the game. He did not only possess powerful shots from
his arms, he also had great speed while bouncing the ball and leaped very
high when taking a jump shot. He led to school to many state and
school tournaments. He was a very friendly and cheerful guy, and was
very nice to the younger players. He was a wonderful captain and
always encouraged everyone to get involved without favoritism.
Emeka Ugbaka: 1988
He was popularly referred to as the "man with the golden stick" by those
who loved and admired him. He never accepted the fact that he could
not compete with others physically and have fun, despite the fact that he
used a stick. He could run, but not very fast. It was obvious
to all that he could not be a soccer player, but what captured everyone's
imagination was that he was an excellent goalkeeper. The guy miraculously
could dive from the middle of the school goal to the very end of goal.
I even saw his peers request that he be the goalie in various games.
He taught us that there is no limitation when the heart enjoys what it
does.
