That was the ginger i needed and that also was the genesis of my nickname Miraxzeeability.
That day we tarried there drinking and dining before going to the east wing were a bet9ja shop was.
Gambling was something i do for fun not for the money, though i had never engaged in sports betting but i can remember betting as far back as my Jss1.
“50-50 naira say i sabi spell pass you”, Hassan the brain box who introduced me to betting said during one of the free periods in the first month of my jss class.
The dude was so confident that i was scared of taking him on even though i knew i could spell any word my mate could spell. Reading was my hobby then not know that i have another hobby.
Y’all know.
“ok na make we go”, i responded the guy.
What followed was a shout of pity from my classmates.
Hassan had grown the reputation of the intelligent Kid and had earned lots of wazobia notes through spelling betting so the class rightly pitied me in advance.
If it was 50 box i was willing to play to make my name.
Deji then was the questioner, the Frank Edoho of the spelling bee betting.
From his bulky Longman dictionary he asked me to spell a word that sounded like ‘collusion’.
“C-0-L-L-U-S-I-O-N” , i spelt fastly.
