Perfection is a flaw compared to the integrity and commendable lifestyle Raymond had. Raymond is excellent perfection in every sense of the word. In the compound where we lived Raymond was the envy and wish of every parent. If it was possible to carry 0 instead of 1st as position Raymond would have had it cause he was extremely brilliant. My parents wouldn't fail to sell me off, add money and buy Raymond if possible.

Thief O! was the cry that woke up the neighborhood at about 5a.m. People have been complaining of missing yams but nobody knew who the thief was. The day was still dark so we couldn't see the face of the thief. Before we knew it lights started shinning left and right from lamps and torches. Ewo! Mogbe! came the words from neighbors. Raymond so na you be the thief and a woman fainted. So na you dey thief our yam. You wey we dey see as angel for we compound. So you be thief. "I wanted to borrow the yam" he said i was gonna come show you. Ask who the people wonder!
