The innocent Classmate.
Friends, it's another opportunity to write on this beautiful platform (read.cash), and i am so much glad for it. Trust everyone is fine and doing so great? At my side here we just finished watching the Uefa Champions league match between REAL MADRID and CHELSEA FC, the game was truly big fight between the two teams, the fought with their last breath, but REAL MADRID emerged the winner with a count of (5:4 aggregate).
****I met FEMI again after a long time.****
Yesterday, i was on my way going somewhere, and came across my old classmate, we graduated from the same elementary school together years back. As I saw him from a distance, I could still recognize him, so i shouted his name FEMI!!!!! At first he didn't ear me, then i shouted again, OLUWAFEMI JAMES! He turned and saw me, we ran to each other, and hug, wow! It's been a long time, happy to see again after many years. As we hugged I observed his facial look as changed, as in, he didn't have a complete eyes anymore, one eye had become blind, while one eye still function. This got me to ask question, what happened to your eye FEMI? And he replied "it's a long story".
He told me his experience.
We sat somewhere and he began to tell me what had happened to him, he began this way;........ After i graduated from high school (secondary school), i had the desire to look for Money to take care of myself, to help my parents financially in my little way, and also to save some money for the furtherance of my education into the university.
One day I saw an advert post of a Hotel that needed a worker, so i applied, and luckily i was employed. The time to start the work came, i resumed, and all things were going fine. I began to collect salary as a hotel worker.
Things were going fine until one day, while i was in duty, a businessman who used to be a our customer, came again to lodge for some days, he was welcomed and given the key of his room, so he went in. I was the one in charge of the cleaning of his room that time, i could remember, his room number was 34. When it was the second day, i went in to clean his room, after a certain period of time, he came and complained he could not see his **wallet** **that** **contained** **dollars**. We were called but non of us confess to the missed wallet, so he became vehement and wild, though the Manager was trying to calm him down, but instead he went and brought Police, and they arrested two of us in duty that day.
At the police station.
When we arrived the police station, the businessman had before that time told the police to torture us very well so that we would confess were the wallet was, so, they began torturing us, i kept telling them i had taken no wallet, but they didn't just hear, one of the police then furiously clapped my face, it was as if my eyes were electrocuted, everywhere became dark at first, then blood began to come out from one of my eyes, "**oooohh you have given me injury in my eyes**" i kept saying but non of them care to listen. It was just as if they had perfect hatred for us. Our parents came but we weren't granted bail immediately, when they saw the blood in my eye was nonstop, so they ordered i was taken to the hospital for treatment.
To cut the story short, after some days, we then heard the businessman's wallet was not stollen in our hotel, in fact, he didn't even lose it. we were told he left and forgot it in his house . ***Then we got to know he was suffering from Dementia (lost of memory).***
I pitied FEMI, he was innocent, but turned a victim of such occurrence that made him lose one of his eyes. This is a lifetime Injury.

My Grandma and her brilliant Student. (2)
I want to use this opportunity to appreciate everyone who had read, upvoted and commented on my article. Wholeheartedly i'm saying thank you from here.
This is the continuation of what i posted yesterday about my grandma and her brilliant Student "Clara".
CONTINUATION
In the previous article, i had told you Grandma said, **Clara was a very brainy student with distinct intellectual capacity**, i told you she had won prizes for her school at both State and National level, but very painful that while she was preparing for her promotion examination (Junior WAEC) into senior secondary school, she lost her parents same day to a catastrophic Accident.
**How she lost her parents.**
*The Principal speaking now.........*
On that fateful day, we had just finished morning assembly, every student had marched into their various classes, the teachers were already going to teach the first subjects for the day, i was still discussing with two vice principals about some strategies we would utilise for the betterment of our students as well as the school. There we were, and a Call came in, i looked at my phone, it was a strange number. Hmmmm! Who could be calling me? So, i picked, what i was hearing were noises, then a tiny voice of woman saying "Ma!!!! This is the mother of Rashidat in JSS1, have you had? Ahhhh!!😢😢, Two people that brought their daughter to your school this morning, as they were driving back, a long Lorry failed brake and hit them, they've been rushed to the nearest hospital, i pray they survive it oh, because it's much, i just want to inform you", and she ended the call.
To cut the long story short, Clara was informed, and she cried rivers out of her eyes! I pitied her.
**Her extended family had Meeting.**
The extended family of Clara had meeting on how she would be taken care of. Her uncle (immediate younger brother to her late Dad) promised and said "**I will take of care of her very well, she will never suffer any lack under my roof, i'm ready to train her to any length of her academic career, just let me manage the properties her parents had left**". These were the statements made by the uncle at the family meeting. So, everyone agreed she would be going to there, to start living with them. After a few months, her late Parents' properties were so out.
**Clara in her uncle's house.**
She has gotten there, they were treating her fine like their own child, they bought same clothes for her and their daughter. She was given time to do what she had interest in, and she was happy. Everywhere was looking good, and everything was going on fine, until the result of their promotion exams came out. The result showed Clara made distinctions in all her papers, while their own daughter only made some credits. She was far behind Clara in terms of academic performance. After this, jealousy set in, she observed a sharp change in their attitudes towards her, they began to hate her. Well, the little girl wasn't concerned, until they began to frustrate her. Early in the morning, they would pack plenty clothes outside and say "Clara you must finish washing this clothes, before going to school, and you must not use washing machine, we want you to use your hand". She would wash and wash, and start crying 😭, **imaging a teenager turned to a washwoman.** She missed school most time, sometimes they would not give her breakfast and tell her to go to school like that. ***They told her not to tell anybody what was happening, that if she tell anybody that they would kill her.***
One day, she was in the school and her stomach was empty, she has not eaten that day, suddenly her eyes turned and she fainted. "....Clara has fainted ohhh, her classmates were crying and shouting simultaneously....! Teachers began to wake her up, it took time before they could successfully wake her up. After this, she was fed, and the principal asked her what she had been passing through, she didn't want to say because she was afraid of her uncle not to kill her. She was pet and finally spoke out and explained everything.
This got the principal furious, and she reported the case to the government, good steps where taken by the government, in the sense that, Clara was taken from his uncle. The Principal (my Grandma) kept contributing much to her progress, development, and betterment.
**Clara triumphed at last.**
Clara finished her secondary school excellently, she was the best graduating student the school produced that year. She gained admission into University of Ibadan to study Mechanical Engineering, graduated with First Class, finished as best graduating student in her department. She got job with a "Multinational Petroleum company".
Now the Uncle and his wife are back begging and saying it was Satan's work. **She said he has forgiven them, they meant bad for her but God made it good!!**

My Grandma and her brilliant Student.
Hello read Stars, happy Sunday to you all. Yesterday night, i was kind of insomniac due to the heat from the environment. Some states in my country have begin experiencing much rains, but here in the state where i live, we are still experiencing summer. As i went to my bed, wanted to sleep, but could not just sleep due the displeasing hotness in my room. All windows were opened, all curtains were raised up, but my eyes refused to close. What worsened the case was that there wasn't electricity at all, simply no light, i would have put fan on. As this continued, and with my face facing the ceiling, i began to reminisce my past experiences and leisure time i had with people, many came into my head. The one i enjoyed most was the time i had with my grandma, the lovely moment with her was so nice, she is a story teller, and i use to enjoy my time with her.
There was an evening she told me about Mrs Clara. She told me how they started, and the numerous fine qualities and characters contained in her. The story will be the base of my today's article. Please take note.
****In my Grandma's house******.**
Without wasting time, and going straight to the point, early this year i visited my Grandma, and i decided to pass a night at her place, that evening as we had finished eating our dinner, we had some gists, I love discussing with her, i always want to gain from her wealth of experience. I'm the type that love asking questions when i see the need, so that evening, i looked at her and said Grandma, "How is Mrs Clara to you?", she smiled and said Son! if i will tell you how she is to me, i will like you to pay much attention so that you can learn from this, because it really worth learning from. I nod my head first, then spoke saying "ok Mama, no problem, i will.
**The story.**
She began the story and said, you see Clara who i took as one of my daughters? Hmmmm! Let me start from here, when i was a Principal (head of all the teachers) in the high school where Clara was a student, she was a very intelligent girl, her brilliancy was indeed noteworthy, she has always led her class since she came into our school, i mean number one of the class with outstanding academic performance. In her second year, she represented our school in **Mathematics competition for the junior category,** where she came out as the best in the state, and third position in the country. When they arrived from the competition, i rejoiced with them, in fact, celebrated her well, then called her personally, and encouraged her to put more effort, **i told her there was no limit to what she could achieve if she put more effort, and be well determined**, coupled with the fact that she's someone i could call genus. So, she appreciated, and increase the gear of her studies. It was now known widely among all the teachers that Clara's has really geared up not only in mathematics but in all subjects. To cut the story short, when she got to third year in school, that is, Junior secondary school three (JSS3), she respected our school again, she became the best in the state and in the Nation. Many gifts were brought to school, some Money were given to her by the ministry of education. In fact, she really made us proud.
When she was now preparing for her junior WAEC, (the exam she needed to pass to proceed to the senior school), it was very painful her both parents got involved in a fatal accident on the same day, with their car, they were both rushed to the hospital, the doctors tried their best, but unfortunately they could not survive the accident, they both died.😢

I'm happy starting Read.cash ( I'm a new member.)
9th of April, 2022.
Hello everyone, happy weekend to you all. I pray all of us experience many more beautiful days. I'm **NiceAYO**, that is my nickname, and i'm glad to tell you that i'm a nice guy who always want to be friend with a nice person. **This is my first time on read.cash.** I was introduced to this platform by one of my friends, he made me know that it's a beautiful platform where i can learn from people's articles, as well as earn BCH. Sincerely! I'm glad to be here.
Since i joined some hours back, i have read people's articles, so as to see how things are done here, and speaking candidly, i have really learnt from all the articles i have read, they are well structured, informative and educative. I will say more inks in your pens, more wisdom.
Without wasting time, I will like to say i came across @Allboy , i have really learnt from his article on "**Self Respect**", in it, i was made known that to gain self respect, i have to distance myself from people who don't value me at all, also, i have to stop looking for person who do not even care about my existence. Other thing which he had taught me was that i should always be busy on how to achieve my goals and visions.
@Princessbusayo , i will say your articles are so nice and i enjoy them, you see the recent one you wrote titled "what you do in the rainy season", and i will say one of the things i enjoy doing while it rains is to Sleep if i'm at home. It's not that i'm the type that loves sleeping a lot, but that of when it rains is always amusing.
Mr @Olasquare , your article on "customer and health update" is indeed a call to order for all businesses that lack integrity and do not value their customers well. I would say i learnt from it that integrity and trustworthiness are great keys into grand successfulness for business ventures that would want to remain relevant. So, thank you sir for the beautiful writeup.
**I want to announce to the public that i have found a family house. If you ask me where is it? I will gladly tell you it is read.cash . Everyone on this platform is my family member, and i'm so happy for this.** I will like to tell you things i like doing. Here they are:
I like reading and writing stuffs creatively.
I'm the kind of guy that loves reading and writing on experiences, as well as, knowledge I have gained from other people's works. Some of my friends once complained and asked why i love doing it, and i would just smile, they wouldn't know my reasons for smiling, but the kind of pleasure i get writing pleases my heart a lot. So, i see this platform as a big opportunity to improve more on my writing skills, you know no one knows it all.
I love listening to songs.
Song has it way of making me happy, no matter how unhappy i am, if i just check the music file on my device, and play song into my ears, it goes straight to my heart, and it's kinda so interesting. I have so many song arranged in my device, listening to them and the kind of beats they give gives me joy a lot. I could be washing clothes and be listening to music. I could be having a morning exercise and be listening to songs. When reading and writing too, i play songs along. I am the fan of many music artists.
I love playing games.
I am a fan of games, all kind of interesting game is mine, so long it is playable on laptops and mobile phones. Here are just few of the games i love PES, FIFA, God of war, PUBG Mobile, etc.
**I love people with honesty, veracity and truthfulness.**
I **niceAYO** wants to be a very nice friend to you.
Time will fail me to mention all the articles i have read here, i will say thank you to @Bilqees , @FashTioluwa @Lucifer01 , @Tomi-Ajax , @Ellawrites , @Tife , @FarmGirl , @Kleah97 , @BCH_LOVER @Daria , @Balikis , and everybody on this beautiful platform. Sincerely I'm glad to be here.
