“I had uncles that flogged me. I had one that travelled to flog me. He travelled for two hours from Ibadan to Oshogbo to flog me.
“At the time, I passed biology, chemistry but I failed physics. And I had stronger subjects in the art department so it was recommended that I did art. So my mum was upset I wasn’t taking school seriously.
“She called one of my uncles, he said don’t worry I’ll be in Oshogbo tomorrow. I was the one that opened the gate for him, assisted him to carry his luggage from his car.
“And he sat down, drank water and said bring you report card. He went through all the courses and said, ‘You failed physics, you didn’t do well in mathematics. Lie down there.’ And I knew what my fate was then.”
