Sule Pangolo attended a high brow private International School in Lagos but was a complete Aje Paki at heart.
One day in school the teacher said, "Today I will give you all sentences and I want you to change each noun of feminine gender to one of masculine gender and vice versa in each sentence.
"The Oba was succeeded by a young prince" said the teacher pointing at Olu who stood and answered "Kabiesi was succeeded by a young princess". "Not bad" said the teacher.
Next she said "The Duchess of York had tall sons". Tom an Oyinbo boy raised his hand and answered "The Duke of York had tall daughters". "Very good Tom" said the teacher.
Now it was Sule Pangolo's turn. "Lady Francis is the daughter of Lord Britany" the teacher said.
Sule Pangolo thought for a whole three minutes then said "Man Francis is the son of God Almighty".
"Useless answer. Sule I will give you another chance. Listen well" said the teacher. "Yes ma" said Sule Pangolo.
"Daddy's mother is my grandmother" said the teacher. Sule burst out laughing.
"He he he dis tisha sef. How can you say dat?"
"Say what ?" asked the puzzled teacher.
"How can you say Dad's mum is my grandmum. You will enta my mama trouble o. Only my moda's mum is my grandmum"
The teacher who by now was very angry screamed "And what in heaven's name do you call your Dad's mother!".
Sule Pangolo calmly said "My moda said dat she's a witch".
