*LEKKI HEADMASTER CHAPTER 7 SUMMARY* In this chapter, Bepo reflects on his experience at Beesway Group of Schools, where his attention to detail and penchant for correcting errors caused friction. He had pointed out the grammatical inaccuracy in the school’s name, which should have been “Beesway Group of Schools” instead of “Group of School.” However, his corrections were met with disdain by the director, Mr. Egi Meko, who dismissed Bepo’s concerns as trivial. The director rationalized his refusal to make changes by attributing the school’s name to divine inspiration and emphasizing its registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission. Despite Bepo’s linguistic expertise, the director mocked his suggestions and misused terms like “Englisher,” further highlighting his own linguistic ignorance. Bepo ultimately realized that any further attempts to correct the error would only invite hostility. Later in the chapter, Bepo witnesses a shocking and mysterious event late at night. From his room, he notices suspicious activity involving several men, including the director, carrying out what appeared to be a ritualistic act—burying a live cow. Despite his fear, Bepo confronts the men, only to be met with hostility. The situation escalates as one of the men injures him, but the director intervenes and orders them to stop. The incident leaves Bepo deeply unsettled, raising questions about the director’s true intentions. The following day, Bepo contemplates reporting the event to the authorities but hesitates due to the potential financial and emotional toll of pursuing justice. His dilemma reflects the complex interplay of morality, power, and survival. Towards the end of the chapter, Bepo recalls his early days in the education sector, including his attempt to establish a school called Fruitful Future with a colleague. Despite their noble intentions and innovative methods, the school failed due to infrastructural challenges and lack of support from the local government. This memory underscores the struggles educators face in a system plagued by corruption and neglect. LEKKI HEADMASTER SUMMARY The chapter concludes with a shocking twist: a news report implicates a familiar figure, Mr. Ogo, in a ritual murder. This revelation ties back to the mysterious burial at Beesway and deepens Bepo’s disillusionment with the dark realities of the world around him.
