If you don’t find John playing betting games (bet9ja) then he would be arguing about sports, if John is not arguing about sport he would be in the field playing football, if John is not playing football he would be looking for girls to chat with on Facebook or WhatsApp.
Do you know the only time you would find John reading is when his dad is at home? So bad his dad was not always at home as he was a busy farmer.
To cut the story short, John did not only had 128 in Jamb but his dad relocated him to join him look after his Cassava farmland In the village.
