SHODIMU OLUWASEUN - Class Series

Better known as Show, the major distinguishing feature of Shodimu is not just his height, but rather his Bald head. A baldness not induced by nature, but by cheer choice and the quest to emerge as a more handsome young man.
Show, is by far taller than the average man, of considerable handsomeness and possesses an ingenuity only Ibos are generally accused of.
His cunningness in the field of business is highly remarkable, even as his love for money would vindicate the whole Ibo race of the numerous accusations about how they love money.

Through the course of my short life, i have been privileged to meet a sizeable amount of people who place a high value on money and material things, only a few would rank above Show if i were to compile such a list.
His marketing skills are second to non, his ability to peddle over -bloated ideas and opportunities to people is remarkable, even as his proposed profit margins for any business venture would make even coca-cola reel in envy. Not everyone of us was cut out to be capitalists, little wonder why those who pursue such an economic ideal do so without any iota of doubt or pity for the exploited.
A very social and out-going person, Show is definitely someone who loves to mix and interact with people, especially the ladies.
His sense of humour is also very remarkable, although it always comes at the expense of someone else.
This young man is also a ladies favourite, and it is not difficult to find ladies swarming around him, who wouldn't? Especially after listening to all his beautiful tales about wealth and possession of power and influence specifically amongst lecturers.
Did i mention that he was also a very good story-teller? His study of history was not a waste as he could effortlessly manufacture fictitious stories about how many people failed exams and fictitious solutions regarding how such failures could be remedied.
Without doubt, show was a very charismatic and pragmatic leader. His one year tenure as course representative brought a lot of rejuvenation into the class. Our social life received a marked boost, there was an integration of all the levels, and the first ever unified form of tutorial among historians across all levels was initiated.
He enjoyed being in positions of power and better still, he knew how to maximise any of such positions whenever he eventually occupies them. Show business is his business and the mere fact that he does a good job of acting in everyday life is a testament to the fact that he would make a very good actor if ever casted in a movie, i would however advice the producers of such a movie never to allot him a role that involves being a gate keeper, driver or any such lowly occupation, Show's pride would never allow him to take up such roles.
Conclusively, I have always known Show from a distance, until our final year when it became imperative that we should shift from being merely acquainted, and to become somewhat like friends. One thing he is very good at doing is putting people at their rightful place, he respects only those who deserve it and those who can buy it,while he demands respect from every other person in between. The saying 'he that pays the piper dictates the tune' couldn't have been anymore truer to anyone than to our Subject of discourse.
