CHAPTER 7

  The Boardroom

  As we finished our meal and made our way back to the car, papa and Uncle Jimi talked about recent political events in the country. Papa even mentioned the resignation of Sanmi Onigangan in passing; I guess he probably was ignorant that I knew who he was talking about. The discussion went on till we got to the University gate before they changed the topic to academics and they talked about all things academic including genetics and human genome. It was as if there was an unwritten law that stated that academic discussions alone should be allowed on campus. That’s Papa, he was so direct even when discussing with friends. There’s a place to say something and another place to say another thing and he didn’t mix it up.
