*Chapter 2 Summary: The Enticement*

After days of silence and emotional distress, Mr. Bepo finally reveals his dilemma—he is relocating to the United Kingdom to join his family. The decision is far from easy for him. Bepo loves Stardom Schools and his students deeply and feels strongly about contributing to Nigeria’s educational development. However, his wife, Seri, who has already moved to the UK with their two children, Nike and Kike, pressures him to leave Nigeria. The family’s absence has strained their marriage, leaving Bepo with no choice but to resign.

Bepo recalls his two decades of service at Stardom Schools, where he gained the nickname “The Lekki Headmaster” due to his charisma and problem-solving skills. His ability to resolve conflicts, including petty staff disputes, earned him admiration. Despite his commitment to the school, his colleagues find his reluctance to relocate puzzling. They jokingly debate the financial benefits of moving to the UK, emphasizing the attractive salary of £3,600 per month compared to his Nigerian salary of ₦400,000.

Seri, a nurse, is rumored to be earning over £10,000 monthly, further highlighting the economic advantages of their move. While his colleagues ridicule his hesitation, Bepo reflects on his entrepreneurial aspirations. He dreams of starting a business in Nigeria after retiring at 55. His ideas range from farming to transportation, but he worries about the challenges of running a business in the country, particularly after past failures with a neighborhood school he co-founded.

Despite these concerns, Bepo feels the weight of his family’s expectations and the practicality of earning a better income in the UK. As a trained teacher with vast experience, he is confident in his ability to adapt to the new environment. He draws inspiration from stories of other Nigerian teachers thriving abroad, even though he knows the transition will come with its challenges.

This chapter delves into Bepo’s internal conflict, exploring themes of family loyalty, professional dedication, and the allure of greener pastures abroad. It also sheds light on societal issues such as brain drain and the struggles of balancing personal aspirations with communal responsibilities

*The Lekki Headmaster: Chapter 4 - A Case of Visa Denied*

*The content of the novel on this website is provided as a summary to assist with revision. Candidates should ensure they read and fully understand the entire novel before the exams.*



Bepo is in his room at Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja, Lagos, Mr Bepo receives a call from Mrs Ignatius, the parent of a student, just as he is about to say his night prayers. He was not okay with the overly cordial relationship that Mrs Ignatius was extending towards him. He always related to his students and staff with humour and compassion but he did not appreciate being taken for granted just like Mrs. Ignatius was doing.

Mrs Ignatius's husband, Mr Ibe Ignatius, who works as a manager in an oil firm, also decided to “japa” with his family. He argued that he would not want his children to grow up in Nigeria where the children of those who went abroad come to be their children’s leaders and superiors. Mrs Ignatius was in love with this idea and soon started learning tailoring and hairdressing so that she too could earn some money abroad. Mrs Ignatius had quit her job as a clerical officer while her husband had closed up his “clearing and forwarding: side business as they prepared to relocate when something terrible happened.

While processing their visa, a DNA test revealed that Mr Ibe is not the father of one of their three children – Favour, an SSS2 girl at Stardom. This is the subject of Mrs Ignatius’ late-night call. Her husband had told them (Mrs Ignatius and Favour) to leave the house. He was not sure how to respond to this situation. He was aware of the fact that some of these rich parents can be selfish and nasty. He is reminded of an incident that led to the sacking of Mr Ayesoro, who was the Government teacher.


One of his students, Bibi, had a dream about the Government teacher. Bibi told her mother, Mrs Ladele, that the government teacher appeared to her in her dream with his tribal mark. His tribal marks are so deep and prominent that the student nicknamed him Mr Owala, a derogatory Yoruba name for a person with wild facial marks. Every time, Bibi saw Mr Ayesoro, she became scared. The dreams continue until Mrs Ladele goes to the school to file a complaint. Worried that they would lose Bibi and her siblings to another school, the management transferred Mr Ayesoro to Stardom Hub, the property wing of Stardom Group of Companies.
