The Last Hanover
by Ihekweme Mbazike Anthony (M.I. Tony)
When the 1945 Allied invasion took its toll on Hanover Germany, no one had imagined a backlash traced to Africa. No one had imagined St Judkins College a sequestered Secondary School overlooking a tea plantation where many Cameroonians under the German and British colonialists, had cut their teeth on forced labour. No one had imagined a Hanover in Saint Judkins College. No one imagined it a Teutonic colonial relic. No one imagined it a sacred cow; a reprehensible tradition of campus brutality.
The Hanover, a time-honoured, tinderbox jinx, would break suddenly on the crossroad of a little boys destiny. Chinagoroms death is a living stone to kill two evil birds. In the light of the moments tragedy, the school, for the very first time, was awakened to the shocker of an age-old chink in the ark of the nations prestigious first Secondary School.
