THE POTENTIAL NATIVE DOCTOR

An Ijebu Boy traveled to Lagos after his WAEC result was
out so that his Uncle will help him get admission into the University of Lagos
to study medicine and become a medical doctor.

*The following conversation came up:*

*Boy: Uncle, I learnt it’s difficult to gain admission into
the university these days except you are well connected*

*Uncle: That’s true.*

*Boy: Since you are connected, I came to ask you if you can
help me get admission into the university after my JAMB*

*Uncle: That’s true..am connected and I will help u*

*Boy: Thank you Uncle*

*Uncle: You’re welcome…so how is your result, is it WAEC
or NECO and how many credits did you get?*

*Boy: Uncle, it’s WAEC, I had only two credits in agric and
Yoruba language but I failed the rest*    
                        

*Uncle: Well, that’s not bad, you can still be a doctor, not
a medical doctor really but native doctor (babalawo) ?. You will use
your credit in agric in collecting herbs from the forest, and Yoruba language
for incantations.*
