His relationship with the mysterious new girl in class, Efua. His family troubles and determination to succeed against all odds.The novel highlighted some adolescence challenges and teaches perseverance in the midst of adversities.With the annual JAMB UTME in mind, we at Campus Portal Nigeria decided to provide only a brief chapter by chapter summary of The Last Days at Forcados High School. We highlighted only the important points from the chapters that will assist candidates to easily answer the exam questions. Read below.

Chapter by Chapter Summary of The Last Days at Forcados High SchoolChapter 1.Jimi had just returned from a holiday in Ibadan. His father sent him there on discovery that he had kept in touch with his rogue brother, Wole, against the father’s instructions.Jimi woke up at home to a surprise. His brother, Wole, who had been banned from the house by their father, has returned. Jimi and his mother, Kemi, were happy to have Wole back but their highly temperamental and intolerable father, Kola, was not keen to have him back.Chapter 2.First day of new school year at Forcados High School, Lagos. Jimi re-unites with friends. Though worried by troubles at home, he resolvesit’s going to be his best year yet.The school’s head boy, Seyi Lawal, invited Jimi who is the health prefect to prefects’ meeting with the principal, Mr Mallum,where they met a new girl, Efua, who came with her mother to the principal’s office.Chapter 3.Efua Coker, a very attractive young girl, was brought to Lagos by her flamboyant and carefreemother, Funmi, to stay with her aunt, Moni, from where she could attend Forcados high school and complete her final year in secondary school.Aunty Moni introduced Efua to the devout Nene who in turn introduced her to Ansa and Jimi but Efua was repulsive to the boys. She also had a tough first day in school, dealing with the not-so-welcoming teachers and nostalgia of her former school, St Catherine’s, Abuja.Efua’s mum influenced her admission into SS3 at Forcados High where students are not usuallyadmitted in senior class. The teachers frowned at this because they felt new students would lower the school’s usually excellent result.Chapter 4.Kola Solade had travelled after a bout of argument with his wife over Wole when Jimi courageously jumped to his mother’s defence which further infuriated his father, Kola.Jimi, looking for an opportunity to spend time with his brother, Wole, followed him to a strange location where alcohol, Indian hemp and prostitutes were a common sight. Jimi got upsetwhen he ran home, after policemen stormed the joint, and discovered that Wole hid illegal drugs in his Jeans pocket.Chapter 5.Efua rebuffed Jimi’s advances and a rather silly approach from Jolly, a pompous arts student, who in turn threatened to deal with her. Everybody in school disliked Efua for her unfriendliness. They went ahead to nickname her “The Witch”. Nene tried to talk to Efua about the seeming unfriendliness to everybody but shesnapped at her.Chapter 6.Efua visits Nene to apologies for snapping on her earlier in the day at school. She meets Nene helping her mother out with house chores as usual. Nene once again encouraged Efua to be friends with Jimi. She would later have a re-thinkabout her suggestion to Efua considering that Jimi’s attention to her had reduced since Efua arrived.Chapter 7.A young Youth Corper, Agbenenovi (Miss Novi) was introduced to the school by the Vice principal.The students had their Mid Term dinner. Jimi, Ansa, and Nene played active roles in the event’splanning.
