What Is The Lekki Headmaster About?

Now follow me closely here.

At the centre of this story is Mr. Bepo Adewale a school principal who has spent 24 years building one of the finest schools in Lekki, Lagos. His students love him. His colleagues respect him. Nigeria needs more men like him.

Then his wife, Seri, and their children relocate to the United Kingdom. And Seri keeps asking the same question “Bepo, when are you coming?”

Suddenly, Bepo is torn. On one side  London, family and comfort. On the other side his school, his students and his purpose.

That is the beating heart of this novel. Do you japa, or do you stay?

You know that word. You have heard it. Maybe even thought about it yourself.

But Kabir Alabi Garba does not ask who is right or wrong. He asks you something much harder.

What do we owe to the people we leave behind?

Think about that. Because JAMB will test whether you truly understood this novel not just the plot, but the deeper message behind it. And that question right there is the soul of The Lekki Headmaster.

The story is funny in places, deeply thoughtful in others and sometimes it will move you in ways you did not expect. That is the mark of a truly great novel. What is home, really?

Chapter-by-Chapter Summary

Chapter One: The Assembly That Changed Everything

Now, this is where our story begins, and I want you to picture this scene very clearly in your mind.

It is a regular morning at Stardom Schools. Students are lined up for assembly just like any other day. Nothing seems unusual, until Mr. Bepo Adewale walks to the podium.

Now, who is Mr. Bepo Adewale? He is the headmaster of this school. A man who has held Stardom Schools together for over two decades. A man the students know, the staff respect, and the school depends on. This is not a weak man. This is not a man who breaks easily.

But right there, standing in front of everyone he breaks down in tears.

Just sit with that for a moment.

The students are confused. The staff members are rattled. Nobody knows what is happening. Nobody has ever seen this man cry in public. It takes the vice principal, Mrs. Grace Apeh, to quietly step in, take control of the situation and bring the assembly to a close.

Now I want you to understand something important as your teacher. Kabir Alabi Garba did not open this novel this way by accident. That scene is deliberately designed to grab your attention and ask you one burning question what could possibly bring a man like Bepo Adewale to tears?

That question, my student, is what will carry you through the rest of this novel. Something serious is weighing on this man, and we are about to find out exactly what it is.

Chapter Two: The Secret Behind the Tears

Now follow me closely, because this is the chapter where everything begins to make sense.

After five days of silence, Mr. Bepo Adewale finally sits down with his closest colleagues and opens up. His wife, Seri, and his two daughters, Nike and Kike, are already living in the United Kingdom. The family is settled there. And now, Bepo has been offered a teaching position in London. His family wants him to leave Nigeria and join them.

Let me ask you something. Does that sound like bad news?

To most people, no. His colleague Mr. Audu laughs and says he would not think twice. He would run straight to the airport. And honestly, can you blame him? We are talking about £3,600 a month. In Nigeria’s current reality, that is not an opportunity. That is a miracle.

So why is Bepo crying?

That is the question nobody can answer. Because for Bepo, Stardom Schools is not just a job. It is his life, his identity, his purpose. Leaving is not simple for a man like him.

Now, this chapter also gives us something you must never forget the origin of his nickname.

When Bepo was headmaster at Stardom Kiddies, he had a habit of acting out characters from the famous Nigerian television drama, Village Headmaster. His colleagues found it entertaining, the name caught on, and from that day he became known as The Lekki Headmaster.

That nickname is the title of this novel. When JAMB asks where it came from now you know exactly what to write.

Chapter Three: The Japa Syndrome

Pay close attention here, my student, because this chapter will hit very close to home. You have heard the word “japa” before in your house, your neighbourhood, among your relatives. This chapter brings that conversation right into the novel.

Bepo starts listening. He hears stories of Nigerians abroad earning the equivalent of ₦150,000 in a single day. Just one day. Now compare that to what a hardworking Nigerian teacher earns in an entire month, and you will understand exactly why his ears are wide open.

He speaks directly with Sola, a former Stardom Schools teacher now settled comfortably in the United Kingdom. Sola tells him not to worry. That the move is worth it. And for a moment, it all sounds beautiful.

But this is where Kabir Alabi Garba shows his brilliance. He does not let Bepo or you hear only one side. Because the truth, my student, is never that simple.

Bepo also hears the other side. People who struggled painfully to adjust. Cultural differences nobody warned them about. And that deep, quiet loneliness that no salary in the world can fix.

This chapter has no big fights or shocking revelations. But do not let that fool you. It is one of the most honest chapters in the entire novel because it captures exactly what the japa conversation sounds like in real Nigerian homes every day.

For your exam JAMB loves theme questions. Migration, economic hardship, the tension between ambition and belonging are all right here in Chapter Three. Mark them well.

Chapter Four: The Grammar War

Now pay attention here because this chapter is one you will enjoy and one JAMB loves to set questions from.

Garba takes us back in time in this chapter. We are no longer in the present. He is showing us a scene from the school’s past, and it is a scene that will make you laugh and think at the same time.

It is Open Day at Stardom Schools. Parents have come to see the school, meet the teachers and ask questions. Everything is going smoothly until one parent decides to cause a scene.

This parent stands up and publicly accuses Mr. Fafore, the English teacher, of making a grammatical error. Not in private. Not in a quiet corner. Right there, in front of everybody. And if that was not enough, the parent goes further demanding that Mr. Fafore be dismissed from his job.

Think about that. A parent came to Open Day and decided the best use of that opportunity was to get a teacher sacked over grammar. That tells you a lot about the pressure teachers face in private schools, where some parents believe paying fees gives them power over trained professionals.

But watch what Bepo does.

He does not panic. And he does not bow to an angry parent. He investigates the claim properly and proves clearly that Mr. Fafore’s grammar was correct all along.

That single action reveals everything about Bepo’s character. He is fair, principled and he protects his staff without apology. That is true leadership.

Know this chapter well. JAMB will test you on it.

Chapter Five: The Beesway Years

Now, before I take you further into the story, I need you to come back with me in time. We are going to look at where Bepo came from before Stardom Schools. This chapter will help you understand why Bepo is the kind of man he is.

Before Stardom, Bepo worked at a school called Beesway Group of Schools. From the very first day, things were not right. The first thing that caught his attention was the school’s name itself Beesway. Grammatically incorrect. A trained educator who believes in standards could not stay silent. He raised the issue with management and expected a correction. They ignored him. From that moment, Bepo was no longer their favourite person.

But that was just the beginning. The longer he stayed at Beesway, the more uncomfortable things became. He started noticing matters that went far beyond poor grammar. He began to suspect that the school’s director was involved in rituals. Dark things. Things that had absolutely no place near children and education. So Bepo did what any man of conscience would do. He left.

Now here is the lesson I want you to hold onto, because JAMB loves to set questions around this. That Beesway experience is not just a backstory. It is the very reason Bepo poured everything into building Stardom Schools. He had seen firsthand what happens when the wrong person controls a child’s education greed, carelessness and darkness wearing the face of a school.

Stardom was his answer. His proof that education could be done right.

So whenever you see how deeply Bepo feels about Stardom, remember Beesway. That is the root of everything.

Chapter Six: Ade as Well as Jide

Now, this chapter may not be the loudest in the novel, but I need you to pay attention to it because it carries some very important lessons that JAMB loves to test.

Let me introduce you to someone new Jide. Jide is the grandson of Bepo’s landlord. And here is what I want you to notice about Bepo in this chapter. Every weekend, without any contract, without collecting a single kobo, Bepo sits down with this young boy and teaches him elocution and African history.

Nobody asked him to do it. Nobody is paying him for it. But Bepo sees a young mind that needs guidance, and for a man like him, that is reason enough. That tells you everything about who Bepo Adewale is at his core. Teaching is not just his job it is who he is.

Now, this chapter also brings us to something else I want you to follow carefully the rivalry between two students, Banky and Toss. These two have been at each other’s throats since JSS 3. What started as a simple competition between two young boys has grown into something much deeper.

And this is the part I want you to think about, my student. Their clash is not just about who is smarter or who performs better in class. It runs through family, politics, and old grudges that were never properly settled. Two young people, carrying burdens that were never originally theirs.

That is the message Garba is passing across here the battles of adults have a way of landing on the shoulders of children.

Remember that point. It is a theme JAMB can test you on.

Chapter Seven: The Cooperative and the Cars

Now pay attention here, because this chapter is where things begin to get very interesting.

Cast your mind back to your own school. You know how teachers sometimes form a cooperative a savings group where everyone contributes money every month and takes turns collecting? That is exactly what the staff at Stardom Schools did. They called it the Stardom Cooperative Society. Over time, this group had accumulated a significant amount of money.

But something is not adding up.

All of a sudden, certain members of staff are showing up to school in brand new, expensive cars. Nobody announced a salary increase. Nobody won a lottery. So where is this money coming from?

The Managing Director notices. And when a man in that position starts asking questions, you know trouble is brewing.

The truth that this chapter is pointing you to is simple but painful some people had apparently helped themselves to far more than their fair share of the cooperative funds. Money that belonged to everyone had quietly found its way into the pockets of a few.

Now, as your teacher, I need you to understand why JAMB loves this chapter. It is not just about stolen money. It is about what happens when greed enters a place that was built on trust. Stardom Schools prides itself on integrity and discipline. Yet right inside its own walls, corruption is quietly doing its work.

That, my student, is the real lesson of Chapter Seven. Corruption does not always wear a politician’s face. Sometimes it sits in a staffroom and drives to work in a new car.

Chapter Eight: The Prefect Elections

Now pay attention here, because this chapter is one you will enjoy and JAMB knows it too.

Stardom Schools does something that surprises everyone. Instead of the principal simply walking into class one morning and pointing at a student saying “you are the new prefect,” the school decides to do something different. They introduce a democratic election. Students will vote for their own leaders. Every student gets a say.

Now I want you to think about that. In most Nigerian schools, that never happens. The principal chooses, and that is final. So when this idea is announced, you can imagine the reaction. Some students are excited. And some are nervous. While some begin calculating immediately.

And that is exactly where things get interesting.

Those old tensions you noticed in the earlier chapters? They come back here with full force. Friendships are tested. Loyalties are questioned. Students who were quiet suddenly find their voice. Students who seemed popular discover they are not as loved as they thought. The election floor becomes a mirror and not everyone likes what they see in it.

Where is Mr. Bepo Adewale through all of this? He is watching. Quietly. Patiently. He steps in when he must, but most of the time he lets the process run. He trusts the students enough to let them make their own choices and live with the results.

And that right there tells you everything about who Bepo is as an educator. He is not interested in control. He is interested in growth.

Chapter Nine: Point of No Return

Now pay attention here, because this is the chapter I personally want you to read twice.

Bepo travels to Badagry. And if you know your Nigerian history, you already know what that name carries. But let me remind you anyway.

The Point of No Return is a real place in Badagry. It is the exact spot where enslaved Africans were loaded onto ships and taken to the Americas. They walked through that gate and never came back not because they chose to stay away, but because they had absolutely no choice. That gate swallowed them whole.

Now here is what Garba does in this chapter that makes it unforgettable. He places Bepo at that very spot. And as Bepo stands there, staring at the weight of that history, something begins to stir inside him. He draws a painful, uncomfortable line between what happened to those enslaved Africans centuries ago and what is happening to young Nigerians today doctors, engineers, teachers and graduates packing their bags and leaving. What people now call japa.

But before you jump to conclusions, hear me clearly. Garba is not saying japa equals slavery. Do not write that in your exam. The people leaving today are making a free choice. The enslaved Africans had none.

What Garba is asking is far deeper than that. When a country’s best hands all decide to leave, is what remains truly different from a loss? And is that loss reversible?

That question, my student, has no easy answer. Carry it with you.

Chapter Ten: The Farewell

Now we have reached one of the most emotional chapters in the entire novel. Read this one slowly.

Stardom Schools does not let Mr. Bepo Adewale go quietly. The school organises a full three-day farewell celebration in his honour. Three whole days. That alone tells you the kind of man Bepo is and the kind of mark he has left.

There are debates, cultural performances and a novelty football match. But the moment that will stop you completely is the Canoe Dance.

During that dance, Bepo has a vision. Right there, with music playing and people celebrating around him, he sees the transatlantic slave trade. He sees the ships. And he sees the pain. But he sees people being taken from these very shores. In the middle of a farewell party, Bepo finds himself standing inside history and it shakes him deeply.

Now pay attention here because JAMB loves this kind of detail. That vision connects directly to Badagry a place tied deeply to Nigeria’s history of slavery. Garba is reminding you, through Bepo’s eyes, that the ground these characters walk on carries a very heavy past.

After the celebration, Mrs. Gloss presents Bepo with a cheque of $10,000 the largest farewell gift Stardom Schools has ever given anyone. Let that sink in.

The occasion looks joyful on the surface. People are clapping and smiling. But underneath all of it sits a quiet sadness nobody is saying out loud because deep down, nobody truly believes Bepo is actually leaving.

Chapter Eleven: The Airport

Follow me closely here, because this chapter is very important and JAMB knows it.

Bepo is at the airport. His bags are packed. His documents are sorted. Everything is ready. To anyone watching him, this man is leaving Nigeria and that is final. London is waiting. A new life is waiting.

But then Bepo falls asleep at the airport and what happens next will stop you in your tracks.

He has a dream. Not a peaceful dream. Not a hopeful dream. A vivid, deeply disturbing dream in which he is commanded to board a slave ship.

A slave ship.

Now think about that carefully. Of all the things his sleeping mind could have shown him, it showed him chains. It showed him captivity. It showed him a journey taken by force, not by choice.

He wakes up shaken.

Now let me explain what Garba is doing here, because this is the kind of thing your examiner wants you to understand. That dream is not just a dream. It is Bepo’s own mind talking to him. Deep inside, a part of him does not want to go. A part of him knows that London is not truly where he belongs not in the way his colleagues are celebrating and imagining it to be.

But here is the real question I want you to think about as my student can a man turn back when everyone around him is already clapping for his departure?

That is the tension Garba places on Bepo’s shoulders in this chapter. And it is heavy.

Chapter Twelve: The Return

Now we have arrived at the final chapter. Pay close attention because this is where everything comes together.

Remember everything Bepo has been through. The tears at the assembly. The pressure. The betrayal. The weight of a school and a community sitting on one man’s shoulders. After all of that, what does he do?

He comes back.

Bepo turns around and walks back to Stardom Schools. Nobody forced him. He made that decision himself and announces he is staying.

Now you might be wondering about his wife and daughters. Fair question. But Bepo is not abandoning his family. He has simply accepted a truth he could not escape. His purpose is here. His place is here.

The staff are overjoyed. The students are overjoyed.

Garba closes this novel on something simple but powerful a man who chooses his calling over comfort. A man who picks his community over convenience. In a country where the best people are always tempted to leave or give up, Bepo chooses to stay.

That ending is honest. It is real.

And that, my student, is The Lekki Headmaster. Make sure this story sits well in your mind before exam day. You are ready

Major Characters in The Lekki Headmaster

Mr. Bepo Adewale (The Protagonist)

Bepo is the heart of the novel. He is a tall, light-skinned man in his late forties, deeply committed to education and to Stardom Schools. His nickname comes from his talent for mimicking characters in the old Village Headmaster TV drama. He is principled, empathetic, occasionally stubborn, and fiercely loyal to his students. His internal conflict between family and vocation drives the entire story.

Mrs. Seri Bepo

Bepo’s wife, already settled in the United Kingdom with their daughters Nike and Kike. She loves her husband and wants the family together, but she does not fully grasp or perhaps does not want to engage with how much Bepo’s identity is tied to his school. She is not a villain; she is a woman trying to build a better life for her children.

Mrs. Ibidun Gloss

The school’s most memorable teacher. Sharp, witty, and known for remarks that cut to the point without being unkind. She is one of Bepo’s most trusted colleagues and is often the one who says in three words what others spend an hour circling around.

Mrs. Grace Apeh (Vice Principal)

The steady hand who holds the school together when Bepo is unable to. She takes over the assembly in Chapter 1 without drama and without making anyone feel worse. Competent, calm, and quietly indispensable.

Mr. Audu

The Fine Arts teacher, and a source of comic relief throughout the book. He is the colleague most vocally baffled by Bepo’s hesitation to leave for the UK. His jokes land, but they also reveal a deeper truth: for many Nigerians, the idea that someone would choose to stay is simply incomprehensible.

Jide

The landlord’s grandson, whom Bepo teaches for free on weekends. Jide represents the quiet, uncelebrated work that good teachers do the teaching that happens outside classrooms and outside contracts, simply because someone cares. JAMB Subject Combination for All Courses 2026: Requirements & Career Guide

Major Themes to Know for JAMB

The Japa Syndrome and National Identity

This is the novel’s most urgent theme. The japa syndrome the mass emigration of Nigerians seeking better lives abroad is presented not as a simple matter of ambition, but as a moral and emotional crossroads. Bepo’s struggle asks: what do we owe to the country that shaped us?

Dedication and Vocation

Bepo’s relationship with teaching goes beyond profession. It is a calling. The novel argues that some people find their deepest meaning in service and that walking away from that service, even for understandable reasons, carries a real cost.

Historical Memory and Modern Choices

The Point of No Return sequence connects Nigeria’s colonial past to its present-day brain drain. This is not a simple comparison, but it is a provocative one. Garba is asking his readers to think about whether voluntary departure and forced departure have more in common than we like to admit.

Integrity in Leadership

Both the Grammar War chapter and the Cooperative Society subplot deal with what it means to lead with honesty. Bepo’s defence of Fafore, and his discomfort with what he suspects is happening at Beesway, show a man who takes integrity personally.

Community and Belonging

Ultimately, Bepo chooses to stay because of community not because Nigeria is perfect, but because the relationships he has built here are irreplaceable. The novel suggests that belonging is not just about geography or salary. It is about who needs you and who you have chosen to be responsible for.
