My father was before then the headmaster of the elementary school in Garkida.
It was a missionary school, and obviously, he was a Christian.
When the Second World War broke out in 1939, the missionaries closed all their functions because there were problems moving from the United States to Europe, then to Africa, because of the hostilities that were over the place.
Therefore, my father stopped being the headmaster.
He looked for employment with either the Native Authority or the government, and when he went to Yola, one obvious employment was the recruitment of every able-bodied young man into the Nigerian Army to aid the British war efforts.
