The principal was nicknamed "The Lekki Headmaster" because...

This question is a reading comprehension question, and that matters for how we solve it.

Step 1: Analyze the question It asks why the principal was nicknamed "The Lekki Headmaster." The question depends on a specific passage (it mentions "the Village Headmaster" and "Stardom Kiddies School"). That passage was not included in what you sent me.

Step 2: Explain the concept In JAMB comprehension, the answer is always found in the passage, not in general knowledge. Look for the sentence where the nickname is first mentioned, and the reason is usually given right beside it.

Step 3: Work through the options

• A. Living in Lekki would explain the "Lekki" part, but the question asks about the nickname as a whole, and this would be a plain fact, not something a passage would usually build a nickname around.
• B. "The Lekki Headmaster" is clearly a play on "The Village Headmaster," a well-known Nigerian TV drama. A nickname that mirrors a TV title fits well with someone humorously imitating its characters. This option explains the wordplay.
• C. Introducing a new curriculum has no link to the name "Lekki" or to "Headmaster" as a joke.
• D. Founding a school would make him a founder or proprietor, and it does not explain the nickname.

Step 4: Answer My reasoning here comes from the structure of the nickname, so if your passage says something different (for example, that he lived in Lekki and the nickname came from that), check it against the text.

Correct answer: B

Exam tip: When a nickname resembles a known title, such as "The Village Headmaster" and "The Lekki Headmaster," the nickname is usually a parody or imitation of it. Always confirm by finding the exact line in the passage before you choose.
