Pills of Pacelli

The book x-rays alleged awkwardness in an elementary school by a young lad, whose academic pursuit had been slowed down by Macula Degeneration. As the disease lacks any confirmed cure, his doctors referred him to an institution for children with special needs. The school in focus, is Pacelli School for the Blind in Lagos Nigeria. It was established by the Catholic Mission in the 60s and subsequently taken over by the government of Lagos State, when the Nigeria nation was under military regime. For instance, Pacellians were built up in the rigours of a mild army, as if once outside the four walls of the school, twice that standard would be required to readily glide along. Above all, every student of Pacelli, and even the staff, was instilled with the instinct of independent-living /brotherhood, discipline/caution, timeliness punctuality and the burning quest for knowledge/perfection . When the journey ends, the character gets to know that all of the things that may have once been dreed in anguish, are the same things that generally arouse nostalgia in everyone.
