Answer Details

This question asks about Bepo's motivation for considering the establishment of a school in The Lekki Headmaster by Kabir Alabi Garba.

Bepo considered establishing a school because of his passion for education. Throughout the novel, Bepo is portrayed as someone who genuinely believes in the transformative power of education. His decision to start Stardom School was not driven by financial calculation, peer pressure, or family tradition, but by a deep personal conviction that education can change lives. This passion is a defining trait of his character and shapes many of the novel's central conflicts.

The other options do not accurately represent Bepo's motivation:

• "He considers it lucrative" suggests a profit motive, but the novel shows that Bepo's primary drive was idealistic rather than commercial. He faced many financial hardships precisely because education, not profit, was his priority.
• "His friends advised him to" implies external influence rather than internal motivation. Bepo's decision came from within.
• "His father was a headmaster" would suggest inherited profession, but the novel does not present family tradition as Bepo's reason for starting a school.
