We used 'straight for English' series. The one I enjoyed most is that of book five (the story teller) ; Hassan and Ado-cheating does not pay, how the hare got its long tail, a story that lasts for more than a week-locusts , Toma and Tani 1 Like |

I like Edet is eight years old - Primary-3. But I think Agbo Malaika lives in the town of Lagoon which is not far from Ibadan. -Primary-4 is more memorable. But I still remember Ugo and Eki of primary -1. IN IGBO IT IS CERTAINLY, "AKA BEKE GBUO ... " |

Rapmoney: Sometimes we tend to drift away to way back...primary school days when you would be called out by the class teacher to read a passage from the English text. U guys have easily forgotten of Mr. Giwa the shop keeper, he has a Shop in Lawal's Village. |

unmask: oxford book 5 and 6....mr bako and his family's travel round Nigeria.....that was my best taught me a lot about Nigeria right from my desk....learnt the word terminus there...... Oxford was also my best even though my school at that time used only Macmillian textbooks. I got the Oxford textbooks from my neighbours and read it from end to end. And I was always day dreaming about the trip Mr. Bako and his family made around the country . I also liked the 'Boy Slave, which was our literature textbook in JSS 1. We even nicknamed our class bully `Matamba, and if he heard you call him that, he will then pounce on you just like the character in the book. I also liked African Night Entertainment- it had characters like Malam Abubaki, Zainobe and Kyauta. Just like you, I also read everything I came across. From 'Peter & Jane' (Ladybird books) to pacesetters, in fact whenever I ran out of novels, I would simply open the bible and start reading the old testament war stories like a story book. wow! what a flood of nostalgia...I miss those good days. 2 Likes |
