Rapmoney: Does anyone still remember Mr Nwosu who has four sons and two daughters? He comes home during Xmas with chickens.mehn! I remember d pics of those fat chickens and the big pot of rice his wife was setting on d table. I dare say that chickens this days no dey fat like that again. Somewhere around that story theres a poem that says: Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat, pls put a kobo in the old man's hat |

This is what I find interesting: Not to be condescending, but practically EVERYONE commenting in this thread who actually read books, comprehended the reading and remembers what they read, writes and communicates pretty darned well. Well thought out sentences, grammatically sound construction, with good spelling. Compare with most other threads on NL with "scatta scatta" English, status updates on FB or Twitter, email messages and even memos at work written by Nigerians with multiple fancy sounding degrees! It may seem simplistic, but perhaps the true solution to Nigeria's failing education system lies primarily in reading literacy - go back to the fundamentals! Encourage early reading, fund libraries, restock libraries, promote reading contests etc! Just saying... 4 Likes |

So nobody remembers Gandoki and his three sons who fought in the land of the Jinns, Mike the engineer, Agbo's brother who came back from London; he would build the bridges, construct the roads and send their children to school. Edet and his uncle Udoh whom he followed to Ikot-Epene, passing through the cross rivers. There was one particular Omo, I've forgotten the class, Mr. Sada the farmer, Kunle, Emeka and Wakama the 3 friends in primary 5, Nnena and Nneka in Primary 6, Edet in primary 3, Agbo in Primary 4, Ali and Simbi in Primary 1 and 2. Very interesting stories, the children had an almost perfect childhood, they were totally different from the badoo omo Mushin of nowadays. 1 Like |

Juju Island. The Rainmaker and other stories. This is our chance. A cure for hiccups(brighter grammar). Bayo goes to school. Why the lizard nods its head. Chike and the river.Passport of Mallam Ilia. The drummer boy. The bottled leopard. Stories my mother told me. Alade and Biola-very educative about Nigeria. They should reintroduce it. And I agree, we need to encourage reading. |
