technophile: 10. India 99 - 1 Nigeria
After India have beaten us 99 - 0, they now said if we can score just only 1 goal we have won the match. That was when Okparaji stepped in, as he was about to kick ball like this, the ball just turn into a big rock, but he managed to put the ball into the net sha and he collapsed. That's why FIFA banned India from playing football till today o.

exactly what i was made to believe!

We were told fishes drink so much water, but in essence; it has been proved that they don't drink water.

drlaykay: Animals breathe in oxygen while plants breathes in carbon(iv)oxide.
this is a pure lie as both plants and animals take in oxygen and breathe out carbon(iv)oxide though most plants are actually anaerobes.
this misconception came as a result of plants making use of carbon(iv)oxide during photosynthesis.




cool

A western instituted educational system will always be bias to the west and promote what Kofi Awoonor terms Racist scholarship. That is why our educational system taught us in primary stage that Mungo Park discovered river Niger. Isolating the fact that decades before Mungo park sailed into Africa the river rine natives used the river for domestic and commercial purposes.

That's because they weren't lies. When you teach based on the limited knowledge available in your time, that's no lie
Re: 9 Lies You Were (probably) Taught In School by DaBullIT(m): 11:38am On Aug 21, 2014
Technically

Those teachings are not lies , They said there were 9 planets , today more planets are being discovered by NASA's latest space probe telescopes . science and discovery is a continuous process , so the more scientists discover about us and earth , the more they share , but ask African ,especially Nigerian teachers and leaders to stop teaching us 1200 AD science , bring updated science into syllabus.

Adjust to the teacher's method, if it's not wrong. There are myriads of methods employed by different teachers in teaching (maths in particular). I think the teacher meant minus (-) times (x) minus (-) = plus (+). Teachers can say this in so many ways. As long as the students understand the concept, it's all well and good. If you come in with a different concept, then you get them confused. And you don't wanna do that, do you?

kelvz419: i guess, besides that was the same lies they where told..

The scientists then didn't know what they know now. So, it wasn't a lie. People don't count you a liar if you say something based on your knowledge. Check this out...

Visitor: Where is your dad?
Boy: He's not in. Please wait for him
[Dad comes out of the bedroom minutes later...]
Visitor: Haha. I thought you said your dad wasn't in?
Boy: Oh. I'm sorry, sir. I thought he had gone out

It will be wrong to smack the boy... tongue

for the senses thing its simple, the primary senses are five, but then there are secondary senses (what i call them)that utilize the primary ones. take for instance balance, it uses the sight and the earing

Largely because when you approach a young Nigerian to participate in politics,he either

1.Says that the political game is too corrupt....and retires to be an armchair critic.

2.Throws his hat into the ring...and when he loses....promptly says that ''They are all riggers and all corrupt'' and becomes an armchair critic.

3.Plays the sycophancy game....either for ruling party and opposition.....all the while looking for crumbs to chop.

4.Spends his day talking about how bad things are....and then votes for the same old same old on the better the ''devil'' you know principle.

5.Is acting as a political thug.

6.Most importantly.....does not have the patience to start a new political party.....or to do hard grassroot mobilisation work.Or he is afraid of the constant agony of losing time and time again....and takes the easy way out by ''joining the winning party....whichever one it may be''. Also,is too parochial to reach out beyond his village, tribe, region or religion to hook up with a diversity of people.

That is why the leaders of tomorrow may never rule....because most of them can't be bothered.They are their own worst enemy

I had chicken as a kid and I can confirm what u call a lie to be 10000000% true



If you touch any unhatched egg, the egg will get spoilt and won't be hatched




You can go try it by putting a mark on the touched egg and see if it will hatch

There are only basic five senses. Every other thing is base on these five.
