FrancisTony: All these Igbotic and northern schools.

We didn't use or know it here in the west.

we understand !

it was the butters' that used it, peeps that went to amukoko / bariga community secondary school will know little or nothing about the flask

Youngsage: Hehehe... So who else remembers this bottle from primary school? It was so common, almost every kid had one! I don't think it's still available now though. Do you? Let's bring back those memories!

yes now..that we use to hold hands when going to school

Hmmm...I did nt even use water bottle throughout my primary school..nah pure-water tins..

Lols, always finish everything b4 getting to school.

av never seen it until now... twas not common down here

Lol...had something similar. Mine was more stylish though. I still remember the smell of my lunch box. And how much I loved Ribena.

I used it so well. dat I almost turned it to a *safe. coz I felt twas too secured

FrancisTony:


Shush! I am not a tribalist. I say the plain truth.

Even if they used it in the west, maybe nah those local schools (no offence )

Last bullet- Privileged kor, Privileged ni.

Brov to use these back in the days was a privilege, cos you need to have extra food and water to put in those, to have one,if you cant afford xtra you wont need one then your throat would be dry during breaks cos then pure water no de exist sef

Hehe...had something similar to this several years ago...I think twas was blue or somfin...#one day I left it in school,and when I returned it wasn't there anymore

PLEASE HELP ME
A friend of mine who is also a Nairalander like meadvised me to write it here hoping 4 ur consideration for front page.

I was given admission this year into University of Ilorin, thank God and I pray that those of u expecting d subsequent lists wil see ur names there Insha Allah. However, d troubles am battling with is money. I resorted to this, as d last surviving means after my countless unyielding trials. I am cocksure the comments box wil be full of unending insults and abusive languages of all sorts from many and at the sametime am also sure some wil believe me and undastand my plight. However, one thing is tha, I never think of coming up with dis, infact, i found it embarrassing and disgusting asking for help from people who didn'nt know me buh I just took d courage, endurance and perseverance to write it as advised by a friend of mine who said in Yoruba aphorism tha "Ai le soro ni ibere oriburuku"
I am a guy who struggles all alone to make my educational pursuit comes to reality cos I am from a poor family. No, sorry, a very poor family i mean. Mind u, it is not that I am mocking my family, it is jst dah it is like dat, God wants it. When I saw d message of Unilorin admission, there were mixed reactions that day; I was so happy because I have been trying to get it 4 d past 3years with no luck likewise I was very sad and perplexed about the money that wil be involved. Knowing my background fully well, I have gone to the nook and cranny where my relatives are, no luck. I was advised to write to a d counsellor 0f my area, a commissioner which i did but no luck rather. Well-to-dos, same story.
What next?
I even try if I could get a loan buh no security. These are the things I hav been doing since.
U may want to ask, didn't I know am going to pay before? Hmmmn... Yes, i knw buh I am a primary sch teacher whose earning is very small. We all know most of these private schools are jst all about exploiting their teachers. Private teachers especially in Ilorin will understand me better. And d little of my salary are d ones used to register WAEC, JAMB and POSTJAMB. However, my uncle who could and promised me to take care of d money died in a fatal accident last year... so sad 4 his demise. MHSRIP...sobs little... That is y things fall apart like this.
I am using this post to summon d general public to solicit for their help because I haven't paid anything and the admission is on the threshold of forfeit in 4days time. (September 21)
In case u want me to meet u I can come anywhere within Ilorin. And I hope dah one day I wil repay ur kindness gestures.
Thanks for ur anticipated help, care, concern and undastanding.
For ur thorough verification, u can log on to Unilorin website with my details to confirm.
