Mr. Sada is a farmer, he lives in Sapele, he has a big farm.... Those days, no DSTV, no Strong, no GoTV, no generators. All we had was our books and the moon. Life was good in the 90s and early 2000s

Schools those days are very funny,if u dont know how to read this book then,believe me u re half dead from my teacher then,thank God i survived it.
Those days we didn't know how to read in the real sense of the word, but could read what we memorized when the teacher read to us. I remember I could "read" the whole of the stories but could not identify any word.

Alawiye!


I used it in my primary school, wrote & came first in classes & when I was sent back to the East by my father, it was so amazing I didn't have to study Igbo I simply wrote Igbo like I have been learning it since 1900 because Igbo is very simple to write, just write it as you speak it.

Then some years later I was writing Igbo language in waec & after my papers this dude beside me begged me to help him with his yoruba language & I did! & I was so happy I could write both languages very comfortably!


And that brings me to all tribal shits we do online, its a shame on all of us. And we are all guilty of it.

I remember when Agbo's elder brother Mike came back from Overseas where he studied engineering,I remember some lines in the song the villagers sang to welcome him
"Here comes Mike the engineer 2ce
The man who will build our houses
The man who will build our roads
The man who will send our children to school"

The funny thing is the joy on their faces as they open their teeth wide to cheer does not exist in Nigeria anymore as Nigerians don't laugh again
Especially lagosians dey vex
Me I go still laff old school type sha ".lol

Seriously, you shouldn't be on this thread. This thread is for much younger audience.

Re: If You Know These Guys, You Are Old (photos) by Nobody: 2:45pm On Jun 30, 2015
In most government owned primary schools today, most pupils up to primary 5 level do not know how to read yet they have good results. I wonder how they managed to know the questions, answers and how they are able to write them if they can't read. Most of them grow up to become lazy to the extent that they can't even read any article that has more than 3 paragraphs. You see them here on Nairaland complaining and blaming the government for their own problems.
