4 Myths Nigerian Boarding House Students Believed by Georgeattah101(m): 6:34pm On May 27, 2016 |
Remembering life in secondary school always
makes me nostalgic. Apart from it being the place
where I met some of my closest friends till date; a
lot of fond memories I hold dearly were made in
this place. One of those memories include the
crazy stories and myths we were made to believe
people before us experienced.
Most of these stories were popular in Federal
Government Colleges across Nigeria, especially
among the boarding students. The versions and
names differed from school to school, but the
effects were the same. Here are five hilarious
ones that will crack you up.
1. Madam/Lady/Miss Koi Koi
Whether she was a madam, lady or miss, this
woman’s story always creeped us out. There were
many versions of this story, but the most popular
was that, she was a ghost who used to torment
students she taught in the school before she died.
Her ghost wore red stilettos which made the
signature koi-koi sound.
‘Na so dem just scam us sha’
2. Bush Baby
This creature had the body of an animal and had
the head of a human. ‘Choiiii, see scam’. The story
was that, this creature came around at night and
cried like a baby. This is the image of an actual
bush baby, but this obviously wasn’t the
description they gave us.
3. Lady braiding her hair with her head on her
lap
Fine girl by day, headless hair-stylist by night – ‘Na
so’
Anyway, the gist was that, the girl in this story
wore a different hairstyle every day. According to
the story, another girl came out of her dorm after
Lights Out one night and saw someone sitting in
the corner headless! Apparently, she removed her
head from her body, put it on her lap and was
making it herself.
4. Black Man(Baba dudu)
This was one of the commonest ones. This so-
called Black Man visited girls’ dormitories and the
make-shift bathroom during odd hours. Gist was
that he rubbed charcoal all over his body so
nobody could recognize him, which was why he
was called black man. He also added grease on his
body, so he could escape if you tried to catch him.
Ok this man existed, he was not a spirit but a
security guard who came to steal in the
dormitory. (At least that’s what he did in my
school) |
