y'all should stop the pretence. if it actually happened in your time, you should be 60 and above or dead.

I remember those days when before you enroll for primary school your finger must touch your ear.

A lot of children were denied admission because of it.

Genius101:
e don tey wey naija don dey frustrate person unto sch matter

That was NOT frustration.
It was to ensure that all children in the Western region under Awo's premiership (1954-1960) were COMPULSORILY enrolled in primary schools for FREE based on the TAXES paid by:

- farmers,
- artisans,
- entrepreneurs and
- employees.

That is what gave many of today's so called elites their breakthrough in life- when they and/or their parents benefitted from the free education, which they have FAILED to replicate thus the widespread REGRESSION in our society.

life was fun then not like this indomie generation kids

Life was definitely not fun then. It sucked. Walking miles and miles to school, teachers could pretty much do whatever they wanted with you, zero electricity, walking miles to fetch water, etc. I honestly don't know what your definition of fun is but that was not fun. The only thing fun back then was soccer.

I was rejected twice in those days because I could not speak clearly. If not my uncle's sake whose his wife was a teacher in primary school I would have waited till I clocked ten b4 I starting primary schoool because I started speaking clearly when I was in pry 4. So that was not only criteria they use in those days. They expected you to have learnt some things at home. You will be asked to count certain number of small stones. Asked you to do some addition and substration. They expected you to have been speaking clearly.

nope!

One's hand must touch the ear, not one's hand must pass the ear ma! cheesy

Before one's hand must pass the ear, one must have almost passed teenage.


@Topic, who ever thought about or set that standard for primary school admission must have been so high on something else. I don't think it must have been the missionaries.


sure, its definitely not d missionaries. who ever introduced DAT policy should come openly even from grave for true repentance and forgiveness of sins.
