This book right here made our childhood days awesome.

Teachers then ensured we commit it to memory even if one couldn't pronounce or identify each word for word.

As I try to reminisce about this book. I could aptly see how our culture was portrayed in the book usually a one in a million for primary three pupils.

Our education standard was still something to reckon with back then.

Try to read between the lines, you will understand that a family is a unit that is very important in a community.

If a home fails to bring up their children uprightly, it's sure that the society will be wrecked.

Try to revisit all these books used way back in the 80's and 90's you will understand why values should be taught from homes before expecting teachers and government to emulate same.

My love for this book and the characters knows no bounds.

Share your experience Nairalanders.

Standard of education was so high then... It has fallen sharply as most schools are looking for profit at the expense of students.

how I wish could go back to those happy yrs when life was not as complex as it is now
Life has always been complex
Just that your parents were the ones carrying all the load when u were much younger, reason u felt life was easy. Now u are growing up & they are gradually leaving u to your responsibilities...then u now think life is different

Anytime u heard that Mathematics test or exam is going to come from Lacombe's pupils will just start crying. Lacombe's maths is where you test your mathematics ability. We used it in Primary 5 and 6.

I can only remember the Edet that traveled from oron to ikot ekpene... Over 30 years ago and nothing was heard of him again. �

Macmillan Book 4 or 5
There was once a village called Areta... where many people were farmers, some were traders and some were fishermen

It was around 2007 I got to know that Areta was an actual an existing village, South-West of Abuja

These are great books that shape the good men and women of today grammatically and morally.

The ministry of education should consider opening a digital library online for these books to be accessed by men of all ages.

It is also worth it introducing some of these books in our schools, it will go a long way reshaping our Chrisland Schools Children and their likes.
