EKOSuperior:
Do u know that Ali is no longer a boy? Simbi is now a mother with two children Chike is no longer the river boy but he is now a Marine Engineer. Edet no longer lives in Calabar but has moved to Canada. Agbo is happily married too and has left the town of Lagoon for London. Eze no longer goes to school, he is now a graduate. Even Mr Salami is no longer a farmer but a politician. Remember Ralia the sugar girl? she now owns one of the biggest sugar factories in Kano. Ade our naughty little brother is now a doctor in one of the biggest hospitals in the country.

vivaciousvivi:

Its strange how all of a sudden, you have so many questions that dont really gel together just by looking at this picture:
1. How is Mrs Nwosu "cooking" rice on a flat wooden table top?
2. Why on earth will she have fresh tomatoes touching a hot pot
3. Why is her daughter cutting fresh pineapple on a bare table top and not a cutting board?
4. Why would either of them allow Mary sweep with dust and all with an open pot of food and freshly cut pineapples nearby?
5. How is Mr Nwosu just bringing in live chickens and rice don done?

Questions.....Questions


Wasn't Agbo Book 4 and Edet Book 3?

I think its tales my grandmother told me.

I read things fall apart, David Copperfield, Gulliver travel, Macbeth, the gods are not to blame, our husband's has gone mad again, the African child, without a sliver spoon, the trial of something, there is one by Cyprian ekwensi I am trying to remember.

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.

Macmillan was the best textbook... For the fact that your younger ones can still use it after you've move to the next class...
But you gat use newspaper or calender take cover both first and back before you write your name.

jubrilELsudan:
YEAH I READ THIS BOOK WITH IKEBE SUPA AND LOLLY

PaulOtl:
All these very local , good for nothing books that could never have prepared you for the trials and wickedness going on in this country. How to fetch water from the stream, taught girls how to gossip through gossip scenes in the books, how to play hair (chuku and thread (mtshew) ) was what some of these books was teaching Nigerian pupils who read them.
Mtsheww. * Long sigh *

P.s My school never recommended or asked us to buy such books, back in the day. Not even those Simbi goes to school , or is it Simi goes to school books that were widely known around schools.
I didn't miss out on anything, as far as I'm concerned... Lol.

Meanwhile, I was busy reading ' sleepover girls club 1,2,3 and more. My mates and I were busy reading; Hansel and Gretel, Wind In The Willows, The Meadows, Rapunzel, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs...and a few more interesting, knowledge-growing books for kids back then.

kasim155:


Nice one bro. I don't know if this generation are reading good novels just like ours then.

Lies

Ali is a Yahoo boy with a big HK filled with young boys

Simbi is already an evening newspaper after hoeloshoing everywhere scatter, now she sells wigs, bags and cosmetics on Facebook,

Chike an engineer The same chike that was initiated into a fraternity and he even became their chief executioner

Last we heard of him, was that he was gunned down during an unsuccessful robbery operation along auchi okene express

Edet is actually working on a project,

How to process 504 dogmeat into cans, of course Edet has a 404 joint where people drink Pammy and 404 perpersoup filled with perewinkles.

Agbo happily married Come to our cantel and see for yourself, that guy is a serial drunkard and a heavy smoker of Sk mixed with captain black, his wife always complain about his noise making and how he batters her with any given opportunity, this Easter Sunday he slept on the gutter close to Asoro bus stop Benin City

Eze is an unsuccessful spare parts dealer at uwelu market,

Mr Salami has been long Dead, he probably must have died of an ailment that requires been flown abroad, but because he has no cash, and no one willing to bring cash, he sorted agbo to help, but on the long run, he gave up

But the most funny thing is that when his family wanted to bury him, Cows and huge donations where seen from relatives and friends from different direction

Ralia sugar factory in Kano You must be joking

Ralia is an avid promoter of kanyemata, (maybe that's the sugar you're referring to)

Ade was caught yesterday with human skull

All in All, the system failed them.

Don't even call

Ure chukwe, obi and nnena, akin the drummer boy, ( that one died trying to emulate Cobahms) whom actually was even agemates with his son.

He crossing the road to play at the ojota express when a stupid danfo driver with egbo ran him over
