Sweet Memories:
PRI 1 - I was appointed the class monitor simply bcuz I lifted HALF block.
PRI 2 - Recognized by the HEADMASTER for conducting a solo 'sting' operation which led to the STATE expulsion of an ogbanje dude in my school.
PRI 3 - I was tortured by a macho dude in my class for exposing his after-school profession which is grinding pepper in the market.
PRI 4 - I was given a BLACK EYE by a much smaller troublesome dude in my class. My class gals had to press d eye wit ice blocks and rubb.
PRI 5 - I stayed back at school crying until it got dark cuz I came 2nd in a class of about 50. My 1st time of leaving 1st position.
PRI 6 - Became the overall school MONITOR (Head Boy) and finally reclaimed my 1st position from Isani Ogwo. That guy terrorised me academically.

You don dey lie like ur papa and mama now say na only first yu dey carry

The front page didn't mean so much to my parents I guess....But that back page was a nightmare brought me so much tears...I had to memorise almost everything in there otherwise the ruler would do some talking to my knuckles

From hindsight now,I would say thank God I had to learn the tables the hard way otherwise I won't be where I'm headed today.

oh.de days when de value of naira was strong &skool was full of love and care rest of mind & i even use 2 cut some part of dat book 2 write xams..
