About Your Primary Or Secondary School In Nigeria

Talk About Your Primary Or Secondary School In Nigeria

Men, u people don't even want to know how HAPPY i am. I was on the phone with my friend, and we just started GISTING! I mean we went from water bottles we carried in primary school, to the joka jelly shoes, to the debates in Secondary school. To the house u were in (RED, blue, green), to the P.E uniforms, to every morning assemblies. Men we were laughing and almost started crying at the memories.

So I'm making a thread, Y'all should talk about your primary and secondary school life here. Both boarding school student and day school students.

Right now, i'll share the debate part for me. lol,  Secondary school.

You know how debates now? Abi do i have to start explaining?? lol, 

In my school, we would do inter-house debates. That is, you represent your house (either red or blue, or green . . . y'all know what im talking bout right?).

Anyways i was in Red house, And i remember those debating days. The days of "I'm here to support/oppose the motion that says, Boarding schools are better than day school. But before i start, i'd like to say: Good day Mr. chairman, incorruptable panel of judges, accurate time keepers, moderators, co-debators, teachers, Student, and my fellow debators. My names 'are' _{(for some reason we used are instead of 'is' . . . lol)} So and so and so. e.tc."

Those days were fun men. I can't really explain myself well right now. But as i was just on the phone, and myself n my friend were sharing all these memories, and laughing, i just said i must start a thread about it on Nairaland.

Maybe y'all can share some of yours.

DO you guys remember Joka Jelly shoes?? You remember those bags with clocks behind them? The water bottle with two sides, and two mouths?? The days of CUltural dances in school? Assemblies with drums?? And how you would be pledging to the wrong things? (like i pledge to guguru and epa, that i'll eat them as much as i can, or the i pledge to amala and ewedu).

Anyways, y'all should share some of your stories.

who remembers ilesanmi handwriting book?? dt thing really helped u knw, i think its responsible 4 my beautiful handwriting (emphasis on d beautiful) lol. n i remember d subjects@ integrated science, intro-tech, social studies, home-economics (even thoe it was my fav, i still dnt knw how 2 sew n my cookin aint d best around) etc

who remembers when your parents will buy u pairs of shoes 2 or even 3 sizes bigger than u so they wnt av 2 buy another one d next year. my mom did dt lots of times lol. she will not put tissue in front 4 me. or on your birthdays when u'll wear mofty (i hope dts d right spellin) 2 school and u carry cabin biscuits, sweets and ice-lolly. during break time, your teacher will now call u out so evry1 can sing happy buffday 2 u. but bone o, when i got 2 primary 5 i upgraded 2 takin jollof rice, crates of drinks and cake 2 school.
