[size=16pt]Those days (late 70s-early 80s), some of my classmates whose parents weren't educated/schooled, itemised PhyChemBa (combination of Physics, Chemistry and Biology) in their list of textbooks. That way, they conned their parents and got extra money. Fraud has been lurking around the corner in Nigeria for too long. Not just yesterday. [/size]

I watched films backing the tv with broken mirror between books I was supposedly reading

Severally ripped my brother's textbooks twice how torn mine is, so he wld be beaten after inspection every weekend and I would be spared or beaten less.

Once collected money for a textbook but didn't buy so borrowed a classmate's, wrapped with calendar and showed my parent at home.

And I have gone to friends' homes severally to 'copy notes' cheesy

Ah Good old days.

Pretending to have headache so as to avoid going to school and because i believed that a sick person would find it difficult to eat, I would refuse to eat but my mum would beg and force me to eat, i go dey chop the food small small till i finish am and then hide the pill she gave me under my tongue or in the sofa, the headache usually disappears after first period at school, by that time she no go say make i go school again that day.

Sneaking to watch movie with the volume at 0 in the mid night, na picture we go just dey look till we tire, kai small children sense grin

I sabi dodge church well well when i small, i always found a way to make sure i don't go, sometimes it worked and most times my mum would rather die than let me stay at home no matter how hard i tried.

i wish i got away with dis one but sadly enough, i was caught;

when i was a teen(17yrs), i brought home my girl friend after school, we had sex and i flushed the condom in the toilet but never checked to confirm it was properly flushed, o boy,
my mum came home pretty early, rushed to toilet to ease herself..., she was speechless.
It took me more than 2 weeks to get over the embarrassment

Stealing money frm my mum's purse and having everyone believe it was my dishonest uncle that stole it. Having grown up, hv secretly made it up to him several times over (conscience)!

Also secretly adding sugar to my pap while mum wasn't looking.

Changing a brother to my part of d bed that I had urinated on in d nite to have everyone believe he did it! May God forgive me o!

slimyem: As a kid,I was never allowed to watch movies. It was a school night and everyone had gone to bed except my dad.
He wanted to see a mojo and was sitting on a chair backing the dinning.
I crept silently under the dinning table and squatted there just about the time the movie was starting.
I was in that position for 2 hours straight watching the movie.
My dad went to switch off the tv when the movie ended and went into his room but did not close the door which means he was going to see me if i tried to go inside my room.

Slimyam, sweerie, ur daddy was watching po(r)no late at night?? shocked grin tongue

Ejiné: One of my numerous crimes was inflating my Junior WAEC fee like a PDP senator. I remember I presented popsie a looooong list of things needed to register for the exam, with 65% of the items being things I 'kurukerely' filled in there.
Chineke nna, come and see format.

Dad: Son, number 14 says "handling charging". What exactly is that?

Me: It's the levy that takes care of the charges for the handling.

Dad: Handling of what?

Me: It handles the charges.

Dad: Charges based on what exactly?

Me: The overall handling, of course.

Dad: How?

Me: I mean the charges.

Dad: Of what?!

Me: The handling!!!

Caracta: I was learning how to smoke (with match sticks) in the sitting room. I thought i was home alone until i heard my dad's voice. I was confused. I threw the lit-up match stick under the sofa & ran out. Before i knew it, there was smoke everywhere. There was fire outbreak. We saved what we could. Till today, nobody knows what caused the fire!

U bad gan oooo,respect \o/ .


MY OWN STORY LONG SMALL OOOOOO


I can't remember me playing any trick on my parents, but I can still remember vividly several of them while I was growing up and was living with an uncle. I used to have a very strict and great disciplinarian as an uncle. You should know what it would be like having a strict secondary school teacher as an uncle,he hardly let me go out of the room and play with other co-tenant's kids (living in first floor of a 2 storey building). I grew up being a tough and very stubborn boy, used to play rough back in those days,having injured several young kids while playing rough with them. The moments their parents were home, the next knock on our door would be theirs, they've come to report me. It always land me in serious trouble, 12 or more strokes of caning using 'Pankere'. He always keep 2 or 3 canes at home for my sake, and at times he comes home with new set of canes from the secondary school where he teaches. After serious caning, I got adapted to it and I rarely feel the pains anymore won't even cry unlike when the whole corporal punishment thing was new to me.

YOU ARE NOT TIRED READING, ARE YOU?


When he discovered that I've developed a thick skin to the caning, he introduced another punishment methodology, Cigar Obo (Monkey's cigarette) & touching the right toe with your fingers with your other leg raised up from the ground. Omo, na serious war when you don't grow up with your parents oooo. He refrained me from using the Blackpunkt Color TV Set & Sharp VHS player.

The harder and tougher he punishes me, the harder and more stubborn it get me ooo. The last punishment I could remember of, was him giving me tedious Mathematical Assignment to do from the Primary Six Macmillan Textbook while I was still in Primary Four. Of course, to him he knew what he was doing, knowing fully well that it would take me forever to get the questions solved. Imagine, being given 20 mathematical questions from Primary Six Textbook while I was still in Primary Four, TO HIM, me solving the questions really wasn't the point but just to get me busy for hours while he was away from home till he returns later in the evening after school.

DID I STILL HAVE YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION?

After being tired of boredom and being locked indoor, I discovered my uncle always knock dust his shoe on the staircase anytime he's around. Since that day, the moment he's out to work leaving me several mathematical questions, I would just plug the electronic gadgets insert a Yoruba movie (Do you still remember those Opomulero Mainframe Movies Era), chillax and enjoy my movies. The moment it's afternoon and the time he always arrive home was near, I would be vigilant. The moment, I heard someone knock dusting his footwear on the staircase I will eject the VHS cassette from the player, switch off the TV and resorted to solving the mathematical problems he gave me while he was leaving home in the a.m.

It wasn't easy growing up with my uncle, but it does made me a CONFIRM SHARP BOY grin grin grin

for those of you that grew up in benin in the early 90s friday night is indian movies,my cousin and i would always look for a way to either spoil the lamp holder or remove the starter of the flourescent bulb every other week. Then we will form mopping the parlour at night with the illumination from the tv in combo with lantern while we watch the movie(we mop the floor on fridays as we go to farm saturdays and spend most part of the day in the farm) but in all dad told us one day he knew what we hv been up to after a thorough lashing and that is how my hatred for indian movies took rooot in my heart

My dad is a very strict man, "i mean he doesn't take nonsense frm anyone" he forbids us to speak pidgin english and to say "god punish you" One day after a fight wit my elder sister my dad came back home and got d news frm our youngest sista his "best child" he called I and my Sister as we were explaining wat led us to fighting we both mistakenly spoke pidgin english and dat doubled our punishment, my dad angrily went to get a very long cain as we ran into our room to double our skirt and my polo so dat even if he gives us 24lashes tongue**no shaking** but one day he caught us and changed our punishment to pick pin..only dose who served dis punishment knows how painful it is!
