My mum had this method of making me use the textbooks my brother who was a year ahead of me used while he was in my class so my bro used new textbooks while i used "pass me ajeku"..
I was in primary 3 and my Macmillan english reading book was already tattered by the middle of the term.
I wanted a new one but i couldn't tell my parents so i just went and threw the book into one bush in front of the house then told my mum it got stolen at school.
My mum came to tell my teacher who in turn questioned me on how it got stolen.
I told the teacher i left it on my table and went to the toilet but could'nt find it when i got back.
The teacher questioned and punished all my classmates fruitlessly..
At the end of the day,i achieved my aim.my mum had no choice but to buy me a new book.cheesycheesy

BBDelta: I came from a very disciplined home, we were made to work hard, especially me first son. My Father was a Teacher. As early as 12 years I was already the dry cleaner in the house. My mum will pack all those "starched" brocade and babariga or Abada (we stayed in the north) for me to iron. We had this funny and weird pressing iron that was my tool. To lift the thing, men na serious weight lifting exercise.
Long story cut short, One day I given a heap of cloth to iron, which will take me a minimum of 3hrs to iron, pouring water on them. I was nodding my head (in dissatisfaction and annoyance) on the dinning while ironing and my parents were in the parlor just watching TV, all of a sudden my head hit the edge of the dinning door, I screamed and fell. Before you could say "jack robinson" blood of Jesus was being shouted all over the place and I heard the one that sparked something in me. "The iron dey shock!!!, I don talk am before" I quickly queued into it, come see me dey shake for ground and my tongue already coming out, my eyes were all going in.. MILK, MILK, MILK filled the Air!!! Oh Boy, I finish about 2 things of "three crown" milk.
Of course you know the rest; I was never made to iron for some good weeks even after the weird iron was replaced. Till today my parents still think say na electric shock me.... TRUE STORY BRO...I STILL SEE IT IN MY HEAD ...\O/

I used to search my mum's purse/bag for kobo coins.As soon as I found more than one, I took the rest, always being careful to leave one or two behind incase she needed the change. I would hide the money somewhere for 24hrs(to cool it down) and then use it for waffers and choco-milo. If she noticed and raised the alarm, I would either drop the coins behind the foot of the table on which she left the purse/bag where, although hidden, someone was bound to see it while sweeping; or I simply dropped it in the pocket of the dress she wore that day for herself or the maid to discover during laundry.
One day my Dad accused her of being careless and always looking for who to blame for misplacing her change. That was the last day she complained. I think she still believes it was always her fault

Wen i was growing up, dia was this programe me n my siblings luv watching on A.I.T by 9pm, because it collides wit NTA news, my dad alway deprive us frm watching the programe while he watches his NTA news, but b4 he switches to NTA channel 4 the news, he always luk at the clock to see if it is tym(9pm) for the net work news, so one day i resat the clock to be after time(for example, if the wright tym 4 dat day is to be 9pm, the tym in the reset clock wil be 8pm). So that faithful day, as the programe on AIT started he lookd at the clock n the tym was 8pm, den i said immediately "wow is like AIT now starts dis programe early dan b4, my siblings responded YES. So we enjoyed our programe. Finally wen the reseted tym was 9pm, my dad switchd to NTA only to find out dat they wia jus concluding the net work news, he lukd at the tym again while we ran into our mum's rum, he came into the rum lukd at me as i smiled to him at the back of my mum, he shecked his head n left. The next day he bought a tv for us in our rum. Lolz

U bad gan oooo,respect \o/ .

MY OWN STORY LONG SMALL OOOOOO

[s]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.[/s] [b]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. [/b]

It wasn't easy growing up with my uncle, but it does made me a CONFIRM SHARP BOY grin grin grin
all those long story weren't necessary. The part i dint cancel is d actual prank d op is asking of you. Elejo wewe ni e!

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!

author=kfasian]My mum was always in the habit of spanking us with bare
hands anytime we did something wrong. This hand-spanking was always
worse than using cane. She is a teacher and still teaches till date. One
nice evening, I messed up and she "landed" me gbua! gbua! bgbua! I lay
down straight on the floor screaming only once and turning my eyes
inside out. My mum rushed to me, she was afraid, held me up, started
shivering and thinking that I had fainted as a result of the beating.
She tried everything to "revive" me, yet I pretended the more. I joined
my teeth together and they tried to use spoon to ensure that my teeth
don't get locked. Sprinkled so much water on me. In the process of the
"reviving" I finished 3 tins of peak milk alone, One big bottle of
Lucozade, and was about to move up to some eggs, but not for the too
much water that she sprinkled on me. I couldn't bear that any longer as
the water had soaked me so much. Finally "I came back to life". Till
today she doesn't beat with bare hands not even her pupils in school and
she still make reference to that incidence even to my wife and kids not
knowing I faked the entire scenario. I have confessed to my wife
anyway, so whenever she talks about it, myself and my wife will be
laughing.[/quote]

My mum wouldn't allow me take water from the house to use and cook with my niggaz then. If I try she would beat me that am wasting water doing nothing when I was learning how to cook with my niggaz outside. So as nature may have it, a thought came to my mind that I can actually carry the water in my mouth from inside and turn it outside for use and so I did. So to my mum I was drinking the water. This continue till one day after "drinking" enough water and food was ready, then my mum put my own for me having in mind that I won't eat much 'cos I have been taking a lot of water just before the food came up but I surprised her and I ate so much 'cos I was very hungry. After eating and even with the amount of water I took again, my mum called the attention of my dad to me that she's suspecting there is something wrong with me that I eat abnormal. Since that day I never knew that my mum has started watching me closely until I was caught ...and there was no cooking again. Lolz.

I was a very naughty boy. My tricks were too many but there's this one I thought I got away with, until many years later. I think it happened in primary 2 or 3. I moved ten bucks from my mum's purse to buy these giant buns that caught my fancy way back then. The buns were sold by a peddler on a bike. Come and see buns!!! The things filled up a giant black nylon bag.They must have been like one million. Like 10,000 people gathered around me for the feast. I was the man!!!Lo & behold, Miss Deborah came...."Who gave you the money for the buns?". I told the teacher it was my dad. "Are you sure?" .Yes ma,I answered. Then came closing time, Miss Deborah gives me a stapled note for my dad. As a sharp boy, Iwent to a corner, read the note and in it she requested my dad to confirm giving me ten bucks, along with some graphic details. Guess what I did....I cancelled my name and jejely wrote,Nnamdi, my younger brothers name in it's place. Well, minutes later, pops came to pick us up from school,I bounced to the car, handed him the note,he read it and laughed the whole distance from school to our house without saying a word to any of us. I was perplexed, wondering why he didnt rake my younger bro. Long and short story is that, several years later, while in A.B.U.,we were moving homes and and while packing, he called me in to show me the note.I nearly died of laughter....the teacher wrote with biro while I cancelled(rather almost smudged my name out in pencil and my name was still clearly visible). Come and see the teacher's fine handwriting as compared to my scribbling. I felt so foolish....I thank God for life.
