LWKMD ooo.. Chai una students wicked o. Well,let me remember too. Back in primary school days, our Headmaster was nicknamed Short Devil Master cos he had a very short cain and can flog the hell out of u. We also have one slim teacher [cant remember what she taught],we called her AJAKOLOKOLO, e le sinsin lori cos she did one weird hairstyle to our xmas party. Secondary school days,our maths teacher was called Mr gay or Herbert Macauley cos his moustache was like that of Herbert Macaulay and his name was Mr Fagboroye. English teacher was called Onomatopia,never knew why. CRK called Master cos he is old and also in charge of boys hostel. Further maths teacher called Mr Hamburger,coined from his name Mr Hambolu or sumtin lyk that sha. University days,had one Physics lecturer called LAFENWA BRIDGE cos anytime he's explainin,he likes using lafenwa bridge as example and also very local names. Thats all i remember for now |

sanb: My maths teacher loved the Pythagoras' theorem and couldn’t resist mentioning it during maths lessons. We got so tired of it that we now decided to call him Mr Pythagoras. So one day he was late for his class and we were all wondering out loud where is Mr Pythagoras? One of our class student now came in to inform the class that Mr Pythagoras was on his way but unknown to us, he heard the name and wonder who we were calling Mr Pythagoras? I tell you, that day wasn’t funny and anytime I remember it, I Lol...LWKMD |

There was this fine arts teacher that rode an old scooter and produced locally-made tea and the first thing he said is to ask, 'who wants to buy Raspa tea?' so he got the name Raspa. Another got ISAWURU because his name was ISAWUMI( ISAWURU is a specie of snail in Yorubaland). There was also my Geography teacher back then. He was excessively black hence, the name SKIN DUDU. ANGELI ELEGBA ( ANGEL OF CANE) was the name given to Mr Oniyilo our agric teacher because of his lethal strokes. |

Back in the days at SPCSO, our music teacher was nicknamed Mirinda, an adaptation of the young beautiful daughter of Prospero in Shakespeare's The Tempest, a text we studied at the time under Lamb Tales from Shakespeare. She was a dark, short, apparently very vulnerable, hippy lady. I still don't understand why that lady was thrown in our path at that point considering our peculiar circumstances. She was just one big distraction! |
