HerexG :
I remembered then when we having reading in class my heart always beat due to fear of chopping cain

Our auntie (Teacher) will then call out everybody one after the other in front of the class to read but then i was proper olodo, couldn't read. I was made a scapegoat until primary 4 when i learnt how to read by fire by force. What an experience

I love "Ifieanyi and Obi".

Ahhh! Ifeanyi and Obi! Was definately my fave literature book! I read that book die! Also liked Twilight and the tortise and all Enid Blyton books.
For the Macmillian seris, Agbo was my fave character. I so wanted my dad to get me a wristwatch just like his.
Do u guys recall the exercises after each chapter? cheesy
They don't make 'em like they used to anymore.
What grand memories!!!

Who remembers the story of the two friends who had an encounter with a boar in the bush. The tall one climbed a tree while the fat one who could not climb feigned dead, when he remembered a story that boars don't eat dead people.

Nonso23: Edet in calabar pry 2. Wakama (i hope i got the spelling right) and emeka who were athletes in their school pry4.
I can't help but remember Audu (pry1) who wanted to get a bush rat he forgot in their farm; late in the night when he and his father were halfway home already. Mehn that part where he saw the old man with a load who called him for help was our CLASSIC HORROR STORY then in school...

"What did the boar say to you? " asked his friend, and his response was "a friend in need, is a friend in deed."

Loool. Same here! I later met a family friend Professor Sada from Delta State who later became a Vice chancellor of a university. Whenever I see him I'd start "singing" Mr Sada is a farmer, he is now a professor he no longer live in Sapele but Abraka, he has a big Office. LOOOOL. The prof died recently tho. May his soul R.I.P. Professor Pius Sada is d full name. U can google him.

I remember the warrior song of Ghandoki.
I am Ghandoki the father of garba,
I am Ghandoki the warchief of the muslims,
I live a charmed life,
I live a charmed life.

Does anyone remember the poem " there was an old woman who lived in a shoe"

And "who sat and watched my infant head when sleeping on my cradle bed?"

And the song " All things bright and beautiful"

And the poem "solomon grandy- born on monday"

And then the "famous five" novel series for kids
