U will agree with me that most of our african fathers will tell their children that they usually top their class during their schooling. Did your father took first position during his time? Mine told me that he took.

U nor carry first? Stay there.



U ask your popsy for proof?







I did and he showed me. The guy sabi book...





like me!

White lies meant to encourage us to perform better and better.

Dad be Like “Son, when I was your age, I was the best student. Always topping my class”

And Mum would be like “Son He repeated that class twice”.

Better go and read yr books, they didnt come first, but they took care of you, better start creating yr own foundation to take care of your children. If u think it is easy, why is everyone having 2,3 or 4 kids, why not have 7,9 or 12 like our parents let me see if you will survive another 5 years.

My own father wasn't coming first initially. he said he was a very unserious student but when he repeated a class and had to be in same class with younger ones, he gave himself brain and came like 5th. But he said the 5th sweet him well well and he added more effort and moved to the first position in his class and overall till he graduated from the university. best graduating student of his department and the faculty. He has proofs. He showed us all his results.......

The man so pushed all of us(children) that even when you come first in your class, you will be afraid of showing your result at home because he will ignore the position and focus on your grades in each subject and talk shege for your head that everybody in your class must be olodo for you to have this percentage and still manage to come first. The man's own too much but it helped us sha.

They just want to motivate us datz all

My dad usually say "at your age,I was already a manager controlling two pool girls" and am like "give me d chance and u would c how many I will control" and he talks abt grades too,even my mum always say its true dat he is a very intelligent being.

chizzy94: Pop and Mom be like "I was best in my class back in the good ol' days , you must not fall short."

And in my mind I will be like "Who gives a fvck? Where were the both of you when Dangote and Alakija were hussling."

wow, you are rude.


i guess you werent raised well, or maybe you refused instruction.

My father was a troublesome student and therefore not one of the best. It wasn't a secret. We knew it.

Yet he would not hesitate to punish us if we dared to come just second in the class ranking.

It made us think very fast.

Thank goodness I was never pressurized like that...but encouraged to try my hardest.

Nothing beats supportive parents.

My papa no carry first and he no hide am.

My dad used to do same. I remember when my younger sis was always coming first in her class and my dad would always still have something to criticize and we were like, cant this man be satisfied for once? To prove his point, he changed my sister's sch and all thru her stay in the new sch, the highest she ever got was 4th position.

Yep...and my dad has prove too...
