School Assembly

Children of our heavenly king,
as we jolly sweetly sing
sing our saviou's worthy praise
Glorious in his works and ways

We are travelling home to God
In the ways our father trod
They are happy now and we
And we soon will follow thee

-------------------------------------

God whose name is love
Happy children we,
Listen to the hymns that we sing to thee

Help us to be Good
Always Kind and true
in the games we play or the work we do

Bless us everyone
singing here to thee
God whose name is love
Happy may we be

----------------------------------

Rock of Ages Cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee,
Let the waters and thy blood
From thy riverside which flows
Be of sin the double cure
Clense me from its guilt and power,

there were some hymns we knew off head then that we didnt need to open any songs of Praise,

Imoortal. Invisible GOD ONLY WISE,
In lightling assessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed most glorious the ancient of days
Almighty , Victorious, thy great name we praise,

Oh those good ol'days,

o show me d way to go o,

i wonder who remembers this:

Yi ese re si akpa kan, mase te kokoro oni
kokoro ti iwo ko le da, olorun lo da.

OH THE GREAT OLD DUKE OF YORK

[ont=Lucida Sans Unicode]Old national Anthem[/font][color=#006600][/color][b]

"Nigeria We Hail Thee" (1960-1978)

Nigeria we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood we stand,
Nigerians all are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.


Stanza 2

Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honour'd,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.


Stanza 3

O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed,
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.

Determination is my motto
Determination

I love to go awandering
Along th emountain track
And as I go
I love to sling
My Nap sac on by back

slimslim:

I remember when skipping


24 rockety (Don't even know the word) jumped on my leg, I say run out!
I say run in!
If I want to roll, like a rolling mortar, rolling mortar
How many children, will you have
1,2,3,

The number you skipped is the number of children you will get,

Good ol days!

you're right. It was a skipping rope. This was what i was referring to here:

tpia.:

and the song we used to find out about the future like if/when/why would we marry, what kind of house we'd have- duplex,face me i face you, bungalow, etc.

how many bedrooms, how many kids, what kind of husband- ugly/handsome, short/tall, fat/skinny, etc.

what kind of job

where would we go to school- nigeria, overseas, ghana, botswana, congo etc


I think it went something like this:

Question-where will you born your child?

Answer- hospital, bathroom, home, toilet

you had to choose only one answer and we were always scared of picking some disgraceful one

again, the method used was like rock paper scissors

everyone always tried to make sure they landed on better thing.

number of children was an exception though- zero was unacceptable as were higher numbers

ojo n ro,
sere n nu ile,
ma wo nu ojo,
ki aso re, ma ba tutu,
ki otutu, ma ba mu o!

Good ol days!

day by day, dear Lord of the three things, I pray,
to see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly,
follow thee more nearly, , AMEN!!!!

we le pa mi la yo, iro, iro nla

Oh dear, what can the matter be,
dear, dear, what can the matter be?
oh dear, what can the matter be
