8 Classic Books Every Nigerian Child From The 90's Definitely Read by SynCityNg: 4:40pm On Sep 06, 2018
(Pre)Resumption week is here for both pupils and students of the primary and secondary school so let’s throw it back to that time between the late 90’s and the early 2000s when reading a book was really a thing of delight for the Nigerian child.

These books had a general sweep in the country; no way were you a child in Nigeria at that time and missed any of these, nope! Those of us who are good “keepers” still have our good ol’ books neatly stashed somewhere in the house, gathering dust or not.

We have made a compilation of some of the books that will always be a memorable part of our childhood:

�Sugar Girl: the story of the poor sweet adorable village girl Ralia who spent all day taking care of her sick parents instead of going to school because abject poverty but still won’t be left in peace by that wicked witch, Ayawa.

I mean, hello, sugar girl already had enough troubles in her life. Why must you go and kidnap her again? Na wa o.

Expectedly, sweet Ralia won the sympathy of your darling little heart and Ayawa, your curses.

The book kept you on toes because you kept anticipating what would happen next.

�Macmillan Primary English: Unarguably the best class textbook at the time. I don’t know what texts they use these days but these, these had the finest, and most engaging stories that we all could relate with, alongside its exercises.

From Ali and Simbi and Mr and Mrs Salami to Edet who lived in Calabar to Agbo who lived in the town of Lagun and Mr Nwosu with the two fat hens for Christmas, remembering these textbooks sure bring back nostalgic feelings... http://syncityng.com/2018/09/06/8-classic-books-every-nigerian-child-from-the-90s-definitely-read/
