I did a lot of stupid things which I won't be able to mention all but some such as

- Closing the freezer slowly to see when it will go off
- Licking plate after eating
- Making bed houses. I once burnt my elder sister's room because I took a lit candle inside with me in one of my bed houses. I would have been burnt alive that day but God save me.

I was inside the bed house eating while I placed the lit candle at the entrance of the bed house to brighten the place.

All of a sudden the candle tilted and fell exactly on the foam which started a fire. I watched in shock until the fire took a c form at the entrance. I started panicking. Behind me was a wall so I had no choice but to try the entrance. I crawled out trying to be careful but the heat struck my back making me to yell out hitting the bed subconsciously.

Being free, I ran to the kitchen to get a cup of water (according to my small mind) thinking it will quench the flame but it rather increased it.

Long story short, ceiling burnt, neighbours gathered, my sister angry, my mum furious, my dad surprised, properties destroyed (if you see the fans ehn), smoke rising up the roof, the hero (me) - standing at the front of the place I destroyed, confused, afraid and unhurt. To God be the glory cheesy

- Writing a love note to a girl in my class which was read aloud publicly. The girl is even ugly now
- Putting my legs in a pillow pretending to be a mer-prince from fiction alongside my sisters grin
- Looking up at the sky and asking God for a Ben 10 watch. Don't blame me sha, too much film
- Jumping from the chair/fence breaking my arm, ankle and one day even my neck. God dey my back sha
- Accidentally swallowing an earring while playing at a supermarket
- Crossing road over and over with my younger sister just for fun until our neighbour saw and scolded me.
- Crossing road when I was a baby due to my mother's carelessness. I wandered away while she was plaiting a customer's hair unknowingly to her, crawled to the express, crossed the road but was unhurt. Good samaritans brought me back home to my already panicking mother who was glad to see me.

Hmm, as I recall all these events, I feel very motivated and grateful, all I can say is all thanks to God. I'm really lucky and doing perfectly well today.


Hahaha.. sounds like you had a perfect 80s/90s childhood grin

I opened the fuel tank of my Uncle's lorry and tried to set it on fire..


To this day,I believe am here because of two reasons :

1.There was no fuel in the tank..
2.It was a Diesel engine and not petrol..

The extent to which children can expose themselves to danger is limitless.. embarassed

Constant fighting with my 2 kid brothers for as long as I can remember, eventually I lost the one that followed me immediately in a boat mishap at about the time we've both outgrown the childish behavior . But the picture of the childhood hatred we had in our early years still haunt me till date. cry

In our old house we used to have a tenant that was a pastor, the guy got married to one beautiful fine cute pretty lady, as at that time u only see ppl like that on tv. Omen I was passing on an errand one day when I came across her window open while she was bathing. I swear I was a virgin back then but that was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen as I have never seen any female naked before. After that time I made that spot my location undecided.

I became more stealth, morning afternoon night I dae der, until one day I didn't know what happened everything went according to plan until I chook head and guess what I saw she she was facing the window and our face jam... The rest is history

Had a bet with my cousin. I'd jump down from a 3 story building in return for her dinner. How I didn't die remains a mystery. I was bed ridden for 3 months, wore POP on my leg for almost a year.

Used to jump from 2 stories to heap of soft sand for fun that year.

My Grandma usually had this red shining round beautiful thing carefully placed at one corner of her shelve . I always hang around her because I was the last born at that time.

She would take one out of those thing and start chewing then I thought this must be sweet or something so I stole one and kept it inside my pocket.

I forget until later at night this devil start whispering into my ears to dip my hands into my pocket smiley then I found this precious sweet smiling back at me cheesy

That devil whisper to me not to lick but swallow everything before my siblings come to take their share then I comply.. my brother, that was one of the most terrific moment of my life shocked

I chop and swallow everything after 15seconds I began to sweat and make some funny sound in a low volume. All my body deh shake like small pikin weh get giri cheesy

Bros, I tried to control my self but my body no gree so I scream out!!!!! I scream again!!!!! Everybody don come ..

Nah after 20min dem come tell me say that sweet weh I go thief chop nah ATA RODO. grin

Honestly I would definitely die if I try to do half of the things I've done when I was a little kid.. I once drink kerosene and nothing happened.

I spoilt the umbrella given to me at a birthday party, tied it on my back, and tried to fly like superman.

Mine was kinda similar to yours, after watching Iron Monkey over and over with my homies then we were of same age group though, so we decided to jump down our two storey building with the umbrella on, those days i used to be the first to do shits I thought was normal.. so I jumped and that was the last thing I remembered.. how I survived is still a mystery to me.. anyway I’m alive sha.

So many of those foolish thing.
Remember the time I use to plant everything they gave to me as food, I plant my rice separately the fish, meat even the egg too and I will be checking everyday if its has germinate.
But the height of it is when I planted the hard currency gave to me by my uncle that just arrived from UK, when my mum ask me of the money I told her to wait till after 7th days lolz .
I don't know how many of us hear about the fare tales they share then around 90's that money grow on trees in United Kingdom so that's why I planted the money.

I was about 4 years old and had just gotten my first taste of sugarcane.

When we got home I went to the bathroom and, lo and behold, I saw some long sugarcane-colored bars lying on the floor.

Unknown to me, they were bars of washing soda.

Everyone knew something was wrong when I started dancing Zanku around the house in the 1990s.

The experience scarred me for years. In fact, I never ate sugarcane again until I got into the university
