GOOD OLD DAYS

EDET LIVES IN CALABAR

this is not edet lives in Calabar bros. This is Mr nwosu and his family preparing for Christmas

Reader 6 should be about Gandoki was a great war chief!!!

The funniest thing about the picture was that the woman was cooking rice without stove or gas, check the picture well.

We read it back then in primary 2 mr nwosu and his family during Christmas

tutudesz:

When chicken was cheap

I dey tell you

chukwuma0000:




I enjoyed it then.

Adulthood is humanity's greatest scam
Our Childhood was priceless

Ha how I wish I can go back to the good old days

chukwuma0000:
It's about 12years I read this book but couldn't remember any of the event that took place in this old novel.

Op you be small pikin oh... 12years?!

Well, The picture depicts Mr Nwosu, who bought two chickens for Christmas. Mrs Nwosu cooking [that's what the book said]. Ngozi sweeping and Edet slicing pineapple.
Edet later travelled to live with his Uncle [Uncle Bassey] who lives in Eket in Calabar.
He had an adventurous road trip where several passengers do tell stories.

OlujobaSamuel:

I think govt should enact a policy that will mandate schools to issue list of books only and not turn to book vendors, also publishers should be stopped from selling books directly to schools, they should go and drop it at a bookshop, while they just take sample copy to schools for marketing purposes only.
Nowadays, you can hardly see students of 3schools within the same area discuss about a particular text read in school just because the school wants to make extra money beyond tuition

God bless you. I don't think private schools are well regulated. A lot of them are just business centers hiding under the covers of private schools.

Primary 3 and 4

we did not use it during our primary school days.

Hmmm.... I know that nostalgia feeling. But you can't.
However, you can create one by doing some of those things you did in the past once in a while.

This is primary 3 Reader..it's not a novel.

Edet or Ali and simbi on Christmas day. Their father bought chicken to celebrate it.

Mehn...this takes me down memory lane and reminds me of my pry 3 teacher, Mr. Ibikunle. Very tall and grumpy old.
I remember, on one of our reading days, I just looked away for a sec and he threw a wooden duster at me and the thing hit me on the fore head. .

Modified:
Wait o. If like many claimed, this is actually Ali and simbi, how come their father is Igbo? Is Ali an igbo name? Or even simbi? That is not Mr Nwosu . I think it should be Mr Dada or something. .

When Nigeria was still modest. You eat and are satisfied.

I read this book 35 years ago. How time flies. My parents couldn't afford to buy me one then, so I had to pair with someone in class during English Language learning period.

Primary 2.. I still remember it liked it was yesterday

Edet lives in Calabar he is 8 years-old every morning he goes to school but in the Afternoon he stays at home. He likes to read, his mother buys him books from the book Shop

This brings back childhood memories. Life was simple and fun. Nigeria was safe.
I used New Oxford English Course (NOEC) though so I didn't get to read this in school.
This should be Macmillan Primary English Course 3/4. So I guess primary 3/4 for those who used it. I eventually read it anyway. I was addicted to books so I read everything that crossed my path: Novels, textbooks, Newspapers, magazines, Bible etc.

Same here, my school used Oxford English Course, I never got to read these popular Macmillan stories. Tho I hear my elder siblings talk about them and it's all fun.

I read this 2004....hummm

This should be primary 3 Macmillan English, I believe this is a breakaway story from the main character Edet.

I was in Primary 4 then. That was when education in Nigeria had qualitative and sound value. By that time, if your hand does not cross your head to tourch your ear, you will not be admitted. Not now that you will see children with pampas going to school. I am proud to be a product of primary school.

Taking me down memory lane. But the one we read at primary school dated further back than 12 years. It's 'Day-by-Day English Course' for Primary Schools. That was in the '80s and I still remember names of characters in the book (Obi and Ada; Joseph and Rose, etc.)

Christmas is coming the chicks atre getting fat just put a kobo in the old mans hat come and eat said mother the food is ready

This is Mr Nwosu na. I was in primary 2 that year

I don't remember. I just know that life wasn't that hard then

jidxin:
Christmas is coming the chicks atre getting fat just put a kobo in the old mans hat come and eat said mother the food is ready

the geese are getting fat, not the chicks. But you try sha

This is Mr Nwosu na on Christmas day

I think there's a poem before or after the comprehension that goes like this ;
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat, please put a kobo in the old man' hat.

primary 3 or 4. I was 7 or 8 yrs old
