In senior secondary school, I was called "Ozil". They said it was because I walked too fast.

Now in Uni, my friends call me "Boress".
Reason: I walk faster than my height....lol
I 'm a 5'2.

But no be my fault that I walk very fast, I learnt it from my dad.
Back in the days, he always took me to school. Since my dad is very tall and had long legs, I find it hard matching his pace. I always have to run or jog to keep up with him. Since then till now, it 's still part of me.
Some people would see me walking and would be wondering where the hell I 'm rushing to.

Got it from a Yoruba Literature Text back in JS2 or so. Ajuwon High School memories was bliss...

I was in Jss 2 back then in gdss ilorin when Agric teacher ask me to name the micro organism I know . Immediately I stood up and mentioned "Bacteria" since that day my classmates have been calling me bacteria up till now though I have been rejecting it oooooo cus the thing pain me like mad

Chidimba:
Mine started way back in pre nursery or primary school. My school proprietress was yoruba and she always pronounces my name Shidi (in stead of Chidi). So any time my mum comes around to ask after me she will say 'Shidi is OK'. My class mates heard and tot she said Shidi so ke. In yoruba it means open your yansh. My people na so the name follow me all through primary and secondary school.

This is quite funny, any Igbo guy with the name 'Chidioke' in my area then always ends up with the Yoruba version of 'shidi so ke'.

I was called brostitude

Because people pay you to service you

chariisGRACE:
I was given 3 minutes

The reason was because:

Back then in GCDC, PH, we were taking a test of which I was the first to finish the test.

On submitting the answer sheet, I went back to my sit, brought out my notebook from my school bag to check if the answers I gave were correct.

After checking them, on returning the notebook, the teacher saw me, and he asked me to come out and kneel down (he taught that I was returning my 'intel chip') after which 6 strokes landed on my back with instructions that I must rewrite the test.

Lemme quote him.

"Go back to your sit, tear out a sheet of paper. I give you 3 MINUTES to submit..."

From that day...

How about you, how did it start?

I was called China , they gave me that name because they said anywhere China phone dey , they must no through it voice, I always dey stubborn, and I dey patrol classes then in secondary school, still bear the name till now

Iron man

Primary School i was called Giwa Amu - thr proprietress was trying to explain something to a parent in Anger and instead of mentioning my name Gbubemi she said Giwa Amu. Horrendous 3 years for me.

When i got to FGC Warri i was called Scotty because i looked like the wrestler then.


Uni till date i had to shorten my name to Bemi.......

So when my primary school folks see me they call me Giwa Amu

Secondary school folks call me Scotty


Uni and every other calls me Bemi
