I can’t wait to ruin your childhood memories!!

Everyone waxes nostalgic when they remember their childhoods. If you had a bad childhood, don’t worry I’m about to ruin the ones of those that had good ones.

Growing up in Naija, we had some songs we’ve been singing since we were toddlers. We learnt these songs and joined the multitude that has been singing it wrong for ages.

Here are some songs that many Nigerians have been singing wrong since they were kids:

1. Sandalili Sandalili

Every primary school child from the 90’s knows this song. We sang it and we were proud. But did you know we’ve been singing it all wrong since time immemorial?

"The correct thing is Standard living, standard living".
I wonder how we made the jump from standard living to sandalili.

2. The most excellency is Jesus
This is another song many Christians sing. I bet you will hear this when you go to church on Sunday.
The correct wording is: "The most excellent king is Jesus".
Don’t worry, it is okay to cry...

3. Jangilova epo motor
This was another favourite of us when it comes to playing games. I wonder where we got Jangilova when it is:
"Jingle over like a motor"

4. Osingo Osingo, Praise the Lord
This song is actually “O sing my soul, praise the Lord”. But as Nigerians, we have invented our own version lol.

IF YOU ARE GUILTY; NO SHAME IN ADMITTING IT... LWKMD {sandalili}

4. THE OF AFRICA

CONFRATERNITY
AYE-AXEMEN

This cult was formed at the University of Benin in Benin City in 1976 by some young men with the motive of building a body to fight against the oppression against Blackman (Students) in the university. Those who initiated this association are rumoured to be runaways from of Africa, an organization in South Africa that fought the apartheid war and escape into Nigeria for safety. Investigation has shown that it was the borrowed notion that was imported to Nigeria.
Some of their beliefs and saying includes:

The Blackman will be freed with an axe
No f*ck ups
Forgiveness is a sin
Don’t betray your brother in the hood
Obey before complain or Abeyance
He who price must pay

3. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ADVENTURERS
SUPREME VIKINGS CONFRATERNITY (SVC)

ARO-MATES
Three young men formed this confraternity in 1982 (also known as de Norsemen Club of Nigeria) was founded by a former members of the Buccaneers at the University of Port Harcourt, with code-name namely:

Eric De Red
Troppence

It was also called victory COSSA presently the Alpha Marine patrols.

Blood on the high sea
Singing songs of Hojas
Never to hang a leg
Even in the face of death.

Members are referred to as: ”Aro-mates”, ”Adventurers”, ”Vultures”, e.t.c.

2. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SEALORDS
BUCANNER ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (BAN)
ALORA-SEALORDS

In 1972, a member of the Pyrates Confraternity, Bolaji Crew (Code-named “Late Ahoy Rica Ricardo” and others were indifferent to the teachings and doctrine of the confraternity and as such, before one could say Jack Robinson, the birth of a new cult group named Buccaneer emerged structuring it styles and hierarchical structure after the Pyrates. Different notorious cult groups had emerging without check from the concerned authority, unleashing terror on humanity and posterity.
Some beliefs and sayings:

No Price No Pay
No brothers in the wood
No laughing on board
Blood for blood
Let the devil that lead you guide you

They have other sayings, which are basically thereby to make new members feel they made the right choice in belonging to a fraternity with such high code of conduct and discipline.
Members are known as: ”Fine boys”, ”Ban Boys”, ”Alora”, ”Bucketmen”, ”Lords,” etc

1.AHOI-SEADOG
This cult group was the first identifiable cult group formed between 1952 and 1954 at the foremost Western University of Ibadan now University of Ibadan by seven persons namely: Ralph Opara, Ikhehare Aig-Imokhuede, Sylvanus Egbuchie, Nathaniel Oyelola, Pius Oleghe, Olumuyiwa Awe and Wole Soyinka. The pioneers of NAS were collectively known as “The Magnificent Seven”. It was headed by CAPON BLOOD. The aims was basically to combat the then increasing occurrence of violence caused by tribal groups during students’ activities, western influences and other secular gatherings, in ways suitable to the cult group but with the advent of time deviation of purpose manifested. Pyrates sayings and beliefs;

Odas is Odas
No Friend, No Foe (NFNF)
Absolute No Lagging (ANL)

Members are knowns as ”AHOI” or ”P-C”

For those of you who don’t know how the various cult groups came into being in tetiary institutions in Nigeria, here’s a brief to further broaden your spectrum.
Most of the publications I have read on the subject of cultism seem to agree that what is known as “secret cults” in tertiary institutions in Nigeria started when the Pyrates Confraternity was formed at the University college Ibadan (UCI) in 1953. The confraternity was formed by six students at UCI, namely, Wole Soyinka, Aig-Imoukhuede, Pius Olegbe, Ralph Opara, Nat Oyelola and Olumuyiwa Awe. The Society was formed for the following reasons among others:

To Abolish convention,
To revive the age of chivalry
To end tribalism and elitism.

There is no doubt that the intentions of the founders of Pyrates Confraternity were altruistic. They obviously did not set out to create the hydra-headed monster (or phenomenon) known as cultism in today’s terminology. But like a farmer clearing a bush in the harmattan and setting a fire to a heap of dry leaves, what started with a group of six has now become a chimeric underground movement, a tyrannical monster with many heads.
The list of the secret cults operating in our educational institutions looks like what you will find in the encyclopedia of any computer anti-virus software. At the count it was estimated that there are 44 cult groups operating in various campuses in Nigeria. This is probably an underestimate. It has also been estimated that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), University of Calabar (UNICAL), Univerisity of Benin (UNIBEN), University of Lagos (UNILAG), and the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (OAU) have not less than 16 cult groups operating in each of these campuses at any given time.

I don't support such irresponsible acts by lecturers, but most times "our female students" are just too careless.
They get themselves entangled with these lecturers in the first place. from all indications the lady in question is not new to the act.
Therefore I Don't Care...
According to one of my Professor here in Unical, when you keep showing 'it' around them, don't be surprise when they ask you for it.
May God help us all.

Buhari's Confesses:
“Whatever we did in the campaign, In fact, we were saying rubbish and that made it very difficult for us".

One year after he becamethe president of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari has said he wasstill shocked at how former President Goodlick Jonathan conceded defeat in the March 28, 2015 presidential elections and handed over the reins of power to him.The president said it was such an incredible development that a man who had occupied various political offices as a deputy governor, governor, Vice president and president could easily relinquish power to the opposition party.According to Buhari, Jonathan’s gesture had distinguished him as generous and gracious man.Buhari who gave the glowing tribute to his predecessor while hosting State House Correspondents to a luncheon at the New Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa on Monday wasoffering retrospective highlights of his early days in office after his inauguration.The luncheon however came on the heels of his first year in office.He said that the last one year had been “a tumultuous year for everyone in the villa.”He revealed that it was the singular congratulatory call Jonathan made to him that prompted him to visit the Villa in the company of former Head of State, Abdusalami Abubakar to theVilla for appreciation.He said: “I will talk about my experience here in Aso Villa.“I underrated the influence of the PDP for 16 years watching from outside as 8 consecutive governments. The experience of the staff, their commitment and zeal is different from what it is now. 16 years of development in the life of a developing nation is a long time.“When we came, there were 42 ministries. We cut it to 24. This is where I pay my respect to former President Goodluck Jonathan. This is actually a privileged information for you. He called me at a quarter past five in the evening. He said good evening Your Excellency, Sir and I said good evening. He said, I have called to congratulate you that Ihave conceded defeat. Of course, there was dead silence on my end because I did not expect it. I was shocked. I did not expect it because after 16 years, the man was a deputygovernor, governor, Vice President and was President for six years.“For him to have conceded defeat even before the result was announced by INEC, I think it was quite generous and gracious of him.File: Jonathan and Buhari“Abdulsalam recognized the generosity of Jonathan to concede defeat and said we should go and thank him immediately and that was the first time I came here.”The president stated that reducing the Ministries to 24 from 42 was the best decision to take in the face of the circumstances his government found himself.“We had to do it on our own we found out that government could not continue with 42 ministers and the paraphernalia of office. So, we cut it down to 24. We had to cut down half the number of permanent secretariesand then do some cross postings. The permanent secretaries that werethe for the past five to seven years the only thing that they know is how things were done in the previous years”, he said.What civil servants did to 2016 BudgetPresident Buhari however regretted that some civil servants within the budgetary system “padded” his first budget for the country.He said it was a “nasty experience” for him and his Ministers who spent sleepless nights putting the document together.He said: “Whatever we did in the campaign, In fact, we were saying rubbish and that made it very difficult for us. Things were even more difficult during the budget which you all know about.“For somebody like me, for the first time I heard what is called “padding”.I think we will recover by the fourth quarter of the year. What padding means especially for ministers who had implemented what padding contains. There were very serious development which I never knew about.“So, really it was a nasty experience for us. It was also a nasty experiencefor some of the ministers who were never in government. For them to sit down day and night to work. I saw them. Some of them literary lost weight because they were sleeping less and eating less. Working on every kobo to be spent.“Because we became a mono-economy of oil rich Nigeria, everybody relied on oil and forgot about solid minerals, agriculture, making and exploring things. We recently just found out that we are poor because we don’t have anything to fall back to. This is the condition we found ourselves and this change mantra had to go through hell up till yesterday”, he said.
