Yes, in my 13 years school imprisonment.

Hmmmn! That time when education was still in its rightful position in Nigeria, unlike now that it's been displaced with all sorts of sharp practices.

Hmmm...the good old times

Good old days

Easyincome24:
This book right here made our childhood days awesome.

Teachers then ensured we commit it to memory even if one couldn't pronounce or identify each word for word.

As I try to reminisce about this book. I could aptly see how our culture was portrayed in the book usually a one in a million for primary three pupils.

Our education standard was still something to reckon with back then.

Try to read between the lines, you will understand that a family is a unit that is very important in a community.

If a home fails to bring up their children uprightly, it's sure that the society will be wrecked.

Try to revisit all these books used way back in the 80's and 90's you will understand why values should be taught from homes before expecting teachers and government to emulate same.

My love for this book and the characters knows no bounds.

Share your experience Nairalanders.

.......This and many others.

The good ol' days when men were boys.
And women were girls.
And virginity was sweet.

Whaooo the good old days, From pic, I read, The God's are not to blame, Things fall apart, Eze goes to school, Chike and the River, Story my mother told me, College days of John Ojo, Echo of the dark, Without a silver spoon, etc

Our class read it, but that time I can not read.
Through out my primary and junior secondary days, my parents didn't buy any text book for me.
It was from SS1, I started Biology, physics and chemistry text book.
Village school no follow at all

I later read;
Things fall apart
The Gods are not to blame
Chike and the River
The wedlock of the Gods
Eze go to school

Wooow . I read it in year 1998 .

All I can tell you is that edet still live in Calabar. My son can testify to
the fact.

I read this book in the early 90s.
How time flies.
I wish I can turn back the hands of time.

And do what with it?

I did! How time flies....in a way, this thought us to stick to simple tenses when writing .

Back in the 80's

Though I was always reading from my friends because my parents couldn't afford them.

Having a nostalgic feeling right now. Read This book like mad.

Honestly I feel same way. I can still recite some of those passages. It was fun growing up then.
I don’t think they use these books anymore.

Nostalgia!!!

I read the book in 1993/1994. How time flies and boys are now men!!!
