It is a little vague to me now but I think I can remember some stuff in those old readers

Remember Ali and Simbi?

Ali and Simbi were children of Mr and Mrs Salami.
Simbi had this sungass kind of hairstyle and lived in a room that had a wooden bed all alone.



Remember Edet?

I can still remember the lines: Edet lives in Calabar, he is eight years old. Every morning, he goes to school and in the afternoon, he stays at home. His father buys he books from the bookshop

Also this line: Today is Friday, today is Friday, Edet and his cousins are eating rice and chicken. Can you see...


Edet had an uncle called Bassey (if I'm right) this uncle took him to Ibadan in a very long travel with "911-gwongworo"

Edet's dad used to own a shop with a fridge that had this Fanta logo on it

I think Edet also had an aunt called Nene...was she the one that got married sometime?


Remember Gandoki?

Remember Nwakama?


What other events can you remember?

who lives in the town of lagoon whic is not far frm ibadan.

Isaactop9: who lives in the town of lagoon whic is not far frm ibadan.

Town of lagoon? which reader was that?

I remember Edet wanted to play ball on a bright day oo. But it started raining and so he could not. Sad.

I remember that Mr Sada is a farmer that lives in Sapele. He plants yams, corn, cassava (and milk-- i used to think....imagine!). He goes to church on sundays and at the end, they asked 'can you see the church in the picture?'.

I remember Nene used to sing so sweet when she washes her clothes down by the river side where the green grass grows. She used to call her playmates to join her in singing too *jobless girls*

And then, i remember Agbo......but i never knew the exact thing that he was doing in that book.

Simbi and Ali of cos, were always going to school. They NEVER told us how or whether they ever get home...* Renegades*

Down by the river side the green grass grows
There sit Nene, washing her clothes
She sings, she sings
She sings so sweet
She calls to her playmates in the streets
Playmates! playmates! wont you come for tea (****when our Nigeria was still good****)
Come next Sunday at half past three
....****NEPA take light here*****
Won't we have a lovely time at have past three

Who remembers,

This is the key to the Kingdom ***come and see***
In that kingdom, there is a city
In that city, there is a town
In that town......

****Who can go ahead****
