Those books were the best, man! I learnt reading with Ralia, the sugar girl. Then after, I read every book I came across. I read the Dark Child by C. M Laye in primary school. King Solomon's Mines is one book I'll never forget. If there is anyway I'd get it, someone, please, tell me.

But all sha, I thank my mom. God bless her. She showed me all. Btw, I'm just 19. Not everyone of this generation isn't sound.

I'm equally searching for King Solomon's Mine too, don't know if u read Tom Sawyer? I read King Solomon's Mine when u were btw 7 & 8yrs old. It's good u could share our memories with us @ 19. Nice one bro.

Ure Chokwe in Witout a silver spoon,Ralia the sugar girl,Eze goes to skool,The passport of mallam ilia,Bottled leopard. etc etc..Feeling sooo nostalgic...Those days wen one had litttle troubles in life (sighs!)

Olorunsogo,
the pacesetters and trumpeters sëries,
eru o bodo,
etcetera.Gone are d days!

Ijapa ti roko

Iyawo Alarede

Those novels were bomb too

ijapa ti roko..Oko yannibo lol, it was yoruba but Mr Adekola made me understand dem

am crying now. remembering those books brought lots of memories to me. i spent my pockt money on novels. i read any novel i could get my hands on. infact there was hardly any of such novels i did not read. i paid the price though in my 1994 waec. i got an A in english and literature,but Ps in other subjects. 17years after my graduation from the university, am still struggling to become a lawyer, because i dont want the distinction i got in literature to go wasted.
