1. Lining up all night to fetch one bucket of water, then chaining it under your spring bed only to discover the next morning that the water is gone.
You'll now be wondering how they .managed to take all the water from the chained bucket undecided

2. Waking up by 5am every morning by the shouts and slaps of those crazy seniors!!!

3. Going to devotion and being made to kneel in your white shorts for forgetting your hymn and bible!

Thank God we survived! Merry Christmas Everyone!

Mehn, FGC PH was like a penitentiary. Some moments made me wish for untimely death. Jss 1&2 was fun, jss3 - ss2 in senior dorm was hell. We lived like animals, combing the school compound till it was dark cause of fear of seniors. Senior ceifa dangana was like a demon, Obinna tout another demon.

from early morning jogging to night prep, the routine was hectic for us. It made me smart and able to live with people no matter the condition.

I remember when senior boys waited for me and ate my home made food on visiting day. I didn't even taste the food. Chaiiii. Seniors Agbede, Andy, ... e no fit better for una

We'll stand by the gate every afternoon watch ing the day students go home. That sight was painful. FGC PH, I rep that place any day. Shout out to all charity house students including Tonto Dike

Boarding school was fun. As part of the pioneers, I became a dinning hall perfect from JSS 2.

The issues we had were the Rev. Sisters. Those sisters can make a dull child intelligent just by flogging. Fear of the sisters was the beginning of wisdom.

Rev.Sister Pat and Rev. father Chris would always take a stroll at night into the darkest part of the school. I bet they enjoyed praying together in the dark: What did I know then. grin

Baptist Model High School Ijegun class of "99 .That place was an hell hole. Very Brutal.

But my greatest moment was catching two inmates ( I call them inmates coz that hostel was worse than a prison. Alcatraz or our very own kirikiri dey learn for where e dey) drilling themselves after lights out. Nobody told them to bribe me else I report them to the house patron. We struck a deal. Each day, they would both submit their lunch to me and give me provisions whenever I asked. I lived like a king hapilly ever after until they got fed up and dropped out of the school for good.

Shout out to my high school colleagues at BMHS Ijegun.

None of my kids would ever go to boarding school at a tender age, only from SS2 when they're matured to an extent.

Every bad thing you can think of goes in the hostel, from gays (all-boys) to lesbians (all girls) to intense bullying to robbery (those ones that open the back of locker and arrange it like nothing happened >sad) to Oppression (Woe betide you if your elder brother was wicked, it shall repayed in a hundred fold to you) to higher level of wickedness never imagined (esp that night ManUtd beat Chelsea in Champions League final 2008, we united fans including collateral damage saw the real devils sad ) etc.

How I managed from JS1-SS3 still marvels me grin grin, being flogged everyday after class was a normal thing, tying rope to cup in order to draw water from underground tank by 1am, fetching 6 gallons of water every morning (it won't last till night o!), picking all the pins every evening, fighting to get food for senior while the I.diot sleeps in the room etc.

If you're one of those seniors who found pleasure in making innocent junior boys suffer, people will oppress you the same way you did to those boys!

government college ado ekiti.

whenever u hear : LAST MAN!!! y'all start to run like mad cow...seniors were feared more than teachers

they will give you N20 to buy something worth 80 n must return N15 change...u dare not to go

after trekking to fed poly like many kilometers to fetch water...seniors will be in front of the hostels with their buckets, u must pour in each buckets before u pass

after fetching water..sumtims juniors spits n urinates in their water...so dat they can give seniors their urines

midnight beatings from seniors without doing anything

seniors will move round in dining hall to remove ur fish or meat when prayer is being offered for food..if u see them na hot slaps u go get

cooking illegally in the bush or hostels wardrobes

seniors will time you to toast babe for them

dodging the principal vehicle after sneaking outta school

soaking ur garri in water to make it swell for like 1hr

tearing ur CABIN biscuit from behind so that seniors n friends we think they r still intact

have your own escape skills whenever a senior wanna send u errands

u can't approach the principal directly...there r procedures u must follow...lol

as a junior student...u must not forget the almighty 501 BELT... official koboko from seniors, so many of them developed skills on how fast to remove their belts whenever they want to beat


I remembered a senior that tied a junior student D to d bunk...n d guy was unable to urinate the next day...he was later taken to a state specialist hospital.

I chopped heavy slaps from a senior one night, and my eyeballs turn inwards the next morning...I av to see the optician dat day.

if you don't have garri..all other provisions are useless...it's incomplete without garri

I remembered burying my head in a bucket of water one night...drinking as my life depends on it cos u was thirsty, only to realized bubbles coming out of my mouth whenever i talk or laugh...it was d next morning I discovered I drank water they've used to soak clothes...lol

the truth is dat boarding house can never be d same now, cos those days boarding students were older then but now we have smaller kids who still needs their parents closeness n care.

and also boarding schools reduces the closeness n affection of a child towards him/her parents, after boarding life...I don't even think there is any day I wanted to go home during my uni days, I've always bn used to being away from home..same with my bro n sis.

let me just stop here, it was fun tho....but u have the peak fun when u r in S.S.2 third term n S.S.3

I loved boarding school but I never attended. My parents especially my mum didn't allow me. Even when it was compulsory for students in the exam classes then to board, she came to school to explain their decision not to allow me board.
But I had to have a taste of it somehow. So, I started going to the hostel/dormitory. You would almost think I was a boarder. I was there ALL THE TIME! I would lie on their beds, eat with them, sleep there etc. It was so bad that on one of the days we had a paper during SSCE, we slept off in "our" corner. We woke up to discover that everyone had left the dorm and exam had commenced a long time ago.

Hmmmm. I knew ALL of them & their rooms/corners.I knew their routine and what each bell meant. I had so much fun.

Chai! It was crazy how much I loved boarding school. grin
