Did u school in kwara state?.....quote author=Magnifik18 post=63597256]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

LWKMD. this life sef. well I understand u guys are living in luxury now. It wasn't like that in the 80s and 90s. I don't even know where to start from. on one occasion we were even ordered to go dig a grave for an abandoned corpse at the burial ground near the school area. during night prep. we also had to evacuate a filled soakaway pit with our buckets. the Marist brothers were rather crude in their method. wells intentioned though. by the way, I'm of the 1994 set.
Lol. Well a lot has changed since your time. In my own time, no form of punishment whatsoever, both from the senior students or teacher. No difficult manual labour. In fact these days they train you to be lazy.

O yes. we get stories of the life of luxury there now. a few of my classmates have their kids there. We also get to meet the millennials at alumni meetings.
MCA was a labour camp in our time. we practically built the school ourselves. The feeding was TERRIBLE. The Marist brothers could afford to do that then because they had the monopoly of quality education in Eastern Nigeria. its no longer the case now. plenty good schools have sprung up. some of my contemporaries still bear grudges against the school.
But I still believe they meant well.

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
I just wish....



but you still tasted it nevertheless!! how I wish you slept just for night!! it's never complete without the lights out!! that's when terrible things happen!

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


My classmate OJo Phillip, U killed it. Remember those days of exiting school through abet without exat from Chief Boarding House Master. I rep ESGC Ado-Ekiti
