Not really. They usually just do mock classes and exams toward the end. Some schools start drilling you on what to expect in SS1 early on. Once you reach SS1, you can still change your mind. I personally explored all the options between JSS3 and SS1 before finally making my choice.

Okay, it appears some schools did that, even at that time, because I was in secondary school too in 1996. We didn't do that in my school and perhaps I was unaware if other schools around my locality did that or not. Thanks.

SpencerForbes:
Man... girl fights used to give me so much joy back then! 🤣🤣🤣 The clothes getting torn was just part of the package. So you guys actually chased people’s girlfriends and weren't even scared? 🤣🤣🤣

Your class was trouble. If I had to guess, I’d say you were in the Art class. 😏

Thought he said they were in JSS 3? The separation into Science, arts etc, Starts from SSS 1, or has it been changed?

The problem is that, the governor,
a nobody, that Akume picked from
oblivion and installed as governor, now
wants his benefactor to bow to him...


Akume has been blessed to bring each
and every governor since 2007 that he
completed his 2nd term, but cursed with
them betraying him on all occasions.


His own problem is greed. Once he installs
you, he wants you to share government
money to him.

In all you wrote, your last paragraph says it all. What else should a person like Akume ever want? For decades, we've not seen a governor performing like what Alia is doing in Benue state, but unfortunately, some jobless youths think it's best to go the Akume way—collect the money and share.

Mariangeles:
Donkwa

...or is it dankwa?🤔

Xx

When we were kids, we often used our church offering money to buy Donkwa and Coconut candy. There was also one called Alewa that tempted us quite a bit. We sin as kids because of these things no be small. Despite the allure of these sweet goodies, I still believe nothing can dethrone Kuli-kuli.

SpaceX:
They probably learn to cheat from tinubu, he has a virus that can infect you and then you start committing bad things

Na today Nigerians start cheat abi na today them born you? I never take that "our leaders" narrative seriously because I know our leaders do not emerge from Mars, Jupita or Spain. See one of our leaders here. You and I are one too.

Putinofrussia:
Talk is cheap.
VDM will defeat all the politicians in Nigeria including Obi before 1pm if elections were free and fair.

I am going to the moon tomorrow even USA and Russia cannot reach where I usually stay there.They are babies compared to my moon exploration which I am not ready to divulge.

NB:Dont want to dwell on her ignorant blasphemy.

Astral traveler, aye?

dawnomike:
I shake my head at some comments above me... We really have so many stup*d people in this space!!!

I only saw just one comment that was off before yours. So who are the many stup*d people you're referring to and what were their opinions, Sir?

The major reason most people consume gin these days is as a result of a sharp increase in the price of beer. I remember those days, with 1k in your pocket, you could sit comfortably with friends and leave for your homes feeling nice. Now , the sharpest way of getting high with little money, since most people can't afford beer, is to buy Gbefun or Striker. Beer is now for the rich or taken on special occasions.

How Many Of You Made This Mistake as a child.

HOW MANY OF YOU DID THIS.?

To me, let me just say 96% of us made this mistake as a child.

See coincidence o. I just looked at my little daughter's own mistake before opening this thread. Lol

dododawa1:
No,papi luwe is different.

Alright, thanks. Guess his programs weren't aired nationwide on NTA like the others of those days.

MamaFryo:
For those that were old enough between the mid 80s and the 90s, Lukuluku Bantashi was a well-known comedian in the Yoruba movie industry who flourished for a very long time through his own unique cast and brand identity that no one has beaten till today. Lukuluku Bantashi Awo-Erin, as he was popularly called, was one among the many notable actors in the Yoruba movie industry that their stars have sunk prematurely into the history.

Not much is known about Lukuluku's personal life, but his comedy brand was known far and wide across the western part of the country.

Lukuluku Bantashi was able to build his own stage identity from his own template, and his comedy brand reigned for decades while his comical style continues to be unmatched till this moment.

Lukuluku, during his time, ruled the comic scenes of the industry while the likes of Epo-Tin-Tin, Baba Suwe, Ajirebi, Godogbo, James Dẹ̀pẹ́, Dẹ̀jo Tunfulu, Larondo and others queued behind him.

Lukuluku was the most beautiful bride in the movie industry that all the movie producers sought his graceful appearance in their movies, there was no known popular movie at that time that he did not feature, and movie viewers always looked for his head in the posters or on the video cassette jackets. He was indeed a hot selling point that none of the movie producers at that time would want to jettison his appearance.

Lukuluku Bantashi was popular for his unique comical crying-style which could crack one's ribs to pieces. He always played 'an old fool' whilst his face was always painted in charcoal black. Lukuluku would always wear oversize unmatched cloth which could throw you out of balance at a mere sight of him.

Lukuluku Bantashi presented his artistic talents in many movies like Yemi My Lover, Ti Oluwa Nílẹ̀, Imulẹ̀ Ìfẹ́, Legal Wife, Ami Orun, Itunu and many other movies before his untimely death in 1995.

The entire South west of Nigeria was shaken to its foundation on the day Lukuluku's death was announced. Sun refused to shine and moon hid its glow.

All the radio and television stations rendered heart touching tributes to him. The entire Yoruba actor guild (ANTP) at that time was stirred up and all its members were thrown into absolute bereavement. The untimely death of Lukuluku Bantashi was seen by many among the co-artists as a irreplaceable lost, and the tribute upon tribute was rendered to honor him.

Alhaji Gboyega Lawal, a popular Ibàdàn ace broadcaster, tried to douse and bring people's mourning under control, he planned to prank Lukuluku's resurrection from death in one of his live program on Galaxy Television Ibàdàn on a weekend that followed.

He costumed Yinka Ayefele to look almost exactly like Lukuluku and brought him on his program known as ON ROSY. Yinka Ayefele truly delivered as a replica of Lukuluku that beautiful Saturday afternoon on live broadcast, and that provoked people anxiety.

Hundreds of thousands of over-excited people besieged the TV station and requested to see the resurrected Lukuluku face to face. Things went out of control and Alhaji Gboyega Lawal and Yinka Ayefele were nearly mobbed by the angry fans of Lukuluku Bantashi.

Lukuluku's death is twenty six years now and his replacement still cannot be identified. Like I had said earlier, not much is known about his personal life and family. Rumour had it that he left no child after him to blow the horn.

The vacuum that Lukuluku left behind is still there till the moment as many of us that knew him are still missing him so much.

May his soul continue to rest in peace

Was he the same man who was famously called Papi Luwe? Looks much like him.

stainlink:
Temptation is a constant thing. It is the determination not to fall into it that makes you a faithful person.

It is not easy (for both a man and woman) but it is possible.

"But it is poss...". Good, good, you're getting there. You're a great person.....but somehow, again, my point is... you shouldn't forget about one weird, sometimes disgusting but great and simple law - Do not judge.... I wish you never ever fall bro. Take care.

stainlink:
I have been married for 5 years and i can tell you that cheating is more expensive than being faithful.

Its stressful also and one can remain faithful if he wants to.

That's very impressive. But by "you can tell..." I hope you haven't...Anyways, my point isn't to make anyone confess. It's the temptation to cheat that I'm all about.

lightwind:
Can't they fight back, while they are trying to kidnap them

$

There was one short cartoon that year that illustrated the outcome of using martial art to fight modern art (gun). Try am see na.

stainlink:
Hmm.
It's a deal breaker for so many people.

I can take so many marital or relationship vices but not cheating

Are you a man? Are your married? If yes, for how long? If not, as faithful as you think you are now, get married first and pray never to fall.

IkeOnyia:
Highest form of deceit. Christian women forced to wear hijab by their Islamist abductors in a calculated and sponsored gimmick to distort the fact that there is an ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

Make Una stop all these nonsense sometimes and be human for a second. Irrespective of religion, are the women not humans?

Rapmoney:
1. Guava seeds cause appendicitis: The idea that guava seeds cause appendicitis is false. Appendicitis is primarily caused by infection or fecal obstruction of the appendix, and not directly from swallowing seeds. However, it is good to chew seeds properly, especially for fruits like guava, or pomegranates. Undigested seeds of some fruits may cause a blockage in the appendix, but cases are very rare. I had friends in primary school who never ate guava for the fear of appendicitis.

2. Large snakes keep diamonds: This is another myth we believed when growing up. Snakes, whether large or small do not keep diamonds. There is no relationship between flesh, bone and blood and diamonds which are minerals. Funny enough, some adults still believe this crap till date. If you believe that diamonds are found in snakes, you should also believe that crude oil is found in monkeys.

3. Heaven is in the skies and hell is underground: I do not want this post to be a religious debate so I will not delve into the existence of heaven and hell, but the mindset that heaven is located in the skies, while hell lies under our feet is as foolish as foolishness. These are abstract things that are not concrete. They are only in your mind subconsciously.

4. Witches and wizards fart on transformers to cause power outage: Whenever transformers exploded, they blamed old men and women in the area of suspected witchcraft. This was common in Old Bendel State (now Edo and Delta States). The truth is that majority of those transformers were old and fit to be discarded, but due to poor governance, corruption and lack of accountability, they were still put to use, and they were serving beyond their capacity. Area believe say nah winch mess for transformer, so transformer blow!

5. Taking Coke and mango is harmful: This is another myth and a stupid idea we believed as kids. There is no scientific fact to that, and nobody has been found to be harmed after taking Coke and mango. There is no scientific evidence that supports the claim. It is just a myth.

Extra;

~India defeated Nigeria 99-1, that's why they were banned from participating in the world cup- My friend, a graduate still believes this one.
~ Do not fetch water from the well at night- I don do this one tire.
~ Do not whistle at night.
~ If you jump over someones's head, they'll never grow tall again.
~ if you look backwards between your legs in a market, you'll see spirits- I tried picking a niddle once at central market in Kaduna that year, the person behind me gave me a hard knock. Perhaps he thought I wanted to confirm the rubbish or it was because I was adding to the the traffic in the market.

Baronthecelebri:
She use them shine , everybody be careful please

What if na carbon monoxide? That's the first thing that came to my mind.

TheStoriesOfMan:
Kobojunkie is a man oooo

That girl/boy is just confusing us on this forum. I thought he/she was a boy at first, then later she revealed herself to be a girl. Then lately, she admitted he/she is a boy. I'm thinking he/she is Bobrisky.

Host78:
When you check a girl's social media profile, don't look at what she posts.

This is the mistake most guys make just as the op made in this post.

The reason I say this is simple:

Most girls don't post anything incriminating on their profile.

Most girls don't even post anything at all on their profile except their pictures.

So, if you're looking at her profile, you're looking in the wrong place and won't find anything wrong.

Except for girls who are already bhadies. Those ones anyone can see them from a mile away.

What should you be checking?

Let me tell you: check her feeds. Yes, scroll through her Facebook feeds and reels, watch the kinds of videos she watches.

Open her tiktok, watch the kinds of videos she's watching.

This is important because these apps show you what you're agreeing with.

They show you the kind of ideology she have.

If she's a feminist and those ones who judge everything through feminism and trying to tell you, you can't do this or that, you'll see such videos popping up in her reels.

So before you think about marriage, get her comfortable and watch some videos together with her on her Facebook or tiktok account.

Don't let her skip some videos. Most girls will want to skip some videos that talk about things that will gas you up.

Let them all play. Watch for an hour or two and make your judgement.

This makes a whole lot of sense. I found out what Facebook does with reels. Una wey still de search, this point make sense.

This Madonna never gets old. Someone that has been singing since the early 80's. She be vampire ne?

Host78:
Personally, I'd say no.

Yes, the sales boy maybe acting on the fiance instructions, but honestly he's supposed to also use his head.

As a guy, you give her the money and if oga comes, you tell him. If him shout or becomes angry, you call the woman tell her incase of next time.

Also, I honestly don't think that oga/sales boy relationship is ordinary or the man no rate the wife to be at all.

What would be your reaction if this lady was your sister?

Well, I dislike entitled people to the core. If the story is real, for the girl to leave her house without common transport fare (probably to find out if her man was cheating) was a very stupid thing to do. You knew he wasn't picking and just assumed even if he wasn't around, someone would pay for you. What if the boy assumed she was just one of his bitches and treated her as such? 'Cause that's how hoes behave—always entitled and even aggressive about it. Besides, he acted based on his oga's orders.

Habbeyy:
Less than 3 years old returned from school? Wetin pikin wey suppose still dey suck he mama breast dey learn for school

If I talk say most schools na just business these days, some people go come for my head. What business does a child who doesn't know how to express him/herself has to do in school? Those days, we don know every-every before we enter school, but now if you talk 'pim'. Anyways......

Carot:
is it true anaconda and python can swallow human

Yes, I read one news article about an Indonesian woman swallowed by a python some time in 2018 (I mentioned the year so you won't say it's AI). I think it was posted here too on Nairaland. I can see you're still alive. You didn't let a snake into your room last night as I requested. Any more questions?

Carot:
if sb is sleeping, will it bite the person

Yes, it's possible. Some are aggressive, like the cobra. We have had cases of even the "gentle" and non-venomous python strangling humans unprovoked. Why not keep one in your room tonight so we can confirm tomorrow morning bro?

Carot:
are snakes aggressive

We fear them the same way they fear us. If given the chance, they strike or we kill. Equation balanced.

omoredia:
Yet one Fulani terrorist has still not yet been caught.

In that case we should let cultists go free. No problem, you're right.

Jestin:
The most useless confra in Nigeria

Non is useful. Actually, all are very useless.

Maj196:
Typical, we like celebrating mediocrity

Typical internet language; Mediocrity, gaslighting, hypocrisy, nepotism, etc. Is ABU not beautiful?

muyico:
!! Exodus 20!! Can I read read it for you?

This argument sef. Was it the same God who asked the same people of Isreal to look up to the image of a bronze serpent to receive healing after being bitten by snakes or a different God? Was it the same God that asked Solomon to build his temple with specific images of winged creatures, the same God whom you said never wants to see image at all, ordered for his temple to be adorned with images at all corners... This was after the commandments you're qouting. Or was that a different God? What about that guy Uzzah who was struck dead BY GOD for trying to stop the ark (an image) from derailing? Or the bones of the DEAD prophet Elisha performing miracles, bringing a dead soldier back to life? Jesus sef could command the blind to see, but he used spit and clay (objects) to perform that miracle. What about Peter's shadow and Paul's handkerchiefs? You see say you for just leave religious matter, face your front de waka de go, instead of confusing and contradicting yourself? Catholics don't pick one line to qoute like you just did. They studied and compiled the Bible before the breakup... You can see the attrocities SOME of these new age pastors are commiting by using one line quotes, can't you?

Ramanto:
Just to think of it, I killed exactly this kind of snake at our estate gate yesterday, and someone managed to make me feel guilty about it. I'll have to show this news to her.

Our hospitals can do better in saving lives

Feel guilty after killing a snake or.... I don't understand. I feel hurt when I see a snake and it escapes. I never let them leave or live.
