At the time of his birth its almost impossible to start school at that age cause of the law which states your hands must pass your head to touch the other shoulders. So clearly he is lying

He is not lying I am older than him and I and many of my contemporaries started primary school at 4, though the majority would have been 5yrs old. That law was in existence in the colonial era.

Starting primary school at 4 is nothing new.

Nearly everyone in my family started primary school at four. My immediate younger brother was barely 4 years our dad started him in primary achool

walezy14:
It is very possible. I started at age 5

I started at age 5 too

I started school at the age of 4 and I was born in the 80s, He might be right.

Which State are you From? 😏

Because the Educational System of your State is FAULTY.

Nigerian Basic Education scheme uses a 3-6-6 Formula.🤨🙂

Kindagarten Education is very NECESSARY!

6-3-3-4 in the 80's. There were no kindergarten then. You have nursery majorly.

I grew up in Edo state and I have been there all my life...

I actually started pry sch at 4 in 1990.

VinnyBaba:


Maybe in this Era!

Because some of our Desperate Private Schools can allow children Skip KG 1 or 2 or 3.

But in the 80's and 90's, NEVER! 😕

Never say never.

Na lie

casualobserver:


It is not strange, I started at 4 and entered secondary school at 10. Though many of my classmates were 1 yr ahead of me, I wasn’t the only one in my set who entered secondary school at 10 and therefore started at 4. In fact I know of 2 people who entered secondary school at 9.

I entered secondary school at age 11. It's possible

Larryndelaw:

It’s not even a question of possible, it is very normal.

They provide the gullible masses with endless drama series... While they are loading their accounys secretly with N70 Billion etc.

After this , it is RUBBER STAMPING all the way.

I was born in the 80s and when I calculated things I entered secondary school the September of the year I clocked 10 years, and I didn't get any double promotions.
When I look around at my friend's from then they all entered at the similar age which means they were all 9-10-11 years and I think the "school baby" that year was 8 years old.

Pootle:


what state and local govt

Imo State. Owerri. The state capital. I'm from owerri west based on new local government area.

They should allow the woman to rest

The Man is a LIAR!.

Or he should clarify things Properly.

Don't know why APC carries lot of Baggage Politicians in Governance.😒😕

Even in my State Delta, the APC Ministerial candidate
have same Educational Cheating scandals attached to her.

Dandat:

There was no touching of the ear law in the eighties.

I can confirm to you that it was not even there in the mid seventies.

You cannot be emphatic that he is lying.

He should be asked to present his Senior School Certificate now. What's the uproar about. His certificate will confirm whatever the doubt is. Abi e no finish secondary school ni?

https://leadership.ng/uproar-in-senate-as-benue-ministerial-nominee-says-he-started-primary-school-at-age-4/

Yet, he will pass the screening because they will laugh it over, he might even be asked to take a bow

Pls what’s funny here, I’m lost. What’s wrong with him started primary school at 4 cuz that was when I started school too o 4 yrs primary1 . I started secondary school at 12. I had a friend in secondary school then, she finished her secondary at 16yrs

He could have defended himself by saying he got double promotion at some stage.
That a candidate from your state has a moral baggage does not mean every candidate has.

People have always left school at unbelievable ages even in the eighties and nineties.

Goan Ask your Mother or Parents Questions.😕😏

Any child that passes through Normal Educational process
WITHOUT DOUBLE PROMOTION OR SKIPPING CLASS will get to Secondary school @11years old.

6-3-3-4 was introduced in the late 80s, I think in 1989 or even 1990 to be precised.

Somebody shout hallelujah

sketcherJ:
Hmmn am I the only one not getting it? He can’t start his primary school at the age of 4? Or maybe it was rare in the 80s?

The tale of you can’t start school unless your hand can touch the other hair or something? Lol

In the 80s you had to touch your left ear with your right hand across your head before you could be admitted into school. Except he was born with a deformity, a four year old cannot do that!

Yes, it was rare in the 80's. Not impossible though, just rare.

From his comment, he's still a kid 🧒. I heard of it, but didn't experience it. I represent the 1980. Was in primary at 5. My younger brother joined at 4 (A year later)

It started in 1973. Anyone born in the 80's knows this.
