my own, I no fit remember.. i grew up to having a big X marked on my face and i asked what happened. only to be told when i was around 2 to 3 years old i fell from a big box and my face hit a sharp stone, they had to sew at the hospital and I've been living with this big mark on my face since then.
another one was when i was supposed to go to the beach with my cuz and 2 other friends. I reluctantly informed them i won't go, only to later hear from my cuz when he returned that our friend drowned. I was around 12 by then.

I SWALLOWED A FULL BUNCH OF KEYS

up till this day, I've been wondering how this was possible without having any damaging effect to my stomach or body.

Yes. I was around 4 or 5 yrs old at the time I swallowed a full bunch of keys. Nothing less than about 10 different keys in a bunch with a key holder.

Here's how it happened. I was lying down face upwards playing with the keys in my mouth when I accidentally gulped them; the whole damn keys. I was alone, so no one saw it happen. I was scared as he'll to tell my mom, she would have freaked the hell out and probably given me a whopping of my life (the main reason why I didn't tell her grin)

Later that evening she was looking for the keys and asked me if I saw them and I said no, knowing fully well they were being warmed up in my stomach grin. She finally assumed she had misplaced them.

Fast forward to when I became an adult, I would tell my friends and none would belive me. It was strange to me how nothing bad happened to me. I sha thank God
wtf u don comot the keys from ur body

A very hefty guy who is my step mother's in-law paid our family a visit of a week plus.

One evening, we went to the Palm plantation to do broom. On the farm he beat my younger sister and I felt very bad.

This guy, Even if you combined my stature and strength 3times there was no way I could beat him but, I was bent on retaliating so I started devising my plan onwards.

On the road to the farm we went were remnants of the tough sticks of the leafs our goats had eaten.

When we started coming home from the farm, I took the back position, the guy was in-between me and my sister and other kids were in the front and my beloved sister was still weeping profusely.

Enroute home, I secretlyb plucked some canes, Stubborn grass (sida acuta) and shoved them in my pants at the line at my back.

As we don near home (when I knew that people would easily come to rescue me), I started lashing this Goliath strokes....when the canes I pluked broke away I speedily picked the remnant sticks from the goat feeds aahhh! these ones delivered my anger very well unto his back... immediately they sticks finished, that was when people knew and ran to separate us.

I dealt with him, he cried like my sister did!
My mom and sisters reprimanded me in the family eyes but they praised me and Called me champion in when they called me in!

I Remember when we went to look for a Goat inside a mini forest.
Suddenly we saw one Iroko Tree and we looked up at it, it seem as if it wanted to fall and compress us.
See Race when everybody pick ehn. embarassed cheesy

Then in the early 90's, there was this Bible and Key turn Stuff which was used to tell if a Person is Lying or not.
It's like they put the Key in a particular Chapter and Verse and read it aloud and the Key would TURN. shocked

Quite SCARY! embarassed embarassed
That "Bible and key" one kaii...long story short, when I was in Command primary school, I was 10 ....some stup.id gurl ( she's now owns her own law firm) got angry that she failed maths and tore the primary 6 certificate mock result chat that was pasted by our teacher in the class. One early morning just a day after she arrived earlier than everyone and tore down the result then sneaked out....so when those of us who came after saw it we went to congregate there and wondering what happened, na so Mr Egunjobi our class teacher then came and took all of us in the class to the headmaster...won't even listen to our story, meanwhile Ngozi was there the real culprit looking very innocent. Headmaster flogged shege out of us ( boys in the bum and girls their palms) , he was not done so he put us all to the school garden to cut and till the soil for a week .
It was at this point that Isa the catholic chaplains son from another class suggested this "key and bible" stunt oπŸ™„
On the day we agreed to meet at a rendezvous to carry out the "experiment" Ngozi suddenly "took ill" and never showed up at school. We consulted our guy Isa who said another lady in the class can represent Ngozi after we have all gone round saying " if its me that tore this result, let the Bible spin round " Armed with a Bible, a key and a scarf...we did o and the result severally proved it was Ngozi.
This also was the beginning of another ordeal that almost got us all suspended from the school because we happily told our teacher who went to report that we had resorted to practicing witchcraft and desicrating the Holy bible....see ehnn....we had to each bring our parents to school o...it was such a difficult conversation, see as each of us dey receive stray knocks on our heads by parents and other teachers...
God abeg o...I still get some chills thinking about that experience...e come be like say na we betray Christ pass Judah sef.
We still discuss that incident in our family and it was only after many years that my parents believed that we acted on Isa's prompting...Isa threw us under the bus and most of our parents knew his Dad as the military chaplain then so did not believe he could come up with such ingenious plan....

We just have this loving God to thank for saving us o.
Long ago when we still had the Lagos Bar beach and I went for a good time
You know how we do it nah, playing at the bank of the sea while your legs are touching the ground. You float and all that and whenever the wave is coming,you either bend down forward for the wave to go past you if it's a bit big or you stand or throw yourself up a bit for the wave to bring you out.
But this time,there were other kids and young people playing and this big wave came...na so I bent down and dodged it by all of a sudden,I realised my feet were no longer touching the ground! The big wave kind of push me in on its way back!
I realised I had gone far too inside the back ..I didn't know the people around me were a bit far behind.
I saw myself struggling to find my footing while "going!"
As God would have it, another bigger wave came about and that one pushed me out,omoh,I jejely waka comot from water and went to sit down nearby thinking about what just happened.
Meanwhile the other people were still playing,they didn't know guy man almost waka o...😁

I jejely cleaned up and quietly left.

I was about 4 to 5 years or so. Can't really recall, used to be a very staunch lover of Coca Cola. One day, Momsy left me all by myself and went to the market.

Omo, na so I carry half a small Coke bottle of Kerosene drink o. Fortunately, my elder sister came back early from her friend's house where she went to play and met me almost going unconscious as I could no more understand my feeling. I was practically passing out.

Confused, she asked me what happened to me, and I pointed at the small glass of Kerosene. Then she asked if I drank it. I answered affirmatively by nodding my head.


Omo see as she screamed until all our neighbors rushed to our house to check out what's happening. She informed bro Paul naso him and him wife carry one big bowl of palm oil, forced my mouth opened, and emptied it all inside oh.

I am yet to come to terms with how I threw up that day.

Thank God for life. grin grin angry

Another one,in Benin city,I think it was Christmas period cos it was knockouts and bangers everywhere. In Benin those those days,we used to improvise this local knockout with some wood,small pipe we call spoke 😁 and plastic rubber. We would remove the black,is it carbon now or what,we would remove it from the matchstick and put it inside the small pipe and somehow just shoot it.
That day,as mischievous kids nah,I sucked some fuel from my dad's car (can't remember what for) then thereafter this boy blew his banger close to my face,oboy,it literarily ignited the combustible air I was breathing out and I felt this slight heat and burn down from my nose to my inside throat!

Thank God the pms wasn't fresh in my mouth

We were worse than Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn as kids. I threw a stone and broke a woman's windscreen out of wickedness. I saw it as fun. We did bad things in the hostel during my secondary school days in Ijebu Ode. Some guys in the hostel actually stole a pig from a farm in the area, roasted it and ate it. Everything was done in the night in a bush behind the hostel. Boarders Night of wickedness of the highest order.

I was 5 or 6

After a heavy downpour, a refuse pit that was dug behind our house was full to the brim.
I came outside and met my cousins dipping sticks into the pit and forcing down refuse or frogs which would float back up.
Sounded like fun so I joined but with a short stick. As I tried to reach for a dip, " tuboom" I tumbled into the pit.
But God said it wasn't and still isn't my time yet. I was rushed out by an uncle and I had to throw up the worst smelly stuffs in my life and maggots running out my nose.

For some reasons,I so much love this panla fish mostly sold by these sexy egun ladies in Lagos..😁

I love eating it with their ewa agoyin or in draw soups like ila...

Ila is my favourite soup and I was having a nice meal of Eba with the ila garnished with better panla and before I could say jack,na so on of the plenty panla bone got stuck seriously in my throat.
It was so bad,I couldn't suck it out or push it down and whenever I tried some swallows,it would split it in two.

I said,see wahala ooo...that moment,one Benin epa showed up and told me to cut big ebavand swallow,that it would push it down...I did so and guy,it worked but the edge of the egungun was kinda tearing my guts on it's way down.

Kids love playing rough play and we thank God that as kids we didn't sustain serious injuries like some kids who sustained.

A friend of mine was telling me of his friend who sustained serious neck injuries as a kid when he wanted to throw acrobatic.
He said till today the guy now as adult can't move his neck freely.

As a kid there was a day I was playing with two of my friends and the ball we were playing with got stuck in the ceiling.

I was like there will be many balls in that ceiling and if I can climb into the ceiling, I will be able to get alot of footballs to play with that got stuck at the ceiling from other people.

That is how I climbed the ceiling and was throwing all balls down and the first two rooms in the roof I passed the ceiling were made of plywood until I got to the third room which was my grandmother's room which was made of asbestos, and I fell into the room .
I had to climb back as it was a Sunday.
When my grand mum came back she shouted that thieves have broken into the house but those my two friends told her that it was me that did it.

Till today I still ask what if I was electrocuted in the ceiling?

It's just God that saved most of us when we were kids.


My cousin daring me to take a metal rod and touching a Nepa meter. I got shocked it wasn’t funny.

During Summer break jumping onto an empty trailer tractor on a dare and emptying 2 100L plastic cans of water in it so we could sell it to plastic melters company for money.

Was a passenger in a vehicle when someone carry 12 crates of empty bottle suddenly crossed the road. The driver hit him , the car jumped the gutter and headed straight into a nearby house. The guy back smashed our windshield and we kids at the back were saved only by the fact that we had our safety belts on. Never told a soul till today.

As a kid growing up we left school in grooves . Along the way we decided to head to Iju water works . They used to have a man made pond. On a dare , I decided to jump in from the deepest part. The problem was I couldn’t swim . I flapped my hands but the water pressure was too much tried kicking my legs for boyancy but it felt heavy as I though it was the end , one dude TAJUDEEN Pulled me up . That was the last time I went swimming. Even as an adult, I dont swim without a safety vest. Even if Halle Berry is naked and swimming alongside me I would give a hoot!.
Wherever you are TAJU - thanks for saving my life.

It's just God that saved most of us when we were kids.

I have many stories like this and I should be dead many times a long time ago. And that's why I am not scared of death because even if I die now, I died late.

Let me give you just one

When I was a kid maybe about 7 years old, I was chasing grasshopper (this is in the village) and there was this foundation they just dug to build a house.

The grasshopper fell inside the foundation. So, I have to jump down the foundation, probably about 4 feet deep.

Unknown to me there was a broken bottle with its teeth facing right up. I jumped and landed one of my legs on the broken bottle. Initially I didn't feel any pain but within few seconds the pain came, then I tried to pull out the bottle and it refused to come out. I tried again and was able to pull it out. By then, blood was flowing like water. But that's just the best part.

Now, instead of going to our house to inform my mom, I began using green leaves to see whether I can treat myself. I was scared to go home because of fear that my mom would beat me.

I couldn't tell anyone.

It was after my mom noticed my walking steps in the evening that she asked me why I was walking that way. That's when I told her.

She then took me to a chemist store where I was given an injection. I think they called the medicine then TCP or something like that.

Children take dangerous risks that their parents are not aware of.
