Gone are those days though

oke2018:

justiniyke29:

I think you are right, with Ali and simbi.
Edet lives in calabar should be primary 2

Wakama and Kunle maybe primary 3 or 4

Malam gandoki lol still remember some of those stories

Yeah. Good old days

Nostalgia

The first of honesty (the fruit of honesty is God's blessings

Macmillan was the best textbook... For the fact that your younger ones can still use it after you've move to the next class...
But you gat use newspaper or calender take cover both first and back before you write your name.

Did you read:
Ifeanyi and Obi
The village boy
Akpan Akan-Utu
Ibe the cannon boy
Sweet mother ( the one that had Tesa has the little girl, whose mother was a blind beggar)
Mother's choice
Tunde on the run
Chaka the Zulu
King Solomon's mine

These are the ones I can recall, because I was very fond of them.

Then there was:
Second chance

abobote:

Leave that thing. That time at primary 4 5, I can not read, but now, my primary 2 sons can read very well

But the primary two children that can read now can not write SSCE and pass galantly without being registered at special centers where parents pay heavily to have their way in helping their empty-headed kids pass once. What's the essense of the education kids have these days, when they can't defend their University degrees?

Gosh, 1989 all over again! In 1991, it was Wakama and the great Gandoki!

Those old times were the most enjoyable times I ever experienced.. I read this books in 1995... Nolstgia really.

Read all

Wow...thanks boss...but I read about them in Primary 6 too...They (Emeka, Wakama) were in school and they killed a snake that was swallowing their school poultry eggs


quote author=Ikaosunwon post=112151239]


I think Emeka and Wakama was Primary 5[/quote]

Agbalagbi...

This is one of those books that you can't forget in a hurry

I read it in 1987........ Good old days

Yes I read it.

All these very local , good for nothing books that could never have prepared you for the trials and wickedness going on in this country. How to fetch water from the stream, taught girls how to gossip through gossip scenes in the books, how to play hair (chuku and thread (mtshew) ) was what some of these books was teaching Nigerian pupils who read them.
Mtsheww. * Long sigh *

P.s My school never recommended or asked us to buy such books, back in the day. Not even those Simbi goes to school , or is it Simi goes to school books that were widely known around schools.
I didn't miss out on anything, as far as I'm concerned... Lol.

Meanwhile, I was busy reading ' sleepover girls club 1,2,3 and more. My mates and I were busy reading; Hansel and Gretel, Wind In The Willows, The Meadows, Rapunzel, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs...and a few more interesting, knowledge-growing books for kids back then.

Yes
MacMillan books was the best back then.
Primary 2: Ali and simbi
Primary 3: Edet lives in Calabar
Primary 4: Agbo lives in the town of lagun , which is not far from Ibadan.
Primary 5: Odion and Wakama
Primary 6: Michael the boy's scout

2004? You are in primary 4?

I guess you are in JSS3 then, chief that's why you have to avoid some unnecessary argument.

Am already envisaging myself alongside my then colleagues shouting and opening those mouths widely in chanting MR SADA IS A FARMER before my English teacher Mrs Cole of ojo high school lagos.good old days.public education has gone to the dogs today.

Adonis86:
I can only remember the Edet that traveled from oron to ikot ekpene... Over 30 years ago and nothing was heard of him again. �

Weldon bros. How are the grandchildren? I hope they are currently with you for the holiday?

Sndfrank:
Read this book that year

Its strange how all of a sudden, you have so many questions that dont really gel together just by looking at this picture:
1. How is Mrs Nwosu "cooking" rice on a flat wooden table top?
2. Why on earth will she have fresh tomatoes touching a hot pot
3. Why is her daughter cutting fresh pineapple on a bare table top and not a cutting board?
4. Why would either of them allow Mary sweep with dust and all with an open pot of food and freshly cut pineapples nearby?
5. How is Mr Nwosu just bringing in live chickens and rice don done?

Questions.....Questions

adeniyi65:
