Nop, he didn't start school at age 4 but he said primary school!

So, you have not seen someone that started primary school at age 4 and above

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

RTR

This is no big deal nah,my immediate elder brother and I started primary 1 at the age of 4

BigRocky:
Why is everyone here pretending as if is not possible?

I started way earlier

Don't FOOL or Deceive yourself, ok?. 😒😏

Even in this Private School Era, Nobody starts Primary School @4 years.

You start Kg 1 @2 years and get to Kg 3 @5years.

Now, you are even talking about the 80's.

This APC politician is a Horrible LIAR.😕

OlujobaSamuel:

Pry1 to 6 before js1

im surprised too cos my friends brother started primary school at 3 years old. 4 isnt too little or too much

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

I just calculated mine and guess what? I started at age 4 or even 3+ years. Nothing strange, the only thing is that most of your colleagues will be older than you are.

Much ado about nothing. Anything to make pigs masturbate

nothing is wrong with that my daughter is 12 and she is in ss1

Owaincouncil:
I smile in Japanese.
So he got to pry 1 at age 4, entered jss 1 at 9.
Well it is possible as I have seen such before.
The lady finished ss3 at 14.

I started primary school at the age of four too

And nomadic Fulani from the seat of the Caliphate, who came to limelight through a back door quota system plus massive rigging will be uproarring with them in the house.

I wish they could all first cast away the log in their eyes before attempting removing a spec from someone else's eye.

Some of them have been on that seat for twelve years without any meaningful contributions to the life of their constituents.

adioolayi:
But, what's the big deal here..is it not possible he actually started schooling at the age of 4

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! 😕

Akaegwu:
He may be right. I started at 5

what year

I was wondering too, its not strange at all.

Even the President that nominated him doesn't know his age, there is also the issue of discrepancy with him too, so we shouldn't be surprise...

So You didn't do KG 1,2 and 3 or What?😒😏

When I started primary school, there was nothing like kg or nursery.you start from primary 1.

At 11 I was already in jss1.
@16, I was already done with secondary school.

adioolayi:

Of course I have seen kids that started above age 4 but not below or at age 4. And let's be frank here, during those days as I heard, it will be very difficult at that age, because the use to see if your hand will reach your ear or something of such

It could happen. Sure.

Drsmiles:
Is it strange

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 didn't find it to be unusual. I entered into secondary school at the age of 10 and I know I wasn't the youngest student in that JSS1 set, I think there was an 8 year old, I know that double promotions were very rampant in the 90s I don't know of that is still the case.

I think some of us many Nigerians from urban areas especially in the south are ignorant of many things, some rural areas don't have access to all these kg 1,2,3 which is nothing less than a way for parents to get some rest while these hyper active 2 year olds are being pre-occupied.

Some of thes rural areas only have limited primary education which means kids start school at 1 once they can walk along with the other kids to school. I was already walking back home from school at primary 4 with a younger kid brother in tow such were the more innocent days even if we lived in a rather more opulent environment there was no fear of kidnapping of unaccompanied minors.

Akaegwu:
. I was born same year. My church, an Anglican church has a kindergarten class for children between 2 and 4 years. Based on your progress, they will recommend when you will start primary school. I started at 5 while my younger brother starts at 4.

Oh nice, for my area most of us home schooled or went to neighborhood lessons until we were old enough to be admitted to primary schools.

Nigerians and drama self, I
also started primary school at 4 even though I "almost grow bear bear" before I finally enter primary two lol , thanks to my mum that changed my school then I for marry and born pikin for primary two lol.

I clearly remember when my mistress wrote small letter "a" in letter writing on the board and I stood to ask her whether that was a tortoise, I did that intentionally though. She vexed and sent me out of the class when all the pupils burst into laughter. Then I went to call my dad who was a retired police that all the teachers were scared of then and she immediately let me in even before my dad could ask her any question.

All these and many more that I can still remember happened in primary one.

Pootle:


what year

I was born in 1980.

He could just have insisted he got double promotion for some classes. Finishing primary school at 9 is no longer a big deal.

The tale of your hand touching your ear is for the sixties and not even for the mid seventies talk less of eighties when the man was born.

Truth is, he did not defend himself well.

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!

Eyinola1:
What's uproar abt that? I started my primary school at the age of 4 too, finished secondary school at d age of 16

We are talking about 80's. It's likely not possible oga.
