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.

When I was like 8yrs old, there is this our neighbour that is in her 30's that I was crushing on.

One day I had the chance to sleep in her room cos my parents travelled and I was scared to sleep alone. At night, when she had slept, I tried to drag up her skirt so I could see her private part.

When we were kids, we did plenty of crazy things, and honestly, na only God dey save us that time. I remember one time, one neighbor dey gist us about him cousin wey wan do "big boy" by sliding down staircase railing. E no even reach halfway before him leg miss, and gbam, him break him hand. Till today, the guy dey talk say the bone no heal well, and him no fit straighten the hand proper.

As for me, I get my own story wey I no go ever forget. That day, we dey play hide and seek for my compound. I dey reason where I go hide wey nobody go find me. Na so my eye see the water tank for our backyard. I climb am sharp-sharp, thinking say I don win the game. As I dey look around from the tank, I con see one mango tree wey dey near. My mind just tell me say, "Guy, jump go that tree, hold the branch, you go look like superhero."

Without thinking twice, I balance myself, gather small momentum, and jump. My guy, I no even reach the branch at all! I just dey fly for air like paper, and na so I land for ground with one loud gbosa. For like two minutes, I no fit breathe. My friends wey dey play with me rush come, dey shake me, dey shout my name, "You dey okay?!"

After small time, I stand up. My body dey pain me well, scratches full my leg and hand, but thank God say I no break anything. Till today, I dey ask myself, "Wetin for happen if I land for my head or jam something sharp for ground?"

The truth be say, the kind nonsense things we do as kids, na grace keep us alive. If person think am now, you go just thank God say nothing bad happen.

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

This is just some things I did in school grin

Back in school, we stole a goat from the school farm, we couldn't roast it cos the smoke will raise alarm, we thought we could use shaving stick to remove the hairs so we tried but it wasn't easy, we decided to put the goat in a bag and go out to cook it in our friends house, we were caught and I received the biggest flogging I have ever received in my life, 76 strokes of the cain and that is after I did some severe punishment like pick pin for some minutes.
I got sick and couldn't come to class through out that week.

There was another day we were having sex party in school chapel hall, there was empty room which we normally do the do while I was in SS3, I really don't know how but we got caught and suspended for 3weeks, I couldn't tell my parents sha.
School was fun o.

Then I left that school and went to one private school, my only time of going to principal office was that we (the entire class) refused to bring our practical specimen and the teacher reported us, we got flogged
You really had fun as a kid but that aunty's wen you remove her skirt story you never complete the story lol.what now happened?

To impress a girl and get her some cashew, I climbed a cashew tree and fell from there. I broke my leg and lied I got hurt while playing ball. My primary school uniform was as clean as a state and yet, I claimed I played ball on that day. I told my father the truth years after and he laughed and said he knew I lied then. I was simping from my mama belle but thank God for his salvation. If I simp again now, it means I'm irreedemable and may God forbid.

I guess the quest for an heir overtook him. These things happen in our African tradition. Can't really blame him for wanting a male child. Moreover, the triplet pregnancy wasn't his design or wish. Life just happened. The woman died, and he took his life

I remember when we went to search for a goat in a small forest. Suddenly, we spotted an Iroko tree, and when we looked up at it, it seemed like it might fall and crush us. It was quite a rush when everyone started to run. Then, in the early '90s, there was this Bible and key method used to determine if someone was lying. They would place the key in a specific chapter and verse, read it aloud, and the key would turn. It was pretty unsettling!
