Abeg make I stop before my "aloo" too much. That's how much I miss you guys. EVERYBODY left an impression on my heart because I enjoyed myself big-time, you all contributed to who I am today, thank you so much.
For me it is a big thing. My family was into Odogbolu, my elder brother whom you all don’t know finished from Odogbolu too (a year before we entered) and sometimes we remind each other of Odogbolu and speak in ways that our kids and wives just watch and laugh with us. Some slangs were known in my house (my parents and everyone) would gather and watch me mock teachers and so on...
I will post a comment on the secret that kept me going while in school and why I was the way I was then.
Thank you so much, 4 real! Ama G (Gabu u), the originator of reverse naming, some of my codes are names written backwards, thanks to you. I miss you guys.

Thanks Uche... I couldn't help but reel in laughter. I read your post in a computer lab and the lady who sat by couldn't help but wander if all is well. I remebered some portion when I got home and simply broke out in torrrents of laughter.
We need people with your memory and outlook to keep this going.

Obiks man I respect you o, even I did not remember that I have made a child jump with my laughter and a friend jealous (she's not one of us). Kudos
E be like sey una forget Mr. Akintitan- a character that should have been on "awo renrin" but his brain and mathematics was too much of an asset.

Hi Obiks I think you left out Gbaing Epano (eating your provisions on the last night prior to holidays after starving yourself throughout the term - how pointlesss!)

Hats off to Jappy, we've been looking for baba Ruya for 17 years, so tey we won begin dey search kirikiri maximum. Aba 'RUYA nak me tory O'
Who remebers this rhymes we adopted in SS3 One goes like this
tribute to Olumide Salako:
baba Sala
wey wan Chopo Gala
dem beg make you take this asala
Sala come hala
say: haba! I no fit chop this asala
Olopele (house master)
Olopele go sapaele
to visit him wife wey get Bele
dem say make him chop Olele
Him say ah! this Olele na helele!
WHO REMEMBER "LEADER"
With reference to Obiks' comments (click on comments undre his aticle and read other related comments) No, that man for dispensary was not leader o! When I remember his name and some of his other crude escapades I will tell you all.
Leader na V.P. academics' messenger for admin block. The one wey fit admit student for school without Common Entrance!
Na the same leader for SS3 collect money from guys, come give us fake English exam expo, no questions, just 50 random A-E alphabets; i remember Kesh try stand for one corner dey try memorise the supposed answers "AAA-BABA-BAE-A-E.." kai man don suffer! all in the name of short-cut. Meanwhile Aboy-Chucksy just write the whole thing down for exam paper, no even bother read the question!
Other exploits of this Leader be say him dey help intercept letters wey dem write to parents when somebody don dey suspended.
Se una remember former deputy headboy Sola Somiyewo' famous quotes.
"One..two.. the TWO BOTH of you come here now"!
"Who are the four boys who ran into this class in 5 minutes time"?
And in reference to someone who was trying to dress cool:
"You puu(Put) one shane (Chain)
'ere (here) you puu one shane 'ere to tink (think) you are Naffy (Navy - actually he ment naval officer), You puu one shane 'ere You puu one shane 'ere you tink you are Raray"?
I hope say all the Boys wey dey visit "Charlie cool spot" don stop that kind of thing!
Meanwhile if I been yap you for "Pen Point" during our days in FEGO, I take this opportunity to say make una forgive me.
Kenny you no lie, na Emmanuel Okoro slap still dey disturb me.
Emmanuel Okoro slaaaapppp me, o boy for 2 minutes i know hear word because people come dey ask me sey, ah ah Obikudu, we dey shout run! run!! you no run why? I tell them sey dem dey lie, sey nobody call me but the truth be sey your brother ear freeze!
This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a
reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog
(well, almost...HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had to
say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
