Awwww I am jamming in my office. My primary school education is Naija certified (I could send most of the songs!!! lol)

Myne said...

Those were the days, lol. I know almost all those songs, we used them to march in from assembly, lol.

I was surprised to see how many of these songs i could remember. Though i was singing the rivers in Africa one sometime last week. In the version i know Congo comes before Benue.
I bet children in other countries don't spend so much of their primary school life singing.

Adeoluwa - NBB said...

Nostalgia! i was smiling all through and remembering that I actually sang some of these songs some years back. I wonder what kids sing these days

These times were great in Naija.Learning those songs was getting us ready for days like these. When songs like 'home my home, iya ni wura iyebiye'come handy for the Naijas in diaspora.
labe igi orombo, nibe l'agbe nsere wa.Unfortunately, things have changed in Naija for the worse. Thanks to Pa. Awolowo for his visions, "FREE EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS" We all are the Beneficiaries.
