THE MAYFLOWER EXPERIENCE

This is the gist.

My siblings(some) and i attended Mayflower School.
Often times, we get into discussion and we dwell on a number of issues....
here are a few things (in no particular order) that sends shivers down my spine and leaves my body filled with goose pimple each time i remember the good old days............

1.)Last Light Out: Only God knows who invented this practice.Regardless, its an occasion you dont wanna miss out on save you are low on cash.Indomine is often the delicacy for the night.
its not unconnected with the joy that comes with leaving school for home.hhmnn

2.)4-4-2: I still enjoy the formation save that i perhaps consume five times the ratio now.Chilled water going down with garri(4) groundnut(4) and sugar(2), it was a marvellous experience.Turned sour when my 'hommies' were expelled for visiting 442 arena

3)Community gathering: aww! Enjoyed it when baky makes beautiful speeches and when our Merry mayflower is not been inspected.when i get destracted, its either am looking at the female section or the squirrels playing on the tall tree in front of the female sitting arena

4)Dispensary: ayama! i recall with ease the not so clean water, the miserable cup and the drugs without diagnosis festival that takes place in the dispensary upon resumption. A good number of us were smart not to swallow them drugs sha.Talk about the long queue, na die. no clearance, no entry.

5)Morning Drill: Very interestin! retrospectively though. Never had fun been rudely woken up and been chased down like cows to Junior school field.Breath in, in and out.I never led the session.Recall accusations of boiz getting naughty during the session among other things

5)Candle Night:i can only rememnber having one outing.Memorable.

6)Water scarcity and locking of buckets under the bed.Wasnt a common experience but life was hellish during those times.Imagine fetching water all the way from uren river to the hostel.

7)'Ghana': with an unusual manner of pronouncing the name, 'Ghana' provided a good substitute for some of our meals, though at the risk of suspension.Even girls sef, dem dey show face for that yard. i remember the black nylon and the pepper.Still recall the smell.Inviting(then)

8)Morning Lesson: dont exactly know why but i enjoyed this part.Perhaps the oppurtuinty of coming close to the girls hostel.Really cant say why.If not for anything, we were exempted from morning drill

9)Interhouse sport:i can go on and on talking about interhouse sport. i was in ibadan house and i remember the dedicated service of mojeed melemuku.kaduna, green and abuja are some others i can remember.i particularly love the abuja(pink) vest.High moment is the d-day where we get to buy all sort of food items.Dont make the mistake of washing ur vest though, else some olojukokoro will keep it for u.

10)Social Night: this is where you get to see the Potential P-Squares.Interestingly, we can only boast of a music star in Gbenro-GT the guitar man.But mehn, i remember there were lots of swagger back then.from the OJ crazy to...........Baky often cancelled some nights for reading.

11)Election: This is the part i love most and will never forget in a hurry.I look back and appreciate the electoral syste we had.Students will campaign as if their life depended on it.the most interesting post is the Social prefect where the contestants will have to ginger their swagger.Mehn, i love this part about mayflower.

12)Speech Making: i didnt get to make one but it was fun to see my people get on the stage and see them consumed by the teeming crowd.Not much of experience here for me

13)Saturday inspection: the scrubbing, bed sheet contest and the result of the neatest/dirtiest hostel.Interesting

14)Suppi/Dubble: We had experts in the game of dubble.Eat and que to eat again.They were victims in aiyedun's hand though. Suppy? wasnt my calling.

15)Self reliance: Story plenty here o.Imagine, it got to a point guys will contribute and buy live chiken when wer were supposed to kill bush rabbit and all...I love this part too.Spending days outta the hostel in the farm/bush.

Just so much to talk about.whats your experience and what do u particularly miss the most?
