Guys command was really great and full of exciting stories, from sneaking out to kwarf(kwararafa and farin gada just to buy kose and doya), to those safari trips to the orchad/school farm and stream. from sleeping on trees in the orchard to dodge friday pre-inspection work, to some of my homies (not mentioning names here) who go to toilet with biscuit wrappers and a whole lot.
wish we can get some present commandos still in school to give us gist about present day happenings. i know the bullying must have reduced considerably, students probably have gsm and internet in school etc. Please anyone knows the whereabouts of the following '91s biodun ajayi, kazeem adeleye, allen and franklin iwute, sunday chiejine, akinfe, Guys keep it up. --- On Tue, 26/8/08, Taiwo Akinosho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Taiwo Akinosho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Jos Commandos] School Tales...errata added..lol To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 26 August, 2008, 9:29 AM I totally agree. For those who never sneaked out, I feel they missed. And for those who never got caught, you also missed.. But Razaq u really sneaked out sha o. and that boy called Babafemi Ojo. talking of Babafemi, I will add him to the list as well if he is not yet there. I can picture all ye compulsive sneakers coming back right in the middle of night prep with your bag of goods in the bush somewhere. Then you work in with your head high like say na toilet una dey come from. The smell of kose and the straight face always gives them away. Ye, I must say it was all fun. Sure would have had a lot of interaction difficulties if not for Command. But trust me GSM is anoda level. Difficult to say if it is good or bad. For one, they might have less face-to-face meetings which is definitely bad for the confidence and also bad for learning to read body language. but, there imagination would compensate for it because they have to think of how to say things and judge peoples reactions by vision. They would be damn good chess players if you ask me. Whichever way, our seniors too would argue that things were much better in their time. I guess we are right from different perspectives.

He had an allergy to dust so he neither swept the floor nor pick paper during compound work, he would just say he's allergic to dust and he would be exempted.Until I entered CSSJ i never had malaria fever before. Until this particular attack, it was bad! I was rushed to the dispensary and then the staff nurse on duty took one look at me and i heard her say my condition was bad, i was scared stiff. Anyway, she asked if i was allergic to chloroquinne and I said NO, in my half conscious state, i told her only Victor Irene is allergic plus i wanted anything that would relieve me.So she gave me full dose of the drugs. I felt better almost instantly. The truth was that until that day i too didnt know i was allergic to Chloroquinne. I got to the hostel and then had a bath with cold water! To cut a long story short, nobody slept in FHH that nite and eventually i was rushed to rukuba the every next morning. ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL: Victor was also allergic to beans or akara or boiled eggs (one of these not so sure anymore) it used to give him heart burns. So as his main man, i got his share! So i never really got mad at him for the trauma i felt he caused, later, i spent a week in the library reading anything on allergy i laid my hands on!Victor, where u dey? u nearly delete me those days walai! ----- Original Message ---- From: Segun Obakeye <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> To: JosCommandos@ yahoogroups. com Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 6:55:52 PM Subject: Re: [Jos Commandos] School Tales...errata added..lol ODU!
