Your secondary school set probably wasn’t the worst set the school ever saw.

Seriously they told every set the exact same thing.

When it finally clicks that your parents wedding was in March but you were born June of the same year.

How manage?

Realising you might have low-key needed the cane your parents gave you growing up.

But not the time your mum broke stick on your back sha.

Realizing why your brother used to send you to buy sweet when his girlfriend from school came to visit.

Just thank God I can’t report you again.

You finally get why your mum used to say there is rice at home when you wanted to stop at Mr. Biggs.

Can’t be wasting money anyhow, please.

That writing WAEC really wasn’t the end of the world.

It’s not like you want to write it again sha.

That when your mum used to say she didn’t have money it was like she wasn’t lying.

Seriously do you know how much a bag of rice is?

That coming first in primary school doesn’t mean you’ll get first class in university.

Why didn’t they warn us.

It’s looking like you won’t marry that your primary school boyfriend after all.

Do you even remember his surname?

That at the end of the day this adulting thing is truly a scam.

Please, I miss primary two when my biggest worry was when I’ll start using biro.
