If you attended primary school in Nigeria, maybe the first year or so, then I don't even need to explain this.
Ali is a boy, Simbi is a girl...
Simbi - gotta love her! |
Look at that hair. I remember when my hair used to be like that. I grew up in Bauchi, and we called it 'Calabar', wonder it it was the same in other parts of Nigeria.
Other timeless classics include: Eze and Bread, Edet and his books, Chike and the river, the Drummer boy, etc
Thank you Macmillan books for the wonderful memories...
