My Experience at Mcss:- Maryland Comprehensive secondary school was my dream come through,even my mother was so happy I got into Mcss, it was my elder sister that came to register me, then she was teaching biology at ajao secondary, thank God she did not hand me over to any teacher. When I was in primary school I used to go there to wait for my landlord daughter that used to take me home, I loved going there to wait cause there are many white kids there then and her class mate and friend was a white girl then,their uniform was outstanding and the way they speak in English was so awesome, u see cars parked outside waiting for closing bell, the school was so discipline. Then it used to be Maryland primary school and st Francis primary school together then convent and st Agnes primary school together, if one set go to lmmaculate the other Mcss. I got into Mcss in 1992 repeated in 93 even became the class captain with Joseph Esiri, it was later taken from me because of my un seriousness and given to beautiful and intelligent Tope Ogunleye, my first experience of no teacher in d class was so exciting, come and see noise maker like me rejoicing.
I and Ayo use to disturb Elizabeth ustu alot in jss2 because she is quite, but on this faithful day she really got angry 😠 and held my uniform telling me that she will beat me, Ayo ran 🏃‍♀️ away and I was left on my own, no bi small thing that day ooo, wot an experience, 😂😂😂

Crushes:- hmm dem plenty, Senior Michael elder brother the half cast, Bola Denjowo, I crushed on Ayoola crusher femi Pedro, Theophilus, Esiri Joseph his baby face wen we were in js1, crushed on Dotun assistant head boys, crushed on head boy Gbenga and assistant head boy Gbenga both of them 97 set. Adewole Aderibigbe.

Memorable Moment in Mcss:-
I remember going to the back of school gate with my friends to buy yam,dodo and Akara( beans cake) and fish while Ayo will bring milk and milo to drink garri after school, Agnes our class mate mum was d one selling, when ever we meet her there selling for her mum, she will put enough fici for us, before then we would have gone to mutiat house in the morning to eat rice eshan,shaki and fuku chasing our self on d street over meat, including Rukayat, she stopped going with us when she became a prefect.
Remembered fighting with some immaculate boys one afternoon after school in Jss 3 at d back gate close to Mende they followed us into d school compound, me, ayoola,Funmi, mutiat and late taiwo Adedoyin. The deputy principal caught us and reported us to Mr Egbeyale, the beating no be here at all, but Funmilayo beating nah romance cain 😅🤣. I remember the match we had with the boys in Jss2 which I was the keeper, bad boys just they target my chest I kukuma dey run leave post once i see d ball coming, i even join dem dey shout it’s a goal, then I don’t wear bra, omo I left goal post for them to score.😜
I remember d letter I got from Soji (soj)in Jss1, i reported him to d commandant and he was punished and washed commandant toilet, fetch water for him and even cleared d grass at d back of our school i felt bad for reporting, he was my friend but the letter was bad, he didn’t finish with us he left in Jss.
I remember writing names of noise maker in Jss1 when d commandant ask me to write name of noise maker, my class mate will accuse me of liking Carlo Maggie and d poor boy do not talk or play in class but because of what was said i started writing his name and tripled it more than others,this continued for a weeks, the following week he was pulled out of our class to another class, i happy sey he go another class, because after commandant beat ham finish ehn nah so he go dey red. I and Ayo, bukky flying d fence and helping the guys to expand the hole of the fence at the back of js1 block,remembered drinking wine with kunle, adeolu, owolabi, Monday and some other Guy’s alone at d back of Jss 1 class nah Theo come there come force me go class with kunle, as we just left, Mr Egbeyale and Ademilokun round the place up omo men fly fence take off, assuming I didn’t leave with Theo and kunle when Theo came to call us, how I for take move, suspension straight ni oo, my mama for kill me. Thank you God for Theo and Kunle that day.
Oh yes Akin took I my self with Ayoola, Bukky,funmi,and mutiat to go hang with some of his friends at mende. I and my geng Ayoola Dare, Bukola Akindele, hanging out with some unilag guys at Onigbongbo, cruising around in their car to unilag, to their friend house from Mayflower, we were always frying eggs or chicken taking ice cream playing Mario city and some other PlayStation game, they drop Ayo and bukky off close to their home, Wole among them use to take create of eggs and chicken to Bukky, no bi small groove for my friend oooo. Haha the fight between Adeolu and Theo nko, Adeolu ran down stirs, Theo jumped from up down go blocked Adeolu, he won kill Adeolu that day, if not for the intervention of the other guys that held them, that guy get mind sha lol.

Hmm I will not forget when I got the highest score in English in ss2, it was Ehije that told me before i even saw it, I was so happy that I didn’t allow my mum rest.😜🤣🤣 , also will not forget the throwing of knockout in class rooms, Theo threw one in my class and Mr Egbeyale heard the banger sound and asked who threw it everybody kept quite, he said he was going to punish everybody still no one said a thing then he left, Bukky Bajulaiye Aproko kekere, went to Mr Egbeyale that it was Theo who threw the knockout, Mr Egbeyale flogged Theo, Theo came back and beat Bukky she went back to report to Mr Egbeyale, Mr Egbeyale beat Theo, again Theo came back to our class and beat her, she went again to report, Mr Egbeyale flogged and punished him, the bell rang, Mr Egbeyale released him with a warning, He went back to beat her again and told her, he will beat her every day she ran to call her elder brother in immaculate, he couldn’t talk again because most of his friends are in comprehensive, she didn’t come to school the following day which was Friday and brought her mum the following week on Monday morning to see Mr Egbeyale and plead on her behalf that was how the matter ended.
