I left my secondary school, Lagos Anglican Girls Grammar School, in 1997. Thirteen years later, I was back there...to talk to the students and give them free copies of my book.
I want to (eventually) embark on a motivational/book tour of secondary schools in Nigeria, and decided to start with my alma mater. It was a great experience.

My, how things change:) Linda, do you remember when Mrs Labode and Mrs Akinto suspended a group of us for taking pictures on the school premises indefinately...girl, I still crack up til this day when I remember that day..It was you, me, Affiong, Rosalyn and chinwe. That school was very strict back then and thank God for it beacuse the really made us what we are...
hi linda. its chinedu ochonogor. i have to concur with what nnebuihe said. when i was reading the list of people that were suspended by ms akinto and mrs labode i must say i laughed my head off. it still seems like yesterday though we graduated 13 odd yrs ago. thanks for going there and i see u wore a lovely dress to match the school colour as there were slight shades of purple. good work girl.
@nnebuihe, oh yes girl I remember that suspension...rancel babes huh? and i was class captain when that suspension came, so was asked to relinquish that post...lol oh, good old days.
@chinedu...my darling how are u? yes i wore that dress to match the school colour. the school has really changed...but still as great as before. holla at me babe!
Oh yes...RANCEL babes, I still have that picture.Those were the good ol days sis, and I really miss everyone. I wish there could be a class reunion for all the girls, it would be nice:)
