As most schools open up on the 8th of October around Nigeria, we want to share some of the amazing characteristics of many students either in Primary, Secondary or Tertiary institutions across Nigeria. So these are 17 things only Nigerian students know to be true about their time in schools. Share with another student you know that agrees to these facts.

1. There is always an Owu period in school

2. Our lecturers make it seem like the particular course they are lecturing us on is the one that will help our destiny succeed

 

3. No matter how social you are, clubs, bars and hang out spots are a no go area during exam

4. Group late coming is the sweetest; afterall, I am not the only one to be punished

5. We all have that one person in class that has access to handouts but for some reasons, never shares it.
