Like you read up there, I don't actually know my age, but I can some event way back,
I lost my mum and dad so early and I grew up with grandma.

I my uncle coming to take me back to lag, in year 2000 precisely and I very well when that bomb blast at Ikeja cantoment happened for days in Lagos.

Now key important things to know is, when my uncle came to take me back to lag it was during third term holidays and I was on my way to primary 2 then but when I got to lag he enrroll me to private school and I was taken back to nursery 3 because baba (me) no Sabi even speak English as at then, and I still that very moment very well.

So like how many years of age do you guys think I might be then cuz all the memories are still fresh in my brain so for me to still everything then, I am thinking maybe i was 7 or 9 then. I'm so confuse.

This is weird, it's a shame for a parent not to know their child's birthday, I hear most people saying this particular thing.


Your parent are responsible for this, ask them. undecided




MODIFIED: I just saw about 50 MENTIONS on this thread alone, I understand I made a mistake by concluding so fast, most of you must have done this too but will quote me and be claiming as if you're perfect.


The OP typed without leaving a f^cking space, it's hard to read things that are typed that way and my phone's font is on the smallest, I judged by the headline which some of you do too.


Well, at least, i didn't make a mistake of voting Buhari that made you guys jobless to quote me on this forum, most of you guys quoting will still go on to vote Tinubu Or Atiku, now between me and you, who has or will make the biggest mistake ?

Ponder on this..

Mtcheew! grin

He should ask Uncle or Aunties, they should know, they must have attended his dedication or something.

Guy forget about that age stuff,
just count you were 10 years old when you acquire your First School Leaving Certificate. You will thank me later.

Probz:


Lol. He should just dash himself a full decade (not even 7 or 8 )?

You don't get my point, in civil service they assume the minimum age to obtain FSLC is 10 years. So he should count 10 years back from the date he obtained FSLC, then get an affidavit e.g DOB (1999) FSLC(2009)

Waynesteave:
nahhh, that will be I'm 27 yrs nop I am way past 27

You will only understand and appreciate my advice when you start job hunting and especially when you get government job

See ehn, when writing, people should learn how to use paragraphs and space, I re-read a sentence twice.

That shit is not funny, when I see you don't give paragraphs and space, I'll just be reading in a shuffle mode.

In this country almost everyone fakes their ages.. So don't work yourself out.. Just look at yourself in the morrow and assume any age you want..

Choose February 29 as your birth date so as to save you the hassle of having your birthdays every year.
For your birth year I think 1992 will be fine since that was a leap year too.

From your post you were clearly born in the village. Ask your grandma the church you were dedicated at birth and the name of the Rev who dedicated you.

Locate the church. Whoever is overseeing the church at the moment would connect you to the Rev who dedicated you. Once you have his , prepare yourself and pay him a visit and explain yourself very well to him.

He would tell you the exact year you were born. Dedication is done after 3 months from your day of birth so from the year of your dedication, you can get your birth month. The exact day might not be easy you can just choose any date within your birth month and celebrate your birthday.

Good luck.

Which church is that?
That's not a general truth.
What if he wasn't dedicated?

He was born in the village, he's a South Easterner. 95% of South Easterners are Christians, most churches in South Eastern villages are Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, Anglican.

These churches are not your random Pentecostal one man churches, they have and keep records dating back to the colonial era. All he needs to get is the name of the Rev who dedicated him and the rest would be solved.

If the primary school you attended before your uncle took you out is still functioning. Go there.. they should check your results and probably your registration... You will find the answers u seek

yes yes yes, you're so damn right. Cuz after my uncle died in 2004 it is the same st Mary's I went to finish my primary cuz I had to go back to meet grandma at village.
But are u sure they will still have that registration considering that time of storing data on paper undecided

You say St. mary.. if indeed it's a Catholic School, I'm 100% sure they still have the records... Catholic keeps records more than Guinness books of record..

Just write stuff down
Go to your local government area where you were born there will be a act of birth.
If you can’t do that how are you academically or physically you should be able to put yourself in a range 35-40; 30-34, 25-29. Then pick a day and get an act of birth

It cannot be 9 years...My 9year old cousin is already in primary 5 with very sharp retentive memory, me myself can recall what happen to me at the age of 4...

So I'm guessing your date of birth should be around. 1995-1996

Around 2004, many people in primary 5 should be 11, 12 of age. And don't forget he was taken back to nur 3 instead of pri 2 or 3
