    … We were all happy-go-lucky children. Our biggest worries learning about the different layers of the ear and trying not to mess up quadratic equations. Those were some good ass times.

    Those were also the times we attempted to kickstart our little fashion careers. We put together a list of some of the most notable fashion trends Nigerian secondary school students from 10+ rocked the hell out of and littered the streets of Hi5, Facebook and Bebo with.

    Sagging

    Were you cool if the world wasn’t one mischievous classmate pulling down your pants, away from meeting your ass crack?

    Lip gloss

    If your wet lips couldn’t double as cooking oil for food and but practicals, were you even popping?

    Plaster on the face

    Triple OGs knew what this was about.

    Those big face customized belts

    Nothing says cool, like your government name sitting pretty on your waist line.

    Bedazzled phones

    Phew, those flip phones shined their asses off mid 2000s

    Handbags for school bags

    If this didn’t happen in your set, we will now be separating the Gen Z-ers from the millenials.

    All back with zigzag

    Alicia Keys, you do not know how you revolutionised aall-back in Nigerian schools girl.

    Customised shirts

    These were everywhere!

    Belt chains on regular uniform trousers

    This was for baddies only!
