April fooool, this is what fills the day in a typical Nigerian town on the 1st of april as kids and teenagers play pranks on one another .
One such event like that once happened in our school, when on one fateful April 1st during classes the bell rung, and this was very much abnormal as it was very unusual for the bell to ring without it being the break time or the end of a period, anyways we all were gathered at the school hall, when our dean came in and ordered us all to go down on our knees, we were terrified at first and he came and started asking random questions that made it seem like we had done something wrong, and we all were left in suspense , wondering what we might have done wrong, then all if a sudden all he did was just raise up his , voice a bit and then simply said “ I just want you to know that you all have been April fooled !!!”
How hilarious? At the time, It was fun though.
And not once but twice I have been pranked twice this morning, the most hilarious one was this
I was received this ,
this morning from a friend at first sight it seemed to be a transfer receipt , but on opening I got to see this.
So with all these quite funny experiences of these April fool ,
DO YOU KNOW THE ORIGIN?
Actually , The origin of April Fools’ Day is still shrouded in mystery, with some historians tracing it back to ancient Roman and Celtic traditions. In the past, when people would celebrate the arrival of spring by playing tricks on each other. Over time, the tradition evolved into what we now know as April Fools’ Day.
These, people often play practical jokes on each other, such as putting salt in the sugar bowl or setting up fake spider webs. Some popular pranks include changing the language settings on someone’s phone or computer, putting a fake bug in someone’s food, or pretending to be someone else in a text message. However in some cases people have taken this to the extreme as we get to see children play very harmful pranks on each other, and we have seen children get injured due to these expensive jokes, which has turned out to be a downside to what was supposed to be a thing of jokes and entertainment.
While April Fools’ Day is all about fun, it is very important to remember to keep the pranks light-hearted and harmless. It is not meant to hurt or embarrass anyone, but rather to bring laughter and joy to those around us.
So this April 1st, don’t be afraid bring out your playful side and pull off a few harmless pranks on your friends and family. Just remember to be mindful of others’ feelings and always be ready to laugh at yourself as well. After all, April Fools’ Day is all about fun! And harmless pranks.
