An0nimus: The wrestling matches mehn...When we were subdued there's this 'charging' stuff we did..think we learnt that from Hulk Hogan looool.

Yeah, tough wrestling. Craziness.

Crossing the road at the last possible moment just to hear car tires screech in protest at the sudden brakes applied.......i still wonder how i never got knocked down.A neighbor reported me and i got the beating of my life.

Jumping wide gutters.....lost a couple of teeth in the process

There was a year lizards anatomy was to be used as biology experiments in SSCE.it was total annihilation for the lizards in our school compound oh.....to get the skeleton,we had to boil them and strip them of their skin.....and yes,we ate them too cos their flesh looked/felt like fish.

I remember nailing a paint bucket cover to a stick and rolling it around like a car even running at high speeds....once, i raised the stick too high while running and it got stuck in the sand,the upper edge of the stick buried itself in my hip just beside my solar plexus......very painful.was surprised my mum found it more painful cos she cried a lot about it.

Richtronix: 1.Kenke - High jump with one two x four and up to four steel barrels with sawdust as a landing patch

2.Borris (Bearings) - hooked with a piece of steel into a plank and rolled down Caterpillar sands (Ogba Oluwole) at breakneck speed

3.Keke Elemu - Old Raleigh bikes that tappers used with our young feet barely touching the pedals and totally out of control, many a fall and loads of scrapes

4.Playing football on the now beer parlour covered TARMAC in Oluwole. Everyday was a new injury yet you played football throughout your holidays

5.Sokopeye- adding hard pea like seeds to a broomstick and nearly blinding everyone you knew with the seeds

5.Police and thieves with "ruba"(rubber bands) - added danger when people deliberately switched from paper bullets to WIRE and coat hangers

6.Swimming in the three rivers (Odo) Jowoeshe, Alagbafo and Oke Ira with no floats or lifeguards

7.Walking from Mayflower Junior School in Ikenne as an 8 year old Aje butter to Odogbolu. Even as an adult I wouldnt think of doing that....

8. Jumping down entire flights of steps without touching any thing but the bannisters(harder than it sounds)

9. Blasting the xxxx out of everyone with the original Knockout bangers, Onife and Oni kobo-kobo and nearly blowing myself up in the process

10. Sleeping with Mosquito coils ON all night...!

you are pathetic!!!

i remember when we use to "play rubber"
After watching a movie, we go act the mock movie e.g snake in the monkey shadow
When we make paper fan with broom punched at the middle and we run around the street
When we use to play "OGO" and host football tournament with a trophy made of light bulb, wrapping it with st moritz paper foil with fufu or eba.
When we play" After round one "
When we sing "lekeleke gbami leke" so to get a white spot on ur fingers
When our teeth will pull out as kids and they will tell us not to allow lizard see it so dat our teeth will not be unable to grow
" you mess agbor fly gate"
so so many
......

Put kerosene in mouth, light a match, flip it up then 'spit flames' - I did that.

Trust ur sis I no fit stop cos I was enjoying the attention I was getting in school so I started washing plate *codedly*

Roll down two storey steps with only a plank slate. Sustained so much injuries like a broken thumb, middle finger, patellar, dislocated both ankles to name a few. Always went back to slide down that same steps till my people had to look for a lasting solution..

remember dose days we used to peep at people having sex! Choi!

annawhite: remember dose days we used to peep at people having sex! Choi!

OMG and I thought u were innocent..

drnoel:
OMG and I thought u were innocent..

I was,was bieng naughty!. . . . . . .

I actually did some dangarous things back then and each time I remember them I give thanks to God and believe children are guided be angels. One day I was sent to get kerosine for cooking dinner and on my way I just put the mouth of the keg to my ear listening to one funny sound you get from your water flask or any other container before I knew what was happening a drop or two went straight down into my ear, hmmmm.. for days my ear was like Abuja - Lokoja road so clear that I could hear anything and I mean anything. And some days later one big brownish thing fell off my ear.

We used to peep on people, myself and some other naughty friends of mine, one day we went as usual, not knowing that the uncle had prepared "igbale agbe poo" (broom) and as the ring leader me just show my eye through the key hole omo see as the broom hit my forehead thank goodness it was not my eye ball.

xynerise: Michael jackson doesnt have a childhood if he did not experience all these. . Have u seen my childhood? .

What is the name of this thing o...*thinking*
Yes! "Di gben" . Where we use our bigger thumb to hammer someone's pilehole, ouch! That hurts. Be you u male of female we dont even care . I believe some girls were deflowered in the process . We were scared to bend down when we are in public. A friend of mine did it to his sister and she collapsed.

Mehn we did that n it was damn painful. We called it "peugeot otolo" at the height of peugeot we meticulously guarded our rear any loss of guard came Wt terrible peugeot insertion and excruciating pains. Laughs heartedly, old innocent days

Can't help but laugh reading thru this thread, reminiscing the good old dangerous days...so many dangerous things I did, will list as much as I can remember
1. I think I'm the only one who invented goat-drawn carriage in the whole of naija, did that by hitching a he-goat to a damaged tricycle with the rear tires still there. Mad fun!

2. Built many borris( ball bearing toy cars), we use to compete with those inside abandoned police station(barrack things)

3. Hunted so many wild animals from insects to cane rats, used to make weapons from catapult to bows and arrows, went crab hunting, fishing,swimming in murky waters, snake sight seeing( ridiculous but true) plunder sugarcane and garden eggs from farms, eating raw green pepper to show who's the boss..rotfl.

4. Sliding on slippery concrete floor with bare chest

5. Poured werepe(devil bean) on a female classmate locker cos of her smart mouth, come see film early morning the second day.

Slept in a uncompleted building for four days cos my old man embarrassed me in front on my secret lover.

Riding bicycles with no break down hill... My scars are my badges of honor.

Street soccer, inter-street fire cracker battle.
Divided the window blind into 2 with blade for no reason, that was the first time I'd ever lay fallow with enough tear gas in my eyes courtesy my parle... That man sef.. He use to chase me wearing tennis shoes carrying 4way adaptor coboco whenever I don do bad for house..


Too many to remember, I'm just glad my childhood was fun, we made fun happen way back but these days, the kids watch fun happen.
