to win a trophy made with tin,bulb nd covered with ciggerete labels, play mummy
nd dadi with the girl u like d most. eat up the seed in already eaten almond fruits. drink
up d remainder from bottle of cocacola when told to return d bottle. fake sickness

So for you to really enjoy this programs, u have to go to only house in d street dat has a coloured Tv. and often times u have to stay at d window and peep. And wen u lucky, you get to sit on d floor in front of d Coloured tv itself. on such days, dear u are like a king because u really get first hand experience its better than even cinema...lol

Hahaha. i remember when my siblings and I used to act movies at home. we would act either sci-fi or action or comedy. We would use our hands as puppets. Gosh. we had very funny storylines with very good use of imaginations. Sometimes, we also sing. We would find anything long that resembles a microphone to use. Very funny moments.

I remember the days of ten-ten, suwe, change ur style, police and thief, hide and seek and the rest of them. Then we used to run around the school field in order to catch grashopper (Tata) at NNPC staff school Mosimi Sagamu. Those were the gud old days.

Rememberd one day, we actually went for sallah then at Ijebu Ode. After d ram had been killed, we children take the Horn of d ram and attach it to a stick...its a game we boys play. My own horn had actually been the undefeated Champion (from lagos)in my area...d others saw me like a king as in omo Eko. There was dis boy that comes from no where and he actually defeated me. I was so so mad at losing that i decided i wad going to pay back. so i used a longer stick, well equiped with my horn...and off i left ( thank God d adults were busy cooking d ram and food so no one knew i was gone). I searchedfor this boys house, i thought i used to see him around d next or 3rd street then, and those house really looked alike. After a long time of searching i gave up! it was then i relised that i was lost! i dint know home, i dint know where i was, i knew no where around ijebu. So with my horn in my hand i started crying...after a while i summoned courage and begged one okada man, i explained my predicament to him, and i told him d popular junction i hear my sis call wen we are goin home. i begged him to take me dere dat i would be able to locate home. He then agreed to carry me and my horn. But to my suprise dis guy didnt keep to our plan.he actually took me to my house and openly reported me to the team of uncles and aunties that had been looking around for me. even d boys and girls i have been forming lagos boy for too were there. They all laughed me to scorn....i actually felt like dying that day. anytym i rememba dose days...i can help but laugh..lol.

I can still remember that removing 3 strands of eyelashes and the end of the pain of removing it, they would still beat the nonsense out of you because they wouldn't forget anything

Also i remember the changing calendar competition on every first day of the month. We used o have like 4 -5 in d house then so at least you must struggle to change one after morning devotion

As i girl i loved table soccer. I used to play it with my brother

We used to ride tyres as well because we didnt have bicycle

I remember the fun of making by force condensed milk by making a thick mixture of peak milk with PLENTY sugar and lick the congealed stuff bit by bit... now I shudder just imagining the sickening sweetness, by force chocolate was a combo of bournvita, sugar and milk

I remember the joy of chewing goody goody too yummy

Throwing a loosed tooth on top the roof as it will not grow again if thrown into the bush and unfortunately its got swallowed by lizard. Looking back at it now, I wonder why I fell for such supersticious belief.

Because you were a child! lol

I remember that too. If a rat eats it, your new tooth will be crooked

My uncle told me if I swallowed an orange seed, I should expect it to grow into an orange tree on my head. The horror and sleepless nights that gave me eh? Only God will forgive that uncle

Lol imagin. There is this other one they said if you point at a tomb your fingers will be bent. The solution is biting your fingers if you mistakenly point at it. Whenever I make such mistake, I will be biting my fingers. Can you imagin this class of foolishness?
