Complete Naija Boy. I can identify with all of the above mentioned attributes and ocassions. But OP, only those above Thirty can understand what you are talking about. Computer games this days have clouded the minds of many kids thereby making them book smart but not street smart. You will need both to make it in Naija. OP......Thanks for bringing back the good old days.

new ones.

your pen so that no one will
steal it.

@Op. You are very wonderful to have remembered all these. I long forgot some of them. I really did or witness all except the mango tree ghost stuff. I'm following you right away.
You must have certainly forgotten. The Mango tree is the one where you are being warned not to follow a particular route in the night because of the ojuju
