I didn't actually know where to create this thread so I decided to do that in the general section. Gone are the days when we played with certain things! Those could be said to be our toys; children of nowadays...the indomie generation won't understand some of the stuffs am going to mention below because they never saw them nor do they know how enjoyable they were for us back then as kids. If are familiar with any of them, e mean say u sef dor old too o! They are surely memorable! Here I go:

1) Kite: If u play this play, e mean say u dor take style old. Kids these days can't even make a kite. Back then we used to fly kites made with papers, broomsticks or bamboo and we used 'eba' as our gum hehehehe. We did send messages to our kites by making a hole in a small piece of paper and fixing it to the rope. The paper would go up up up.

2) Wooden gun: during Xmas periods, we make wooden guns. Tie pipe to it with tubes from car tyres and put heads of match sticks inside the pipe. It produces a deafening sound! Some people dig ground and pour hot lead from car batteries into the spoon shaped hole till it becomes solid. We would make a hole on it and put the heads of match sticks, fix a nail in the hole and hit on the wall! The noise na helele! We used to call it 'agadagbo' .

3) Otori: I don't even know if this one has an English name but I just know it as 'Otori'. One person is meant to chase a group of people, usually in a rough environment, filled with blocks, broken woods, chairs and other stuffs. If the person catches any of the group of people, that person caught would do the chasing. Warri, I know say una know this one well well

4) Driving/Riding wheels: This is another memorable stuff we did as kids. The wheels we rode were usually gotten from the plastic cover of small paint containers; some kids also got theirs from the bottom of those ancient metal buckets that are used to get water from the well. The spoke that is used to drive the wheels are gotten from old iron hangers Na fun doz days if ur papa send u message and u get wheels . Fondest memories sha! Na so u go dey speed for road. Before spit go dry, u dor come back.

4) Hiring of bicycles: We used to hire bicycles back then. From one street end to the other na one naira I can't easily forget what my dad did to me when I was in Jss 2. Mr Agubata, our neighbour reported me to my dad that he saw me along the road during school hours riding bicycle! That night was hell for me. Mortal Kombat dey learn sef

5) Mopo: I don't know what other kids like me growing up then called it, but we in the south, Old Bendel State dey call am 'mopo'. How deh dey play am? A person is meant to 'call' by trying to hit others with a small ball as they try to escape. Whoever the ball touches would be expected to 'call'.

6) Koto or Okoso: Back then, we used small snails' shells to play. A hole would be dug in the ground and we would shape the snail shells so that they could roll inside the shallow hole called 'ugba'. If my own nack ur own comot, na e be say I dor chop am

Oya, my pipo wey know wetin I dey talk, make una add una own

Just the right word

Na that wooden gun dey make us steal matches from our mama.
We couldn't do without riding wheel. It made our journey faster whenever we were going somewhere.
We also played counter(coke and beer covers). We used to arange them and begin to open them if they were closed or close them if they were opened using finger tip or biro-cover tip. Once you fail to open or close anyone at once you've missed it. It would then be the next person's turn.
