I have several. One of my fondest earliest memories is of my father holding my hand and walking with me to the supermarket and also of him reading bedtime stories to me. Another fond memory is the sounds of me and hundreds of other children playing out and about our estate.

1. Suwe and ten-ten with the kids on my side of the estate.
2. Climbing the trees in my compound. It stopped the day my brother saw a snake on one of the trees .
3. Spending my transport fare on fried fish and the likes and walking home with some kids from my primary school. It stopped the day my mum caught me walking.

And how can I forget taking food to neighbours and family friends on new year's day and getting "owo-odun" in return. Plus getting "owo-odun" from visitors who called at my home.
