Funny stuff.

I am a gaming enthusiast. Still the proud owner of the following consoles;

1. Nintendo 64

2. Play station 1

3. Play station 2.

4. Play station 3

5. Play station 4.

6. XBox 360

7. Play station Vita

And my younger Bro just traded in the Xbox One recently.

All the games still work and just quite recently my friends and I played Golden eye on 64 out of nostalgia. I still have these consoles because I have never had the ability to sell my things so they just sit there and gather dust once I switch. One of my favorite games remains Winning Eleven franchises on Play Station 2 and 3.. My friends still prefer to bet on those games because we are all masters at it and the game play is very direct without all these new combos on the newer games.

I have been employed for the last 5 years until I decided to go into business for myself recently which has affected my gaming time but I still have those odd weekends when my buddies come over with pizza and beer and spirit and we just wild away time gaming and placing bets amongst each other and just chilling. We call it low budget grooves.

Gaming is an expensive habit so most gamers especially in Nigeria must have some forms of income to be able to play and enjoy it. A 1 TB console costs upwards of 100 thousand Naira. A new game on the new consoles costs upwards of 15 thousand to 20 thousand Naira.

The advanced gamers can make money from the habit. There is a Nigerian kid in the UK Olajide Olatunji who is a millionaire gamer and now a game tester for many top gaming companies and also a YouTube game blogger..

There is a very big market in the gaming and cartoon industry especially in Africa as it is an untapped market.


Golden Eye of the Nintendo 64 was a classic. I would still play that game anytime anyday.

Not all gamers are stinky, fat introverts dwelling in a basement. Not all gamers are socially awkward teens with four eyes and greasy hair. In fact, if we all took a step back and ignored the depiction of gaming enthusiasts, we might come to see that most video game fans are just normal folks who want to be entertained.
You might roll your eyes and think, “Stereotypes exist for a reason.” Yes, on some level that is true. Stereotypes don’t form in a vacuum and it would be dishonest to say that stereotypes can’t be true. However, stereotypes are contextual — perhaps true in a given time period or setting but never across the board.
The worst gamer stereotypes often develop based on a vocal minority . It’s not so much that gamers are jerks. Rather, jerks who play games are the most likely to be vocally prominent, making it easy to assume that they represent all gamers.
Here are some of the worst stereotypes that just aren’t true in this day and age.

Gamers Are Lazy
This is one stereotype that really bogged me down during my own childhood . On the one hand, it’s very unfair. Binging on Netflix and watching entire seasons of television at a time? Is that Normal?, Reading book after book after book? Admirable. Sinking hours into Facebook, Twitter or Instagram? Everyone does it!! .
Yet once you invest time into video games, suddenly you’re a lazy loser with no passions or life goals. Not to say that gaming is any better than other forms of media, but it certainly isn’t any worse.
Of course, some people do find themselves addicted to video games because they offer a safe form of mental escape. However, isn’t that the same for all forms of entertainment? Just as Netflix, books and Snapchat all provide a moment of fresh air in the busyness of life, so does video games. I know a lot of gamers that are the exact opposite of being lazy. So it's unfair to think of all gamers as lazy.

I remain a gamer
