Number 5 reminded of a boy called Ifechukwu, once he vex, forget it he would be going with his ball. Then number 16 reminded me of a man called Egede, if u kicked the ball into his compound, game would be over cos he would seize the ball. Those years were totally fun.

I swear the strength is Just natural. No energy boosters, no aloma bitters, no alcohol nothing

I can play from 7am till 7pm

We don't fill hungry while playing especially when there's no set to enter


Now I don't think I can Play 90mins without holding my waist.

Na me dey always choose last, more of the reason why I dont know how to play football till date

Gone are the days when boys were real boys as I look back in nostalgia.

Below were rules of football when we were kids, damn it was fun

1. The fat kid was always the goalkeeper.

2.The owner of the ball decides who plays .

3. If you didn't participate in repairing the ball you were given a match ban.

4. The guy who's never picked was to fetch the ball from the trees or bush when it got stuck, under the car or tunnel to play in the next game.

5. When the owner of the ball got annoyed, game over.

6. When you hit your toes against a stone and you notice blood, you quickly cover the area of injury with sand as a form of first aid and play continues.

7. You can't dribble the owner too much, this may lead him to stop the game by taking away his ball.

8. No matter how many goals you scored, the winner would be determined by the last team to score.

9.No offsides.

10.There is no referee.

11.There is fault only if the fault is serious .

12.The 2 best players can not play in the same team so everyone chooses their players.

13.If you are chosen last it is a humiliation and you will remain in defense.

14.If there is a penalty the goalkeeper is replaced by the best player of the team.

15.The best player on the field is always in the same team as the owner of the ball.

16.There is always a house where if the ball fell there, we knew that the game was over. so be careful !! cheesy grin

17. To distinguish the teams, one of the teams take off their shirts .

18.Game over when its dark and we can barley see the ball, we all disperse in groups teasing one another until we get home to face another punishment from our parents. grin

Africa is our home. Childhood was fun.

If the felele ball burst by hitting something sharp, in house vulganizers will get a knife, heat it in a naked flame and cut a piece of plastic ball and place it sideways on the red hot knife and once it starts to melt, will slide it onto the puncture and once it sticks, the ball will be tested for air tightness by submerging in water and then it is pumped for a small fee at a place where you can find a manual hand pump - usually at one babas place that rents out bicycles for a fee and if you are late in returning his bicycle, he will seize your shirt until you pay him.

No wonder we did not put on weight. Imagine playing football at least 5 hours every week day and up to 10 hours on Saturday how you wan put on weight. Although we no dey chop meat like carnivores when we were younger and whatever food your parents provided was accepted with happiness.

If You play the ball enter baba juwon house,Your own don be grin

As an adult now, I understand that Baba Ladi was just trying to protect his house windows from being broken by our ball hence he always sat in front of his house during our games ready to pounce and seize our ball and immediately give it a cesarean section with a knife once our ball strayed into his compound.

We dey play ball from morning till evening.

We played football from dawn to dusk with short breaks for lunch. No wonder I occasionally got sleep paralysis from the extreme tiredness after a whole day of playing football.

There is always one house that has a very wild and aggressive dog that is always snarling his teeth at every passer by and if you accidentally kick your ball into that gated compound, then its game over as no one will risk trying to retrieve the ball and get bitten by the wild eyed dog which is always lurking under a car waiting to pounce on his next unsuspecting victim.

I miss those good old days. I long to have those memories again. Life was so much fun then.

There was a time in Nigeria, Lagos to be precise when armed robbers no too dey and the few thieves then only came to steal clothes hung out to dry on drying lines and then once spotted, they ran for their dear lives. Dem days no thief dey get gun except in the rare case of Oyenusi the grandfather of all Nigerian Robbers who was executed by firing squad at Lagos Bar Beach in public.

19. In a monkey post, if the ball is higher than the stone used for goal post, it's over the bar

20. Guessing the position of the "vab" (valve) correctly settles the argument about the first two teams to start the match
