When I was young, I wanted to be an adult, so I would be free from parental 'intrusion', now that I am old, I wish I was a child once again, under the care of my parents.

When i was a child and went on holiday to warri in nigeria for the first time. We learnt how to make kites using old newspapers and the stick from broomstick we would use eba to glue the kite together and buy thread to attached to the kite. We had great fun flying these things and having battles trying to destroy each others kites. It was really fun man

I had the big kitchen set, with other cooking appliances
I had all types of dolls, including one that had a father, mother and a child along with a feeding bottle
We use to swing, and see who can go higher
Hide and sick, skipping rope
I had the doggie that back then, but it only uses battery
There was this other game that we use with our leg, it goes by "Open close faster faster, kick open faster faster
And the date of the month game, they call your month then u come in the circle and dance.
And these computer game called Pac man
We played doctor, mom and dad lol

Boju-boju, Oloro n bo,
Form a big circle like your mother's cooking pot,
Daddy in the palour watching, mummy in the kitchen cooking, change your style, another style,
baba mi kole be, mama mi kole be, emi nikan mole be, bebebe lomode n be
Mr macaroni riding on a bicycle,
Tinko Tinko, c it in d new MTN campaign
Mr who, what do u want, I want my colour
Oh! what a nice post to reflect sweet memories, time you never thought of anything other than go to school, eat and play. Not like now when you have to huzzle and think of what lies ahead of you. |

I just remembered this few days ago. Whoever played with KITES?. Back then in Festac having a kite was the in-thing. It was the bomb. I can barely remember how to make one again. We get oldnewspapers, broom/bamboo sticks and we'll use eba or fufu as glue. Oh! We made sure the tail of the kites were long so it could fly well and we'll steal money to buy thread. It was fun all the way. We even competed with our kites. Small pikin days na im good pass o |

Abiodun shell bullets using an empty biro case, a sturdy broomstick, and a target! Stoning using agbalumo seeds or folded paper and rubber bands!
Playing ten-ten(see dust ehn), mr. macaroni, o ki pe le meta(don't call out thrice), suwe, tafa balewa, that MTN advert reminds me of some games too, but I've forgotten.
Then YABBINGS! Hei! You mess, glass steam. You mess, water boil. You mess, flies mutate. And on and on
Video/computer games: space commander, street fighter(Use female contenders mostly), tank(hhen, protect the bird!), super mario bros. ( E bi o maa ku si!- theme song!) aah tell me y'all really how do kids play nowadays?!
