I also remember playing "Kilo n leje". It goes like this:

Ki lon leje, leje leje
Eniyan leje, leje leje
Okuta n leje, iro nla
Isu n leje, iro nla______ and so on. If u miss it u will carry every other person on your back for an agreed distance.

We also played Horse Race. You choose a partner, he carries u on his/her back and u race with others.

We play no be small  Grin

Chess.
I had a friend who was very good and was representing Nigeria, so he got me into the game, and I improved over the years. Still play the game till now. Thank God my father bought a small chess board which I stole from his room, took it to school and got playing the game with my friends in school. Grin

Connect4
My cousins came from UK and they brought this game, became very good with it. I have not met anyone who can beat me easily on it.

@ all posters,
u know the best thingy about it all is that not one person so far has said he/she regrets the earlier years
everybody can look back and say those years were the best and if we can do it again,will not change one thing about it.
peace. Cry

Wonderful memories of Nigeria indeed. Abeg no do make I begin dey yearn to move back to Nigeria and relieve my childhood. One could say that the epileptic electricity in Nigeria had a positive outcome. Otherwise, we would have been stuck watching Television instead of engaging in the outdoors.

Lol  Grin. This is so funny,
I used to form putting a movie together by using my mother's (clothe) clips and i used to write lots of silly songs, singing them like they were already grammy nominated. lol
I remeber this one,
" rain dey fall, sun dey rise
wetin happen? Na tiger born"
And i used to copy stories from Binta magazine (remember Adewale Adenuga's binta mag?) and show my friends at school to read lying i wrote it.

Na wa for me o.
