If You Didnt You These ... Nawa, Where You Grow??

― If you didn't kill earthworms with salt.
― If you didn't play with rubber bands.
― If you never bathed in the rain.
― If nobody told you about India vs Nigeria 99-1.
― If you didn't sleep on the couch and wake up on
the bed.
― If you didn't go to steal cashew and guava in the
next street and the owner's dog
comes through the backyard waiting for you to
come
down from the tree.
― if you didn't throw your milk tooth on the roof for
the lizards to take it and give you
new ones.
― If you didn't just wash your
hands and legs instead of bathing when going to
school.
― If you didn't act film in uncompleted building or
under bed with friends.
― If you never flew a
kite.
- If you didn't use your two legs to build houses with
sand.
- If u didn't write your name on paper and insert it into
your pen so that no one will
steal it.
- If you didn't close the fridge door really slowly to see
when the lights went off.
- If you never waved at white birds
expecting your nails to be whiter
- If you never heard of a ghost dat stays under mango
trees at nights
- If you didn't drive a single car Tyre with a stick and
called it ur car!
- If you didnt mix garri n sugar in your
pocket and eat while walking in the street.
- If you never did mama and papa play i.e. cookin
grass nd sand witout fire.
- If you didn't play table soccer with bottle cover.
-if you never steal a meat 4rm pot.
-If you never bath inside bathroom and went out

There is this one about cracking freshly coked groundnuts and accumulating them after which you will now start forming doctor prescribing it as drugs for yourself or some clueless kid around drinking water with every Prescription and then you eventually bed wet because you have loaded yourself up with to much water..... By the way if you didn't try to cover up your wetting the bed by trying to soak it up with your towel then you are a jonser.... We all slipped some liquid as kids so don't form

Na only ajepako dey do dat nt all Nigeria children.
Its good to be AJEPAK'S
lol. Wetin be de definition of 'ajepako'?
I no go say i be 'ajepako' or 'ajebutter'.........probably a mixture of both, leaning mostly on the 'ajebutter' side. But i can say i did 99.9% of all dat....probably cos i was a tomboy (found it more fun playing with boys than girls cos girls can form!) Lol.
My childhood was interesting....no play wey pesin no play.

You forgot to mention:
- played soccer with toilet ball (you know that orange-coloured 'stone' ball with pierced tip....and all other painful balls. Haha (adidas no dey reign dat time, na 'okpomkporo'.....
or played soccer with small unripe orange to be changed every time it gets squashed underfoot.

-played basketball with car tyre as the goal mouth.

-Jumped rolling tyres in succession (when it wasn't fun using normal car tyres, tipper/lorry tyres were used).

-reserved 'special' plates and spoons even before the food is cooked!

-tiptoe out of the house at the slightest indication of friends/neighbours playing outside.

-pretend to observe your siesta only to disappear from the house few minutes later(how does a child sleep in the afternoon when you hear others playing? Hot afternoon of all times....which kin 'siesta' be dat? Lol)

-store every crown cork you see whether clean or not just to play with later(doesn't matter if your room becomes sandy).

-Bite open mango seed just because you heard it houses tortoise!

-Purposely provoke dogs to chase you for the fun of it(can't forget the day i fell and came face-to-face with one). Haha. Na there my dog play got red card.

-climb tree tops just to pluck fruits and relax there even if you were told girls don't climb trees.

-put omo in cans and blow bubbles(victory for the biggest bubbles!).

-beat the daylight out of your cushions/sofas with cane while teaching dem 'students' and they're not understanding. (i can't even laugh).

-pretending to be sick just to skip work only to find out you're too good an actor when you fall sick for real minutes later!.

-argue with your friends about the pronounciation of a word, only to agree to wait for the 9pm network news to get the correct pronounciation from the newscaster. (No be now some newscasters dey 'kpoom' over word pronounciation more than primary school kids!

Abeg dem too plenty.......

I really pity kids of nowadays, who only play video games. No more playing outside with friends...even if they do, na 'ajebo' play. Not good....not good...

you forgot cabides and Catapults; those girls clapping games when two compete, clapping their hands and punishing out their feet; you didn't mention racing paper boats in running gutter during a deluge, you didn't mention knock-outs, you forgot tying strings to giant beetle feet to use them like living kites....

Good memories though...thank you.
