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

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 [size=16pt]KITES?[/size]. 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 gud 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.

yinx007 ,how do u do?

Anyone here played 'four-post' where you had four posts in a square area with a 'monkey post' on each square 'face'? You were not allowed two consecutive touches except with volleys and each person had to defend his 'post'. A goal against you and you're out. You always had up to six or seven 'substitutes' and the game just went on and on. We had a perfect area for it at the boarding house i stayed. Very enjoyable game. Sometimes you had cliques and people would cooperate say two against two or even three against one though there was always room for betrayal.

i recently played

rings-ringa roses, a pocket full of roses, atishoo, atishoo we all fall down!

with my lil cozin, lol
