It's called okoso

Those were toys of our beginnings, these days kids start with GameBoy, how lucky they are!

Damn! Kodi of life! Buh plenty Biro cover miss sha. The funny thing was that my Dad would always complain of his missing batteries, both the ones with living/ dead cells na one chance! tho It never changed the fact that I got my fingers whooped. To even chop sef for night na slow motion as a result of swollen hands.*in papilo's voice* " we knw say u dey always bring us shame"

Choi childhood memories
Its awesome

lol.. Ancient of days

Mehn! That was between '92 and '96, I was a champ back then until one yeye girl pack come our block to challenge me... She won me hands down, but everytime Nepa switches off electricity in the evening, I dey take my revenge , most of u know that kind small pikin things na...chai

u b barrack boy...i suspect.

Yea, Koso @ Army Children School Ojira, Tkp.
Though my coach and koso skill trainer died during our childhood days. I ever remember him for koso.
Only one life...

Golden old days, this almost prevented me from playing Soccer at times, love my childhood, not the age of computer game, where you will be alone in your room, this game and other games help my childhood association, love it like anything.

How it was played:

Hold it at the base of the biro cover between your thumb and index finger...

Snap it mid air and allow it to drop on your palms while it spins...

Wait for that perfect moment and slide your hand towards the ground...

The aim was to make sure it turned upside down with the biro cover pointed upwards. Failure to achieve that will warrant the opponent to knock the back of your hands with the pointed biro cover the number of times you failed.

Kai! I remember coming home with swollen hands almost every school day.

Those good old days

Lol... I used it to play too... how time flies...
Even with bottle cap and broom...

By the way wft!

Pen cover and tiger battery disappearance back then was at an alarming rate My dad was always complaining too. If you ask my brother to choose between two loves: Eba (food) and Okoto, he will choose the later without second thought

I played it,i was the street best. My opposition will tell you the story of their fingers.

People that did this successfully appeared to be magicians to me. But the day I got to do it successfully I felt like the man who discovered fire!

It is called Okoso and made from BIC biro cover and Berec or Tiger battery lid cover.
Cool though

Imagine, I'm a right-hander but whenever I would wanna spin this "Koso" or "Okoso" and cover it expertly, I usually use my left hand.

Mystery till today.

We called it kodi in hausa, iko in yoruba. Sharobo! na back of ur Palm and fingers u dey follow play until it bleeds game can't be over

We used to call it "Dodon Kodi" in Hausa.

This thread title should have been, "If you ever in your life play with this, then you are much older than you think"

Thanks.

Yours Faithfully.
MDF.

Back in the days! We call it "KOROSA"

Good old days...lol now BIC biros no longer have pointed ends

[size=44pt]GAWD DAMN!!![/size] badt guy

Big4wig:
Sorry mods for dropping this here,move it to its specific destination



Once upon a time........
Those that are born in the 1980s and 1990s will remeber this!
Who have played with this and who remeberd this?

Heey. The sweetest way is the one we call "Bone bone"(playing with only one person). You load the pen cover with 6 of the battery plastic to make it HEAVY. When you hit the person one and swell his back hand, he'll believe.

The one we used was made of 2 parts... Pen cover and battery cover...

The name is "okoso" its made from top cover of a DD size battery and broken half of a BIC pen. The whites call it "top"
We play it by using our thumb and mid finger to spin it. When it does we try to tumble it showing who won.

OOOO MEHHHNNN!!!!! is dat IKOSO


miss u dear..

u settled sum of my bills dat year!!!!

Mo Play shege si lara

In my place we call it 'AKOTO'....playing it was fun particularly if you are responsible for peeling your peer's hand to the point of bleeding.
