I didn't do these when I was a kid o! I don't think there's anytime I didn't bath before going to school. For wetin na?!

@op,you forgot to add playing table tennis with a big board especially old wooden doors and a long stick to demacate the board into two. Then we used small flat wood we call "bat" to play table tennis.

Mehn! Good old days o!!


Lalasticlala,which ones didn't you do as a kid? I know say you be ajebo.

Eehn!!! ifa hear say... for period harmattan nko

I did almost all, and it was all fun then.
With my goons (Agali, Lukman (Baba Luku Plumber), Ma Prince, plus Basira, Ganiya en co), we rocked it hard.

Let us be sincere with ourselves! I was privileged to be present at an occasion where Prof Wole Soyinka gave speech and made reference to the years he was running in the rain rolling motor cycle's tyre with a stick.

He was trying to convince parents not to deprive their kids of their childhood privileges. He then tasked the audience to swear if they never did such while young. He said most parents of this end time generation never allow their kids but to be caged indoor from Jan to Dec.

What about you, SWEAR

1. I did suwe
2. Bojuboju
3. Bubble gum bubble gum
4. I bought ekanna Gowon
5. I washed dirty coins placed in sand with the back of my foot
6. I used my bare hands to twist TV antenna so as to get better reception on ou black/white TV.

There are lots more but can't remeber them.

maspero22:
heheh..nice1 OP. i did virtually all. chai...growing up was fun. i miss ma childhood friends, many of whom, r gone. i remember sucking water taps that weren't running to see if water will drop into ma mouth after school. Also playing war zones wit friends in incomplete buildings, drinking much water to see if i'll be pregnant, watching robocup cartoon, Zero Zero, Willie Willie and superman. i will always watch ma elder brothers construct antenna wit aluminium and long bamboo pole and trust me, d local stations dey clear pass DSTV with d big rainbow that normally show first on NTA; d days of colored #1 ice cream, eleganza biro and chi chi sweet. so many things then. i miss those years allah. chai!

U sound like u grew up in Old Enugu. wili wili don die, clap, who kill am. was that game called Ikpo oga or itu swell

Circumstances have made it so I've only had to deal with teenage girls and there have been times when I've had to flog them. But I do believe children should be given space to experiment, to try things out, for discovery, to grow, and to mature. Most of the time when they stray too far away from what is acceptable and appropriate a child can be given guidance and advice. But there are times when a child strays too far, won't abide by the instructions of her guardian and places herself at serious and unacceptable physical and moral risk

Meehn, I did all o. No lies.

Mama and papa later became a war stuff if u notice that ur sister have been banged u go wan bang d person sister wey bang ur sister.

I did everything on this list plus my own list.
I stole the baby milk alot.

I nearly burnt the kitchen first time I rolled paper and tried to smoke it.
I even stole my mama one kobo coins and spent it like a superstar in school then come back home to get the beating.
I used paper to make sunglasses and put yellow or red sweet wrappers to make the lenses.
I played POLICE AND THIEF, BojuBoju, Rubber, with the boys, Played chinco, TENTEN, suwe with the girls.
I wrote my name on paper and put it in my pen, and i did the same for your pen too to make it mine.... LOL.
I suck my ink so that it can come back to being brand new, then the ink would break up in the pen.
If I eat mango, I see that bug in the seed if not e nova finish.
I had a serious crush on my teacher back then, aunty Joy and another one i will not name because her son is my padi and he fit kill me.. LOL..
I made boats with paper with my friends and put them in the gutter when the rain stopped falling.
I cant forget when I successfully made a kite that successfully flew.
I used paper to make big wrist watches back then, now am spending over 40K on a single watch.
I used to attach long rope to two match boxes and talk so the next person can hear me... Today, I am a communications engineer.
