Growing up: Do you remember eating this? Share your experience.


We call it esunsun(Dont no the English), they fly around in the night during rainy season and they're attracted to fluorescent bulbs, halogen lamps and so on. We capture them using brooms, we put them in bowl/bucket of water and fry with salt, pepper etc.
Ate it today, delicious....

This what people say when they have no superior argument. History is there and the fact remains that Gowon caused the war by going against the Aburi agreement he signed in Ghana

Your mission to derail this thread with your propaganda will NOT succeed. Abeg, swerve! Explorer, resume your posts please.

A bottle of 35cl coke was just N1 in 1990 if my memory serves me well.You wouldn't even buy teabags of lipton way back then,you would buy a pack.One naira could buy stuffs then.A DC comic then at utc stores,dugbe in ibadan was 6naira and a tintin comic was 25naira.The last time i saw tintin comic at shoprite,it was 1600naira.even with my humble background,i could save money and buy those things on my own as a child.i just pity today's kids with humble backgrounds.

37 .It's just that the rate at which things nosedived saddens me and makes me feel I am no longer in the same country where i grew up,though even then i didnt think i was living in a good society,but then things were cheap and power supply was good.I am talking about early 90s nigeria.Now explorer's thread shows us it was even better in the 60s and 70s.

Thanks for your response. I understand what you mean. I truly do. I pray Nigeria gets better soon, for all of us.

obaaderemi:
Tribalism happened to it.But I like to believe that january 1966 coup did us a lot of hurt,and the civil war too.

The Civil war was just an excuse to openly show how much hate the different tribes had for themselves.

This clip of Ahmadu Bello talking on job opportunity to southerners made me realize there was never a country. Maybe Southern Nigerian could have been one.
