Share these unique experience of time long past. The experiences of days when men and women were boys and girls respectively. For me I remember growing up in Akoka,Lagos. I remember the tradition of going to Bar beach every 2 weeks. I remember looking forward to the next shopping date at kingsway,domino and leventis stores. I remember those days of staying glue to the tv watching the rich also cry and our own Checkmate etc. I remember the reigning songs of blacky,ras kimono,mandators and junior and pretty. I remember those regular family meetings that members make it a must to attend inspite of there busy schedule. I have loads of great memories and Nigeria was a whole lot better then. Share yours too. |

Going to the park. . .those days it still had grass  Picnics that ended with us playing Indians and Cowboys or Cops and Robbers Climbing our house. . .outer part and inner part. We believed we were superheroes with powers Jumping from the water tank into the other compound over the bottled fence A cousin cut his foot from end to end twice. Disappearing for most of the day on our adventures and coming home to chop beatings Never works.Attempting to swim across the flooded stream and nearly being swept away. . .did it every rainy season. If only our parents knew!  Playing ludo and whot competition, which last about 6hours. Staying up all night watching movies. . .we made a point to watch about 5 a day. Our video club was really happy with our membership Swimming 8hrs every summer nights. . .truly one of my best time growing up. Using a baby crib to speed down the untarred roads riddled with potholes. We were hellions growing up . |

Memories are thoughts and dreams of the past that reside in our own minds. I say come to the present where we exist in reality. Love the ones who are here and now. Don't spend to much time dreaming or living in the past or future. That world only exist in our minds. |

Yes i very much agree that it is much better to life in the present for the future but many a time we take inventory of our life journey and we like it or not the past has to be referred to on some occasions. The sweet life we might have lived in the past we would try to maintain or replicated and the bad doings of the past we would try to correct or stop. We like it or not,the past still remain a minute part of every man. Memories are want we try to do without but it always remain there. |
