Since most of the African countries got their independence from the whites things have really changed, there have been vast improvement in everything around us ranging from our way of life e.g(culture) to our environment,most things we're prone to see in the late 80's and 90's have been replaced interchangeably with the modern ones some of which are mud houses for the brick ones, black and white tv for the colored plasma tv and so forth.

Vast improvement in our way of life is a welcomed development but when we ought to forget our own culture in place of another man's own is quite unfair and harmful to our future generations, even the so called whites that we seems to emulate have something called museums where they safe-keep their cultural materials, art works and others just for future reference simply because they know that as they advance towards better development there's still need for future research which might call for reference to those artifacts.

Here is images of some of the things we Africans do in the 80's that are now hard to see among our people must especially in the cities, so for the sake of the young ones lets have fun as we share them, discuss and make references.

Your contributions are important though.

Sincerely I don old. I can relate to every every

Na wa ooo...
Picture 1.. Dat year if U were not a friend to any child in dat house u won't even b allowed to watch from d window and if any of una don offend any of d children in d house, dey will jejely com and close d curtain sef. D boys in dat house are always automatically selected first for monkey post football whether dem sabi play or not otherwise no TV for una.. It's always worse wen d owner of d ball is also d owner of d TV.

Picture 2
Jus allow dem pull una so dem fall...

Picture 3
Dat rain football dat year no dey get goalposts or defined area becos if anybody patch u dat ball for body, U'll understand d meaning of pain.. I learnt my own lesson during a penalty kick in d rain... I was stupid enough to believe I was Peter Rufai until d shot landed on my face.. I saw darkness and got more beating wen I got home

in my elementary rainy day was the best days back then you'll got to play football till closing time no lecture even though its stops

watching TV you must prepare to receive all serial of knocks... back then TV owners even have a fair share of our heads more than our parent

Nooo

Yeah... Almost all of them, those days ehn... To sit in the room comfortably with my elder brothers and watch television was just like telling Pdp to support Apc..

The funny thing about watching movie in someone's house is that we have our own TV but its fun watching it with a lot people elsewhere

But I will never forget one day I was watching through the window as usual, when their uncle that came to visit, said I should leave the window and to our house but being the stubborn kid that I was I refused to go, when the man checks the window to see if I was still there I will hide, when he leaves I will still go back.

Not knowing he was also hiding behind the curtain, I peeped again only to be met with the beating of my life.

Since that day up till tomorrow, I don't go to people's house.

I was born in the 80s. No 1, No No my dad had black and white TV & turner disc or what is it called? No 2, issa yes yes. No 3, No playing in the rain for my siblings and I. No 4, what's that No 5,6&7 issa No...
