E pain am sotey he go research about the history of infomie grin

Actually when people refer to any individual as an indomie generation,it means the person is young,naieve and ignorant of WHAT HE SHOULD KNOW OR IS EXPECTED TO KNOW

You know how millennials are.young,dumb, entitled,lazy yet they always think they're smarter than king Solomon.those are what characterize indomie generation


Then again you know indomie is just 2 minutes?,they want to do/have everything fast without taking the patience to go through the process and learn

Bottom line sha is that anyone that has childish behaviour or displays little knowledge of history and it shows is what they call indomie generation.for example if I am discussing with a friend and I say I enjoy the music syncro system and millennials interject and say who sang syncro system or who sang redemption song, or doesn't know that once upon a time in Nigerian history MTN SIM or mobile phones were only used by the elites and mercedes Benz were only used by big boys or rich men's kids to woo girls on campus.i'Il quickly know this one is an indomie generation child grin

One of the indomie generation child is below me.he just proved my point aptly of the reasoning and characteristics of an indomie generation grin

And yes the society was better then because we could leave our kids with neighbors and go to the market without fear of anything.anyone that tries it now,na sorry be him name,we could close our doors without padlocking or fencing it yet nobody will steal our stuffs

We could buy stuffs from market women and drop the money on the wares and whenever the owner of the product comes she will pick her money because people lived with CONTENTMENT AND MODESTY grin

Those days you could take 100 naira to the market and stock up your kitchen to the brim because food was cheap.eggs were 10 Naira,small coke was 15 Naira and the big one was 25 naira

With 30naira you can enter molue from mile 2 to festac

Festac was a peaceful, tranquil and safe haven before it became a den of pickpockets,armed robbers,kidnappers and Yahoo boys. you can go to a relaxation joint with just 500 naira and buy drinks and pepper soup to your satisfaction even as late as 2am and you are safe.if you walk around festac by 11.54 you will be sorry for yourself.infact by 7pm shop owners are closing when it was even at that time faaji was getting started

Never did I know festac will deteriorate to the level it is now

Those days you will beg,stalk and write several letters before you can manage to see a woman's cleavage.female nudity was rare but now you can meet a girl in tfc,buy her meat pie and in the twinkle of an eye you have bleeped her without much effort

Now men don't have to leave their house before they order for vagina online and the vagina will be brought to their doorsteps with just online booking

Millennials,I hope you can now understand why the older generation are irritated with your ways and lifestyle of how you do your things.not that the older generation were saints or perfect but they do things with tact and discretion.now no single taste again

We also went to night club.they call one of the night clubs 11.45.i don't know whether it's still being operated? Even in the club they were sexy in our own standard of sexy then o but not naked or in colourful rags and bogus wigs and heinous make-up grin

Those days you could put rice of 20naira and egg 10naira into the flask of a child to school but now it is indomie they put in their food flask to school

You need to watch music videos of the 80s and 90s then compare it with the olamides,davido,dammy Krane,tiwa savage etc,then you'll understand my point and the level of deterioration



Even club girls those days had to be begged for several months or sometimes years to see the colour of her pant but these days even church girls,to enter her pant no go reach 2weeks

Then by 10pm TV station closed.it was just nta we had it will show different colours of lines before it closes and the TV shows were edifying not the ones kids cannot even watch.millenials don't even know the difference between family soap operas/family drama and soft porn

All our own entertainment didn't pass

Everyday people
Family circle
Super story
Passion
Second chance
Gardner's daughter
Secret of the sand
And nta news.but now go to MTV naked video vixens,trace,naked women, everywhere nudity and sex

Also teenagers getting pregnant was a serious abomination,they were ostracized and the parents shamed so parents really monitored their kids till they got to university.its not like now ss2 boy will be fucking jss3 girl inside the school toilet or at the back of principals office grin

Meanwhile the kid below me makes me laugh grin

If you want to recreate the old times,you can go and buy egg for 10 Naira or tell conductor you are going to mile two from agboju bustop.when you get into the bus,give him 30 naira and come back and tell me your experience wink

You can go to idumota and buy 6yards of original hollandise material for 1500 naira wink
You can do night party in ikorodu and stay there with your friends throughout the night,them come back to share your experiences

You can spend 3 thousand naira to do a big parlour birthday party with your friends
Take your kids to amusement park in Ikeja and buy candy floss for them 150 naira

Go to the saloon and do washing and setting for 150 naira wink


You can enter a cab from mile2 to idumota for 2 thousand naira wink

You can make Sunday rice and stew for 200naira that will feed the entire family and church visitors wink

You can buy expression attachment for 350naira and braid it for 700 naira wink
You can buy chewing gum for 3 ....2 naira,50kobo


You can buy pink oil for 70naira wink
Talking about music, the millennials have zero taste , power, substance and lyrics when it comes to music.nothing to gain, inspire or provoke deep thoughts from music like back in the days.their song no pass your bombom is driving me crazy,idi Araba,epon todun ,o'ndomilataro komajekinsun. grin

Though indomie was introduced into the Nigerian market 1988, nobody knew about it till mid 90's, infact 2 minutes Noodle' became popular before it. It was seen as expensive for the average Nigerian then before indomie broke into the market with cheaper prices. Even then it wasn't even considered as a meal replacement till the year 2000. So we can rightly call the millennials as the Indomie generation. wink
Indomie became popular before maggi 2minutes noodles. When indomie bacame popular especially with the "my indomie noodles advert", nestle also tried to break into the noodles industry via the 2minute noodles to share some of the success. But indomie still beat it out of the compétition as there was something about thé 2minutes noodles taste that wasnt just right.

You are angry and I can feel it.

Unfortunately, those who call you Indomie generation are the worst hit. They grew up at the tail end of Nigeria having hope and greatness into a messed up hopeless society.

Those who destroyed Nigeria will not call you Indomie generation. They will call you "children".

As per changing the Nigeria as a result of knowledge acquired through reading: this is not possible again because knowledge without facilities, tools and environment is not useful for anything except self preservation and survival.

Is it your fault to be an Indomie generation? Certainly not!
It's about the society we all have found ourselves in. The difference is that Indomie generation do not have any reference to when the society was still sane.

This is the summary of this whole discussion
Comparing society then as a kid with what I see all around now. I always weep in my soul.
Society was sane. Now we here all manner of evil.

That's a term created by the self-righteous, self-important and incredibly arrogant older generation who grew up in the 60s-80s/very early 90s and are still stuck in their era and think that modern music, clothes and trends are shït. They are always caught saying "back in the days when the times were good" or "back when the society was still sane", they hate social media, teenagers, pop culture and they feel like they are better than everyone else. They can't accept the fact their generation is becoming irrelevant, they refuse to retire and pass the torch to the succeeding generations. They are self-conscious and insecure about their own advancing age, so they address 20 -somethings and teens as children in order to feel "young". They feel like because they played with sand as opposed to iPhones and tabs while growing up, they have higher intellectual capacities or something but that's BS. They are a hypocritical and arrogant generation that tries to discredit younger generations and tags them as lazy, dumb etc etc but it really ain't our fault that we are little privileged unicorns wink They feel they are better than everyone else because they played with certain toys, listened to certain music, lived a certain way of life and had certain experiences which thankfully cannot be recreated in modern times

So, what exactly makes one an indomie generation?

Anybody that was less than 5 years old in 1990 when Indomie became popular in Nigeria (it was introduced in 1988, but it didn't become popular until 1990-1993) is a member of the Indomie generation.

From c1990 onwards many parents fed their toddlers Indomie. It became a regular part of a Nigerian toddler's diet.

Indomie generation is used to describe those who didn't know these but are loud mouthed in giving myopic comments about National affairs that has to do with history.

It has nothing to do with lack of intelligence (for isn't a function of age)

You Could Never B More Right Than This!!

dangotesmummy:
Op is in very sifiaaa pains.E pain am sotey he go research about the history of Indomie grin

Actually when people refer to any individual as an indomie generation,it means the person is young,naieve and ignorant of WHAT HE SHOULD KNOW OR IS EXPECTED TO KNOW

You know how millennials are.young,dumb, entitled,lazy yet they always think they're smarter than king Solomon.those are what characterize indomie generation


Then again you know indomie is just 2 minutes?,they want to do/have everything fast without taking the patience to go through the process and learn

Bottom line sha is that anyone that has childish behaviour or displays little knowledge of history and it shows is what they call indomie generation.for example if I am discussing with a friend and I say I enjoy the music syncro system and millennials interject and say who sang syncro system or who sang redemption song, or doesn't know that once upon a time in Nigerian history MTN SIM or mobile phones were only used by the elites and mercedes Benz were only used by big boys or rich men's kids to woo girls on campus.i'Il quickly know this one is an indomie generation child grin

One of the indomie generation child is below me.he just proved my point aptly of the reasoning and characteristics of an indomie generation grin

And yes the society was better then because we could leave our kids with neighbors and go to the market without fear of anything.anyone that tries it now,na sorry be him name,we could close our doors without padlocking or fencing it yet nobody will steal our stuffs

We could buy stuffs from market women and drop the money on the wares and whenever the owner of the product comes she will pick her money because people lived with CONTENTMENT AND MODESTY grin

Those days you could take 100 naira to the market and stock up your kitchen to the brim because food was cheap.eggs were 10 Naira,small coke was 15 Naira and the big one was 25 naira

With 30naira you can enter molue from mile 2 to festac

Festac was a peaceful, tranquil and safe haven before it became a den of pickpockets,armed robbers,kidnappers and Yahoo boys. you can go to a relaxation joint with just 500 naira and buy drinks and pepper soup to your satisfaction even as late as 2am and you are safe.if you walk around festac by 11.54 you will be sorry for yourself.infact by 7pm shop owners are closing when it was even at that time faaji was getting started

Never did I know festac will deteriorate to the level it is now

Those days you will beg,stalk and write several letters before you can manage to see a woman's cleavage.female nudity was rare but now you can meet a girl in tfc,buy her meat pie and in the twinkle of an eye you have bleeped her without much effort

Now men don't have to leave their house before they order for vagina online and the vagina will be brought to their doorsteps with just online booking

Millennials,I hope you can now understand why the older generation are irritated with your ways and lifestyle of how you do your things.not that the older generation were saints or perfect but they do things with tact and discretion.now no single taste again

We also went to night club.they call one of the night clubs 11.45.i don't know whether it's still being operated? Even in the club they were sexy in our own standard of sexy then o but not naked or in colourful rags and bogus wigs and heinous make-up grin

Those days you could put rice of 20naira and egg 10naira into the flask of a child to school but now it is indomie they put in their food flask to school

You need to watch music videos of the 80s and 90s then compare it with the olamides,davido,dammy Krane,tiwa savage etc,then you'll understand my point and the level of deterioration



Even club girls those days had to be begged for several months or sometimes years to see the colour of her pant but these days even church girls,to enter her pant no go reach 2weeks

Then by 10pm TV station closed.it was just nta we had it will show different colours of lines before it closes and the TV shows were edifying not the ones kids cannot even watch.millenials don't even know the difference between family soap operas/family drama and soft porn

All our own entertainment didn't pass

Everyday people
Family circle
Super story
Passion
Second chance
Gardner's daughter
Secret of the sand
And nta news.but now go to MTV naked video vixens,trace,naked women, everywhere nudity and sex

Also teenagers getting pregnant was a serious abomination,they were ostracized and the parents shamed so parents really monitored their kids till they got to university.its not like now ss2 boy will be fucking jss3 girl inside the school toilet or at the back of principals office grin

Meanwhile the kid below me makes me laugh grin

If you want to recreate the old times,you can go and buy egg for 10 Naira or tell conductor you are going to mile two from agboju bustop.when you get into the bus,give him 30 naira and come back and tell me your experience wink

You can go to idumota and buy 6yards of original hollandise material for 1500 naira wink
You can do night party in ikorodu and stay there with your friends throughout the night,them come back to share your experiences

You can spend 3 thousand naira to do a big parlour birthday party with your friends
Take your kids to amusement park in Ikeja and buy candy floss for them 150 naira

Go to the saloon and do washing and setting for 150 naira wink


You can enter a cab from mile2 to idumota for 2 thousand naira wink

You can make Sunday rice and stew for 200naira that will feed the entire family and church visitors wink

You can buy expression attachment for 350naira and braid it for 700 naira wink
You can buy chewing gum for 3 ....2 naira,50kobo


You can buy pink oil for 70naira wink
Talking about music, the millennials have zero taste , power, substance and lyrics when it comes to music.nothing to gain, inspire or provoke deep thoughts from music like back in the days.their song no pass your bombom is driving me crazy,idi Araba,epon todun ,o'ndomilataro komajekinsun. grin

No let me open Una Yash finish o grin

That's just a taste of the iceberg,no put hand for my mouth o grin


Oga u talk all dis wan finish na im u say make Dem nor put hand for ya mouth? Say na just tip of the iceberg?

U ho wicked for real life o! grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

I remember using the nylon wrapper of Lucozade drink for the black and white tv, just to make it look as if it's coloured tv.
What happened to the bottled Lucozade drink?

You must certainly be an "Indomie generation". Anyone who is NOT an Indomie generation know that there was an unprecedented change in the Nigerian society from the 90s. If you were not at least 5years old by then, you CANNOT know.

Did your parent lock the TV with keys for you?
Did NTA and other TV station open at 4pm and close by 12am?
Do you know Frank Olize.
Have you ever witnessed the acrobatic riders that followed military government entourage?
Do you know how military coups have been done in Nigeria?
Have you ever witnessed a firing squad in operation?
Have you ever operated a coin operated phone in Nigeria (at NITEL or Post Office)?

Indomie generation is used to describe those who didn't know these but are loud mouthed in giving myopic comments about National affairs that has to do with history.

It has nothing to do with lack of intelligence (for isn't a function of age)
We are on the same page. Nna mehn.

Those who walk on the street with their eyes on the phone, ears covered with earphones and the left hand holding a bottle of coke, I've almost knocked down as they don't look before they cross the street, they are very impatient too they want a drug you prescribe for malaria that is taken for 3 days to cure them in 3 hours.
What happened to those promo caps that comes with radio?
