Kobojunkie:"Your mind go dey" is just a slang. It has nothing to do with mental illness or you losing your mind in the past, and I honestly wouldn't want it to happen a third time. But please don't let me stop you from talking about what you went through. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

I will be really surprised to see that age bracket here in Nairaland... Graduate of 1984? |

1960 to 1983 was the golden age of Nigeria. Those lucky enough to be educated and have come of age in Nigeria then, do not and has never known the meaning of hardship. They were the rulers and are still the rulers and controllers of Nigeria. They sold themselves to neocolonialism and refused to be defiant and remake the new country they inherited in a way that benefits the masses. They are all confused psychologically and they lack self-esteem. These are people brainwashed by the white colonialists or traumatized by the psychological oppression of racist colonialism. Anyone coming of age between 1984 and 2000 would have known the meaning of hell on earth. This breed are very rugged and sort of resigned or adapted to hardship. The millennial generation are similar to the first independence generation in the abundance of opportunities for self- realization and social renewal, but such opportunities come as two edged swords which the holder may use to obliterate themselves if care is not taken. Money may be made from internet connectivity, but because it appears easier and quicker, financial crime and Ponzi may be chosen. Random browsing on Internet and social media communication technology may weed out focused research and development of creative thinking etc. With recent trends, the millennial generation, despite the abundant opportunities, appear to be yet another lost generation of Nigerians. Alas! The beautiful ones are not yet born. 29 Likes 5 Shares |

holocron: Interesting how that period was the golden age of Nigeria when over three million Igbos died as a result of the Civil war. Or were Igbos not part Nigeria then or didn't enjoy this so-called "golden era"? 4 Likes |

Gerrard59: What's all this Igbo this Igbo that. We are talking of Nigeria made up of 250 ethnic groups and you are bringing up Igbo matter. The Biafra war only occured in the south east alone, while the rest of Nigeria were enjoying peace and development - and only for 3 years out of a 20 year period we are talking about. You Igbos should get over your self importance. Nigeria will continue to exist with or without Igbos. 15 Likes |

You need past question? Well, you cannot see o. 9ja was liveable for them when they were in our age. We are even trying self, coz they see us as a survivor, you know why? Because they didn't experience all these we are experiencing now in their own time. |

Things were almost as hard as they are today but we had less distractions. We were a lot more disciplined and focused than this present generation. I can tell you that for free. 2 Likes |

Things were quite cheap that time..my school fees were #3,400 in my final year. I also realised there was no single male student on campus who pierced his ears or wore studs. None of us also plaited our hair as you have today. Most of our ladies were always in skirts...almost 90% of them. In short, there was decorum Though we had it rough and though communicating. No gsm, no social media. We were always queuing at Nitel to call our family members. No Internet banking as we were always carrying cash about . These were the challenges we faced. There was food, clothing and security. We could travel anytime we chose. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Kobojunkie:Ofcourse they are. They should be in their 50s/60s. Majority of that generation did enjoyed life. Some of my lecturers then told me they all got their job after school. A young man was saying on national TV how Nigerians were doing pretty fine then. Naira is more sophisticated than the so called dollar. Graduates are being employed immediately after school with good pay. Apart from government jobs, different multinationals firm do come to pick them up. I think it was during the 80s/early 90s graduates stopped getting job immediately after school. Now, it's nothing to write home about. 9 Likes |

Please stop wasting your time by deceiving yourself. The approach was work study. That age you mentioned, 40-45, faced similar things you are facing. Grab the opportunities available to you now and reject every form of pity party. It ain't do you any good tensazangetsu20: 1 Like |

This topic is a bit funny. I'm 50 years now and all I can say is that even when I was in my 20s, older folks were still telling us tales about the good old days. I think whatever dispensation one finds himself, one just has to adopt a positive can do mindset, then put your best foot forward and hope for the best 25 Likes 2 Shares |
