But was it really about the money?. I don't think it was.
Personally, I never bought it but I played it a lot. Back then we played what ever ball our pals brought. It was all for the fun.

Sometimes, we had 5 or 6 different balls flying around. We kicked any that came near.

Actually, I was trying to point to the fact that leather balls were also available then but not as cheap to keep around by some of us like the plastic one back then

Correct.

There's another one that made of rubber/gum. it bounce anyhow when you hit it on the floor or at any object.

True.
Chai.

I can't remember the name of that one though.
Yes, it was made from raw tapped rubber, I think; with gum to hold it all together. At least, that was what I always thought of it.

I still wonder where my classmates fetched it from.

In my university days, my friend and I were recounting our childhood memories, my friend can act like a tomboy at times. She told me of her experience acting as the keeper in a football game. (The other players were boys) That time, she just started to blossom in the chest region. That was when one of the players fired this boolu onike shot and it landed right on her chest Gbam! Her legs wobbled under her weight and down she goes. They carried her off the pitch and that incidence ended her football career. Infact, she no wan hear Man U or Arsenal since then.

Chai I can just imagine how she must have felt.

That was when Nigeria was called Nigeria with one love. U were not bother about whom you were playing with. No Fulani no Hausa, no Ibo, . Your next neighbor may be any tribe ,you all played together. Bolu onike I salute. Very strong, The legs of those kids playing it then was like a iron. Playing with barefooted legs.
