Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid blow up like the World Trade
Born sinner the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner

Twale for you bros, this line at the bolded speak volume and B.I.G predicted about this world trade which was blown by the terrorists Osama I think around 2001

NTA was the most viewed TV station.
Relationships in those days were true. (Not all about money)
Trekking was a normal thing.
Every elder was respected.

That's because Dodan Barracks is made up of many different things.

I remember how difficult it was to explain this to people in the 1980s. Some people thought that the president lived in a regular army barracks.

There was State House Ribadu Road (that's the Presidency).

There were 2 sections of Dodan Barracks (the army barracks)

There was Mopol 2

Etc.


It was fun when you look back at it, but it wasn't as much fun on the day. It was more surreal. I couldn't understand why people were doing normal things like playing football and delivering newspapers when there was a war not far away.

So yes, the Ribadu end of it looked the part. And I eventually got to understand that that was were the Presidency operated from. Even till this day, you approach that area with caution. But like many of the people you explained to, I thought IBB lived in the regular barracks and could not fathom how that was plausible. My only explanation was that very high mult-layer security screens were put in place. Which further made me enthralled about the Dodan. When I eventually understood that Dodan and the Presidency were just neighbors, Dodan Barracks lost all its luster and allure. But the name still brings back a lot of fond memories. Suffice it to say I'm a big IBB fan

Don't talk about this Baggio goal again. I was a small girl then but I love football, Kai! I was watching at a friend's house, there was a party going on in his house. Then first half finished. I knew I couldn't stay and watch second half. By the time they would finish the second half, I would have stayed too long outside; and my my mum would kill me. I don't want to miss any part of the game...There was only one thing to do if I had to get home in 15 minutes.
So from Oyingbo to Yaba, I half trekked, half ran home. I made it only for Baggio to kill my joy. I couldn't eat dinner that day. I cried and nobody could console me. Since then till tomorrow, I lost faith in The Super Eagles. Give me my Arsenal anyday, anytime.
