caye: The days of Cadbury's breakfast telly!

I so loved Saturdays for this: Cadbury's Breakfast Television, "A whole new dimension to family entertainment". Where u had the Batman, Superman and Spiderman and probably Telehawk. O sweet memories...

the days of ten ten, suwe games. The days of sega game, international super star delux, d days of brick games, the days of throwing hand rubber games, d days of black and white tv, d days of playing ball wit pants. The days of raskimono n orist wiliki. The days of nta2 channel 5, dbn wit movies every afternoon.... Many more of those days

Oh, I do miss tales by moonlight and sesame street, when we made our colored tv by covering the black and whye with the orange wrapper of lucozade!

DMainMan:
Also not forgeting TV programs like Secrets of the sand, the rich also cries, Maria de Los angeles. Men! Those story was sweet.

Kai! Aw can I forget Atlanta, Nigeria vs Brasil midnite when We won by golden goal by Kanu. It was like morning. See jubilation all round my ares. No one sleep at home all of us in the surrounding became one.

But now this days, we hear lots of negative stuffs by kids. Are de to be blamed. No more educative programs, no more cartoon for them, no more kiddies show by TV, no more programs dat teach children to be morally good just like Tales by moonlight.

I am not surprised kids failing dere exams and doing lots of rubbish seen as a norm on TV

Mehn i rmemba! Maria de Los Angeles and also Wild Rose (Rosa) used to come up after our bedtime so we would sneak to the palour and be watching it with no volume at all so that my mom would not hear that the t.v was on!

And the Atlanta 96 olympics final match is a day i will NEVER forget.Our dramatic equalizer and Kanu's golden goal. My whole street was like a carnival at 1am that nite. That day i was so proud to be Nigerian. I feel like crying thinking of the memories.

i can't help but comment.
i miss the days of ''After the storm''
i miss those days where wheels were used for riding not ear-rings as what we have today.
i miss those days of ''One big family''
those days of ''candle light''
i miss those days of bottle top ball(counters ball)
those days of of ''Agbo lives in the town of Lagoon''

Ali and Simbi. .
Mr. Sada is a farmer!!

the days you wrap your new text books with brown paper and never bother to open them again.
the days you lap yourselves on public transport or sit on the engine( like sitting on hot kettle)
the days when lennards and bata shoes are the swag
the days when your dad's best suit flap is like moinmoin leaves
the days when you fear your teachers more than your parents
the days when punishment has meaning like stood down( not go to devils corner these days)
the days when your compare marks of beatings on your bodies with friends.

McAdem: [b]Oh! How I miss those days in Naija. Thinking about it makes tears well up in my eyes and bring laughter to my face. I was born in 1988 in Naija but there are some moments i remember and my face lights up. I miss this days:

@OP, You meant you were born in 1978 and not 1988? Most of the things you mentioned surely occured in the 80's.
