Let the Dakolo's speak on this, let's know if it's true or not.

This kinda read like a nollywood movie.

JeromeBlack:
Allnaijablogger is my cousin. Nairalanders did not attend the event. Except for one babe

oh yeah. Small world. Your cousin is my friend.

Where is he, he's been very inactive here for a very long time.

JeromeBlack:
Cinemas always had appeal. There were cinemas in the 80s in Nigeria that were booming. I remember my uncles talking about cinema.house back in the day.

Gaming has always been niche. And our culture does not foster gaming. People here look at gamers as irresponsible. Ishilove can verify that for you.

My gaming event was in GRA Ikeja. Funny enough, it was walking distance to one former gaming arcade mentioned here

which spot in GRA? I remember another nairalander (allnaijablogger) doing something like what you did sometime back and Nairalanders attended.

Octopusssy:
Shoyuken! No matter how I hard i fought, I still managed to get whopped in the first 2 minutes of the combat.

I lived in this era and still didn't enjoy City Hunter.

you lived in the era but the era didn't live in you.

You weren't a truant back in secondary school. Lol

JeromeBlack:
You would only attract youngsters. Nigeria doesn't really have a gaming culture.

I and a business associate organised a free gaming event for nairaland. Free drinks, free food.

Can you imagine that not one single gamer from nairaland came. Girls came for the drinks and food. The guys that came were already in my network.

I wanted to set up an arcade but that dream is dead. Na only mouth nairalanders get.

I don't think so bro. If a place like that is set up people will come, not just young stars but adults too. There are adults out there who lived in the era of arcades who still want to relive it now.

Nigeria have a gaming culture same way Nigeria have an anime culture. People play games just as much as they watch anime bro.

I bet before cinemas came to Nigeria people believed it won't make profit because they can easily watch movies in the confine of their homes.

If such a place could be resident in a place like ICM, people will come, it's as easy as that.

Where was the venue of your Nairaland gaming get together?

Atiku is still cumming

no be only Cumming, na pissing.

I've said it countless times that many of our politicians are or really smart. The only reason why the appear smart is because of their propensity to perpetuate violent acts.

armadeo:
I've played many variations to the game but I still like the sf2 turbo and soft best. Though the graphics aren't as good as today's own.

Good old days saving hucks to play games. Zoeys chop boys money that year.

that used to be my favourite till street fighter ex plus alpha and street fighter ex 2 plus came out. Till this very day, both games are my favourite.

How I wish things could be like the good old days. It'll be nice to have such game houses around today. I'm yet to see a place where they play arcade in Lagos.

Opening such a place will be capital intensive though.

Marvellous. That's all I can say. It's now a cinch that Burna Boy is my favourite Nigerian artist.

armadeo:
Dude you used to hit those places too. Men zoeys on Allen, raiders in gra opposite country club then. Then another arcade close by.

Raiders or so was the first to have mortal kombat then.

that was Mega Games. I rocked those places like my very life depended on it. Even till this very day, I can still play street Fighter like it was back in the day.

Octopusssy:
Who recommended City Hunter??

Mekaprime did and I second it. You won't really enjoy it if you didn't live in the era of Zoeys, Raiders, Hecters (hope I spelt it right) and Mega Games. That's when Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, King of Fighters was in vogue.

Octopusssy:
I see Jet Li now and I feel bad. The fellow has drastically changed.

well its proof nothing last forever. The thing is to enjoy life while you have the strength and stamina to.

Sexytemi:
Yes o.
Time really does fly fast.

enjoy yourself.

Sexytemi:
I'm good and you?
Yea, it surely is.

I'm awesome.

Seems you're not a student anymore. How time flies.

Sexytemi:
Awwww, is that so. If girls are cheap over there, i don't think i'm part of those girls.
Don't think like a fool, but instead use for f****ing brain. Not all ladies are for sale.

how are you? It's Ben quite sometime.

I've always said the EFCC doesn't have anything to do. If corruption is what they're actually fighting, they should start with both the federal and state civil service. That's where they'll find those who are not only corrupt, but those who really teach our politicians how to loot and plunder the country.

What! Nigeria is already producing graduates who can't speak English. A visit to the north and you'll get first hand evidence

We should ask him how he came about his findings.
