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 the kids playing it then was like a iron. Playing with barefooted legs.

This post touched me. How did we get here as a people, especially here on nairaland.

Funny enough the politicians are happy and benefiting from the tribal hatred, disunity and religious sentiments, part of the reason NLC and other groups that are supposed to put the government in check are now toothless

I used to own one those days, friends would beg me never to get tired, cus my tiredness means the final whistle.

I remember playing with my good friend Chikwado and Monday.
It's not actually Kpako ball. It was just a durable children ball.

Could not agree more.
To an extent, it is still like that.
Just that social media makes a lot of people think Nigerians in the real world are all living with beef.
