Funny how time flies


Funny thing is that there will be new invention that will make what we cherish today look obsolete

The good old days.

Indomie generation don't know this

That was in the good old days, when girls were virgins and sex was sexy.


I'm talking about the days of VHS

This business was very lucrative back then but unfortunately Alaba boys pirating put sand sand for their garri... .

Piracy favoured them.
The intellectual property owners were the most hit.

It didn't favour them much because immediately piracy gained enough ground people didn't see the need to go about renting from them anymore when they could just buy and own a CD for #100, mind you before piracy a CD cost at least #1000 or so which was why people go out to rent from these guys back then. Meanwhile one could pick about 5 movie CDs and and not pay up to #500 for 3days or so.

Whatsoever you're good at today, make sure you always update yourself to keep up with the latest developments. Otherwise in 5 years time, that lucrative business of yours could become as relevant as this video rental shops today

I remember when I would buy a movie like this when going home from school and I will meet another movie inside

I go just watch am like that,most times sef e dey sweet pass the one wey I wan buy fess

Chineke...Videonet (iyana ipaja) damnmm, oti pe gan!

My brother wow! Even That comedian Acapella did this business in those days.

The thing wey dey pain passed be say u go rental shop only for you to see say na the cover remain, cos person Don borrow am. Na to pick another one.

Time eroded the business. Life continues.

See how my little friends go full our house that year if my papa rent us new movies to see, and Nah ones in two weeks self, we go dey watch the ones way we already get for house repeatedly until master all the lines in the movies,
