Some of us rocked our childhood in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Good old days,sweet memories. Days of Ten Ten. Days where we treated ourselves like family 👪 Days of licking ice cream tied in polythene bag. No Fast Food. Agidi jollof with enough biscuit bone 😋

Days of No bottled water,but nylon water instead 😆
To even drink water from tap dey sweet pass
We enjoyed trekking to school in groups 😀
Licking baba dudu while gisting on the road

We had no fear,only injections scared us the most at that time. We dare not disrespect our elders,ah hot slap await us
No mobile phones. Riding our tyres and playing under the rain to the rescue .The fear of turning into Yam as told by our parents would not allow us to collect anything from strangers

We would read lots of interesting books
Like Edet lives in Calabar,the gods are not to blame,Eze goes to school etc. Our books then was published by ONWARD

We had our own definition of ONWARD BIG EXERCISE (Olo Na Witch After Reading Devil Bible In Ghana, Eze times Eze, Rice Costumer Is Selling Eba) Wow,I enjoyed my childhood days

And for the ladies especially my dear momma and sisters back then, Saturday night powder is a must-have hand bag acessory. I still remember with nostalgic feeling when the blue band margarine is one of the most relished item on the breakfast table. Those good old days wherein our parents provide us some bits of luxury without sweat or pain.

There are certain things, which you need not think about anymore in this country so that you won't go crazy! Why did they allow all of this to crumble on their watch in the first place? I always pity the present generation. Hummmn

Omoh,these photos just brought back some fvcking memories

That blue band had a very Unique aroma then......The sugar cube was top-notch........

There's a special feeling you get then when that sugar is melting in your mouth.

St Louis sugar!

It's been a long time since I last saw that sugar brand.
Don't know if it's still in our market spaces though...

The best breakfast for the season

How can i relish what i do not know

I regret not taking a lot of photos back then.

Color photos were expensive for me.
I lost all the photos I uploaded on Facebook around 2011. Facebook banned the account because I was adding too much friends.


I saved some on Eskimi.com. they have sold the site
I regret it .

Today I save pictures everywhere, iCloud, Nairaland, Facebook,drive, terabox

Memories by Maroon 5
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

Everything is now luxury in Nigeria ...

Those days we have fewer things but were mostly happy and contented. Today we have more gadgets and things yet more wahala

Good old days. Interesting how there was less division among the people. I grew up in Festac and everybody was friends with everybody.

The only brand in the world that doesn't run adverts, yet is marketable everywhere.

It is still very much available

Old good memories

Pass tense

The good old days are gone for good. This present generation will wish for this very moment we are lamenting now.

Good old days.
