How can you stop at 1980? Even up to the 90s and 2000s these equipment were highly relevant.

You see that cutlass, back in my day we would bend the tip to form a curve so we can cut stubborn grass. Elephant grass was easy to cut but that stubborn grass is truly stubborn. If you hit it your cutlass will bounce.

That metal bucket once caused a ring to form on my scalp because we had to go a very long distance to fetch water.

I have hidden inside that black and red box to hide from a very wicked senior prefect.

Federal Government Colleges of the old days no be beans.

Good old days.

That metal box is evil. If you make it through the term without misplacing your keys and breaking that mofo... Alamdudilahi.

The charcoal iron? That's the MVP. To make our house check uniform stand out those days, we'd rub Vaseline all over and smear it with hot iron. 😂

If your iron bucket never injured you, you must be an astronaut by now. That bucket..
