That coin shading ehhn. I used to collect coins from my dad and his friends when he was still working in the airport. Plus we'd also make paper boats and set it in the water run offs whenever it rains

Gen Z will never greet you first untill you greet them first and they always want to challenge status quo with the Little knowledge and experience.

This article brought laughter and tears at the same time.
Laughter because then, we were one indivisible entity that watched out for each other with a fulfilled experience as kids.

Tears because this "get inside" Generation will never get to experience what we felt.

80s kids must be babies born in the 70s and later turned to kids in the 1980s. Incorrect headline!

I never knew of the concept of stress or a stressful situation.
I either drew in my drawing book or went out to play.
I never understood why some people chewed their pencils. It was and still is unhygenic if not poisonous. We have food in our house. Why would I be trying to eat pencil?

I was born in the 2000s and I witnessed all of these. The way you write off Gen Z is pathetic.
You guys came when Nigeria had spoiled.
You didn't meet landline phones in the home provided by Nitel. You came and saw GSM and thought that's how the world has always been.
You didn't meet our KOBO coins. You never used them in a phone booth on the road. You don't even know what a phone booth is
You didn't meet pipe borne water in the house. You met sachet pure water and assumed that's how it always was.
You didn't meet 3 channels ONLY on TV, yet everybody was satisfied and followed the same stories and same cartoons. You met cable and 100+ random channels and everybody watching different things and nobody being able to discuss with another person as no 2 people follow same stories.
Social media, #Twitter, was invented so that people could ### same topic and discuss same topic. And with social media came widespread pornography.
But we were discussing same topic without social media and no pornography.

You didn't meet unity.
You met disunity.
I'm just saying.

Days of Nostalgia,

Those Days Christmas used to be very fun...Its as if Jesus was actually with us live. While we merry with him. No one ever goes hungry on Christmas day...neighbors share delicious rice and stew with each other..." my mama go cook rice give me and my siblings to share, as we dey share na so dem neighbors go dey show us Christmas love (in money or gifts).. Now things don over Change.

Those days, Boys were conditioned to be strong... " we channel over energies into Gidigbo fights, Police and thief, Catcher, ojuju calabar etc)... Not now where na sex sex and porn contents full many young boys head
