This picture gives me a nostalgic feeling of how kids born in the 80s dealt with stressful situations. Fondest memories.
I did coin shading but I never knew I was relieving stress. I didn't bit pen cover because I saw a lot of people used it to clean ear, cotton bud wasn't popular then.

There was no stress in the 80s. Every day was like X mas day. It was full of enjoyment in the 80s.

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.
E tire me o, my brother.
We no blame dem, children wey never carry iron bucket trek go stream to fetch water. Borehole children.
Children of 'School-run' generation.
Children wey go school with 'lunch pack'.
Dem sabi wetin Slate be?

The self entitlement mentality of these Gen Zs dey another level.

Nawa…mainly what I’m seeing on thread is unnecessary age group fight. Gen z are people born from 1997 to 2012……at least the older gen z still played games like biro game, paper football, rubber band chopping game…still watched films that were cassettes not dvds…still experienced actual life before we even bought dstv and met internertet phones in 2008….playing games on computers with ogo running on windows 95…I really don’t know what the fight is about telling someone “ you’ve not experienced it” like you gave birth to her

How exactly did someone who grew up in the 80s cause the problem in Nigeria?

How many of your previous Leaders grew up in the 80s?

Like he said the only thing you know is how to sit down on your butts and throw blames..

Your mates in Kenya are leading revolutions and overthrowing governments..
Re: Throwback: How 80s Kids Dealt With Stress (Picture) by Damian911: 5:43pm On Dec 25, 2024
No be una vote APC ? During your so called days, was things as difficult as this? You are talking about revolution, why didn't you spearhead one during your days? If you did we wouldn't be here today is it now that power has been fully consolidated in the hands of an evil party that your goddam generation brought upon us that a revolution can be successful? End sars comes to mind. The way you're talking is seriously irritating me like I said earlier don't add to my anger this evening

This show of gatekeeping, elitism and invalidation is what makes most of you people happy. I understand this can stem from your insecurities and a need to affirm value by elevating your experienes above the younger generations. It is a common trait with your generation, yet you whine about GenZ.

It's irritating and I'd expect better from you guys.
