Thank you all very much I have found one of the siblings so I should imagine this means I can reconnect with them.
I just want to check in on the. Ntn much
They were quite good to I and my family at a very trying time when we were young, and we would go up to their house for holidays from time to time. I’m not looking for a strong base friendship but if it comes then fine
Thank you all again

E don tey, they are probably scattered around Lagos now

Your best bet should be going back to the said location, see if you can find any traces

I also have some few childhood folks I would like to meet again but I don't even remember their names.
You just have to move on or hope you meet them one day

Hello Nairaland family,

I’m reaching out with the hope that someone might recognize or help me reconnect with my childhood friends.

They were four siblings who lived in Maza Maza, Lagos many years ago. Their names are:

Chioma (the eldest)
Mary
Moses
Chiwendu
We were very close as children, but we lost contact over the years, and I’ve been thinking about them a lot lately. Unfortunately, I don’t remember their last name, but I believe they lived in or around Maza Maza during the early 2000s.

If you are one of them or know someone who matches this description, please reach out. Or if anyone here has any ideas on how I might trace them, I would truly appreciate your help.

You can reply here or send me a private message. Thank you and God bless you all.

You’d get heartbroken if you later find them,you’d realize they don’t care about you that much anymore and life has shaped them differently…

If you really want to see them, go and contest for election. Seriously they will all look for you and find you if you win.

Which street in maza maza, it’ll help me to narrow the search

I am still learning to leave past relationships in the past. If for any reason we haven’t talked in years, i leave it up to fate to reunite us.

All the other times i have gone the extra mile to reach out, the conversation never goes beyond “long time! I am surprised to hear from you, how are you, what do you do now” and all that jazz!

After that first day or first week, the relationship dies again. So now, i don’t even bother. Even if i run into them in public, we have those conversations in person and i don’t even ask to exchange contact info. Keep it moving.

Life has taken people far and wide, physically, emotionally and mentally.

Spending time/resources looking for people like this only means you are stuck! Stuck emotionally? I don’t know! Maybe one of them was your childhood girlfriend or crush.

Taking the risk is up to you OP but brace for impact (disappointment).

Spent years looking for my one of best friend in secondary school,after all the emotional stress and trauma,finally got his number from the strangest of place…
The first time i texted him,man had this thought of maybe I’m trying to ask him for money or help,tried to keep the conversation going for two days,it wasn’t working…
it’s been three years now,since we last exchanged a text

Imagine finding them and they cant remember you exist. 😂. I once jammed a childhood friend on facebook that lived in the next street and we attended same school for 4 years. Baba say he can’t remember me

That’s when you realise you were never really close friends in the first place. Just time and chance brought and compelled you to stay together like a classmate in school, a neighbour in your street, a colleague from work or a hostel/room mate.


A lot of people don’t have real friends, they have acquaintances and assume these other people as friends who may be willing to go above or beyond for them.

If you met someone in school and your friendship has never been tested outside of that environment, you only have an acquaintance.

True friendships have been tested over and over again. Tested in the very environment that they were initially formed and tested again multiple times outside!

After conflict, the only reason some people agree to work things out is because of environment! We are in the same class in school, we had a misunderstanding and i can’t keep ignoring for two more years (some can lol) so we settle our differences. But if we had the same conflict after graduation, that would be the last you hear from them. Would you consider that person a friend? Some of you would have and you would have been wrong.

This one of the reasons I don't try to make friends in new environment anymore. Greet and keep it moving, light banter if you're the friendly type and keep it moving. Some very good friends I made in my poly days, that I really like them alot, we don't talk anymore. And it sometimes hurt when I look back to those days.

To avoid the scar of past friendship, I try to avoid making new ones. This might not make sense, but it has kept me moving and life simpler.

This is one of the reasons I don't make friends in new environment anymore. It try to keep the relationship simple, greet and move on, banter if you're the laughing type. Some friends I made in the past, that I really missed alot don't bother to reach out, even the ones I do reach out to, the talks don't ifetn go past the usual "how're you and stuff", then fizzle away.

To another person, this might not make sense but it has kept life simpler for me, I don't want to be missing anyone when I look back to the days spent together, just like I do now with past friendship.
