8. Game Box

It's like an advance form of siwe ( we called it siwe and not suwe in my neighborhood) where you jump from box to box and prevent your opponent from touching you. You tease and tease to the extent of even making your marker fall. If you fall the kain laugh wey people go laugh you eh.

This game is not for the weak, only the strong can survive it. It's played with sticks and small plastic containers, at times we use ball but containers are preferred because that's how you can execute wickedness that goes with the game.

The list isn't complete without "inter street/ house football competition "

Oh! How time flies

Now the parents practically encourage their children to only subscribe to Western ideas of childhood play thereby losing out on cultural fun.

*Rubber bands war with 2 or more different groups, using toothpaste rapper to create bullets..

Abeg, wetin be dat country game?

The one wey we dey draw circle, cut the circle into pizza like pies and then we choose country and stand in any of the pies as our country's land.

And the aim is to run out/ return in case they call our country so as to catch the other people and their country. By jumping 3 Times to meet them

Do you remember it?

Agbalumo seed betting

It was plaxed by drawing a round hole at one end and a line on the other end. Two or more participants can play at a time where each participant contributed equally number of AGBALUMO seeds besides the circle . The participants them stand at the edge of the drawn line trying to throw a seed inside the drawn circle on the other end. The first to enter will be the winner of the all contributed seeds

We call it ‘I call on’ once the person calling calls, on your tag mostly network stations titled ‘B.C.O.S, NTA, LTV etc’ in Ibadan then, you have to get to the center and scream ‘stop’ and everyone would stop. The problem is you might not know you are the one being called and start running away too until you realized that you are, participant would have run far away😂 and you won’t be able to catch any of them. I think your points would be deducted after trying to catch any of them with staunt and you couldn’t 🤣

There is one insect we call ‘Alaburnbur’ normally gotten from fruit trees I think. You get one and tie thread on it and it starts flying. You can leave it but with the thread it can’t fly away but we enjoyed running after it just like throwing kite chai how time flies
