I played all. You forgot to add "okoso". It is constructed using the top rubber cover of tiger battery, fixed on a short pen. We been use that thing wound people back hand well well if you fail to trip it to cover |

Daniluv1:There was that one we play with 'counter' and cassete roller as the football. I can't recall the name again. There was also one you dig a hole in the ground and use your agbalumọ seeds to strike. Whichever seed(s) come(s) out are yours. And last but not the least, the one you have usually around Ileya time with ram horns on stick and you lose the game if your horn comes out of the stick or break when it is hit with another horn. These games , along with boju-boju o, were for the junior leagues games though ![]() Teenagers were more interested in table tennis, chess, gynmastics and bicycle stunts. Rowe Park was the prime spot too. And academics was highly competitive with school debating societies, boys scout, quiz contests, science exhibition etc. All Saints school, Yaba was usually the venue for SMC school contests. God bless my city of aquatic splendor. God bless my Lagos division. God bless Lagos state. |

Dogalmighty17:It is just funny. I was wondering how children of nowadays enjoy life by just staying indoors on phone and TV. I actually had that discussion with my genz cousin and she was like No.. She is the one that's feels sorry for the older generation wondering how they managed to live without phone..the internet, prime TV channels and everything that makes life easier these days. She said life must have been hell for a lot of us then and that she will never trade this modern day life to the one we keep saying was dope. I saw her point but I guess everyone should learn to value what they enjoy or are enjoying. Because For me, this modern life is too boring and does not encourage outdoor activities. |

Thoose of you that played rubber band, I can categorically categorize you as indomie children cause I played hard with my friends but we did not play with rubber band back in the good old days. How many of u played with agbalumo seed where by we carry big Ovaltine kpangolo filled with station or kpaki as we usually called the agbalumo seed then. No one mentioned Skipping Rope and I remember the song then.... 24 robbers are knocking at the door, I say run out I say run in They hit me on the head with a rolling stick And this is what they say smiling dancing turn round round ........ |
