-The days when one naira was valued, when groundnut was 1 kobo? The days when the best shoes were bought in Bata and Lenards. When Chanrai, UTC, and Kingsway were the best place to shop.

-The days when we were playing of messing game, who is in the garden, police and thief? The days of Mama & papa play?

Dstv and Internet has finally come and no more old fun. I'm really proud to have experienced all these. If you are not smiling it means you were not born in my generation. Which means you are the INDOMIE generation! "

This post captures my childhood, this is my generation and it brings nolstagia, just reading the lines...

What a time to Remember! just like yesterday but they were really good old days to relish for a lifetime. Days of willie willie, NTA Frank Olize Newsline etc. In short, they were really the good old days of yore. We really enjoyed ourselves.

A time when crime was at its lowest. A time when people can take visitors in their house to sleep over without knowing who they are. A time people sleep with their doors opened without being afraid of any danger.

Hahaha... That football match with the cover of Coca-Cola bottles was the main thing back then in my estate.
We played competition and one of us who was creative did a trophy using cigarettes linings for gold, silver and bronze.

Our favorite game those years was bottle seals (canta) leagues. Back then, we used to look forward to NTA's 8:00PM programmes. On Mondays, it was Zone 9. On Tuesdays, we had "Soliatre." On Wednesdays, it was "This is us" or something like that. Then, on Thursdays, we had the very best of all times, the real baba of TV programmes, "Super Story," by Wale Adenuga Production, with that their slogan, "we are nothing but pencils in the hands of the creator grin

" and that their very emotional theme song..."This is super story, a life of strife and sorrows.... ; grin

... Missing this one was like a death sentence. Then on fridays, it was "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." On Saturdays, it was football matches, both old and new, from morning till evening, especially on DBN (Delta Broadcasting Network). We also used to rush home from school every evening to watch either "Tom and Jerry" or "My Book of Bible Stories" cartoons. What of hiring movies? Me and my three siblings, plus our housemaid used to contribute #5 or 10 naira each to hire a #30 naira movie from hiring centers especially during holidays. We would watch the movies after we had done all our house chores for the day. Then we return the movies back to the hiring centers grin

before mom came back from work. l can give anything to go back to those good old days l swear grin

That was how we were playing hide and seek, me and one fine compound girl hide for correct position, and just when I was about using the opportunity to explore, na so my "useless" younger brother found us. I never got to explore till crisis in Kaduna separated us
