Bringing out and playing your Gameboy in public

There were many things we grew up doing as teens in the 80's that does not happen anymore, here is my top 15

1) Bouncing: as a young gee bouncing is a must to do (whoever gave it that name?), it involves you walking in a 'swagly' manner in such a way to depict big boy. It took years before I stopped (only God knows how) but it was a serious swag then, and was for only boys. Now people just prefer sagging...

2) Hanging Towel: as a 'big boy' then you needed a medium sized bathroom towel hung around your shoulders. You fold your arm and tilt your body towards the side which the towel is hung, you end up looking like a person under a spell but it didn't matter, you are just demanding some respect from the hood...

3)Lumberjack: Czech is the name of the game, you were not known as a true hommy if you did not represent with a 'lumber', I rocked the red and black most!

4)Santos: remember that cowboy shoes that had a revolving spikes at the back? Only the dopest big boys had it then and it still get me sprawling each time I catch a glimpse of it, somehow, it's gone into the oblivion...

5)Bikes: there was minimum access to rides then so we had to set our sights low...if you had a BMX or a CHOPPER then you were made of gold...you needed this to 'soil your roots' to the ladies in tha hood...now if you brandish a bike then you are a whimp...

6)Fezcap and Walkman: this pair went hand in hand...having a Walkman was a great privilege, topping up ur head with a nice colourful fezcap would have ladies drooling for you... who wears fezcap anymore? And least I forget; Walkman has 'walked' man!

7)Cassette : everybody have a 'must have' cassette at home. Mine was predator, commando, drunken master, terminator, etc... almost all homes had these and yes, you had to brandish right beside the Tv...

8 Satellite Dish: this was only for the top dawgs, if you got one of these, you are a very rich man's son...if you had none, then the one proxy would be used as a landmark... some (like me) would even go far as saying ' when you get to that house with satellite, ask for me I will come out... before then I would have padied with the house owners sha o...

9) Lyrics magazine: it was necessary for you to know your lyrics so as to boast about being informed and exposed...you could give a line or two when you notice the opposite sex, it was like a little intro depicting that you are a gee... so you end up buying a lot of lyrics mag. I suffered from 'hip hop world' people hand ehn, it took me a long while before i actually know it was not 'who shat who nat', we suffered o, now you just simply go online

10) Stories that touches: it was a trend then to buy story magazines, examples are Hints, hearts, etc...only God knows where they are now, my elder sister's room was literally their store room...now who get the time? Just login to nairaland or lib you will see a lot of stories

11) Porn Magazine: it was a must have, you sometimes pop one in your school bag and use it to form a gee for dem gals (at least I know I did that), now people just go online, no time...

12) Comics: I was a comic book fan, I still have like 50 somewhere in my dad's house... we loved reading comics then and some how, we spent almost all our savings on them.

13) Love poems: there was nothing like text messaging so if you meet a gal you like, u write her a poem and slip it into her hands or her bag, u then wait endlessly for reply...it was exhausting especially if the reply came back negative...no be small something o. But now you can whatsapp, txt, etc...

14) Phone: phone was a luxury back then and you could count houses that had them, luckily, mine had but was always locked in my dad's room, when it rang and my friends happen to be in the house, I felt like an oyinbo man living oyinbo life...lol

15)'kitting': whatever happened to our kites? This younger generations dey miss o...kite was a favorite sport then, it was like being a pilot temporarily, people prefer browsing now, to kites

Goshen360:

Chibabi:
That's cool. Happy Birthday to myself. Nairalanders should pls show mi love

it's my birthday also, happy birthday to us!!!

DamiBukola:
Don't forget the 9 states u r referring to includes Alaska, a white dominated state

don't forget college votes, many people think US elections is like naijas. College vote determines eveything hillary is still safe now with her results, let the senators and congress men decide who the president would be, Tb Joshua might still be right, don't forget bill clinton has a lot of influence on the congress men and senators,she just needs 278 college votes

His greatest achievement was conceding defeat which he had no other choice but to, as international observers boxed him to a corner. That is the only achievement Jonathan is celebrated for outside the shores of his country (which he finds solace in right now), some wailing wailers and 'ipad' still worship his glorious cluelessness. Am pretty sure the only reason why mr. No shoe and 'shepopo' continues to rant rubbish is the likelihood of a treaty signed by PMB and GEJ, buhari just dey respect the witnesses if not, this guy should be eating beans with father xmas (dasuki)

If I hear say you read am finish.....

Mission impossible;Rogue nation

In london there is still pride for the pedestrian, sometimes I put on my ear plugs and don't even bother to look left or right for upcoming vehicles, as far as my leg touches the zebra crossing then am as safe. In Nigeria it is a whole new ball game. I tried that stunt in Ikorodu yesterday, not only that I was almost knocked over, I was seen as a mumu JJc, the driver shouted curses at me (oju igo, ma gba e danu; I will knock you away), why? We need an agency to enforce this especially at this ikorodu.

A friend sent this I, decided to share here...

You may already know that Nigeria is the
largest black nation in the world and the
most populous nation in Africa.
You may already know that Nigeria has
great dependency on crude oil, etc...
Here are 20 unpopular facts about Nigeria.
1. Are you aware that all over the world
Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves? Do you know?
2. In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you’ll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated.
3. 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.
4. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than
the median US income of $53k.
5. In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations.
6. A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK.
7. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super
talented Nigerian from Sokoto State.
8. The World’s fastest supercomputer was
designed by a world renowned inventor
and scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full-
blown Nigerian whose patency was awarded in 2015. This means Nigeria has the patency to the world’s fastest computer: a Black Nigerian.
9. The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of criminal record of any kind.
10. South Africa couldn’t have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played.
11. Of the 3 South African Presidents who
ruled after apartheid, two of them once
lived in Nigeria under asylum. Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and
our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly.
12. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost
hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone which the world ignored because they have no oil.
13. When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the
elected President back to power.
14. Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil.
15. 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask.
16. Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610. Google and see what she means to Africa.
17. We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for
France free of charge. We are not poor blacks. Nigeria is rich and don’t be lied to.
18. The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station.
=========
Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past.
If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you’ll not get the full picture of your Nigerian heritage.
Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians are criminals, no matter who he is, or his height and position.
We’re not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness.
==========
Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians:
19. On the 7th May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was
made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians.
The entire world still envies our uniqueness as a NATION with living together despite our ethnic diversity. One single country with over 400 languages.
They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas et al.
If you don’t blow your trumpet, no one
will blow it for you.
#VIVA_NAIJA!!
20. There are over 180,000,000 Nigerians
world over and only less than 250,000 of this figure have traceable criminal records.
This is about 0.14% of our entire national population in the last 20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global media.
Listen Nigeria, don't let anybody woo you
into believing that you are a criminal just because you are a Nigerian.
Nigerians are NOT criminals.
You are NOT a criminal.
You are topnotch; second to none around the world.
I am proud am created a Nigerian, thank you God.
Be proud of Nigeria wherever you go.
Take out your Passport with pride.
Be proud of our GREEN HERITAGE.
Be enthusiastic of our FUTURE GREATNESS.

Ghost01:
I remember back then in 2008 when Mimiko was contesting to become the governor of Ondo State for the first time. While passing by, he stopped in front of our school (AAUA) gate to sell himself as a viable candidate. I can still remember that some of us in the crowd then were more concerned about what he had to drop than what he had to say. Now imagine what would've happened if the major contestants then were to have a debate in the school's multipurpose hall. The same students who are supposed to listen and think and ask questions will be the ones that will ensure that they scream and squeak to each words emanating from their favourite candidate's mouth - betraying the purpose of the debate in the process. Our leaders deserve all the blame apportioned to them but we, ourselves, are not entirely blameless. Salaam!

I just got myself a tablet and I find it difficult to type but on seeing your comment i had to manage and give you a reply. We are our greatest problems, even on nairaland alone you would encounter so called graduates with blunt petrified minds, who are we fooling? Debates cannot work in our universities for now but we can surely set a good foundation of great universities for our children, it starts with you and me. God bless!

Rest in peace. May God grant your family the grace to bear this great loss and comfort them on everyside, in Jesus' name, amen.

guy u for no add that number 2 for dia, after i read am i just jump the remaining, Uniport sef go dey shame for demselves

my thoughts exactly, since we are now following the new testament. thanks for your contribution.Godspeed to you.

annunaki2:
Jesus placed a lot of emphasis on giving to the poor and the needy. He NEVER taught tithing.

Tallesty1:
You know the right thing so do it

tallest tallesty how u dey? seriously i don't know what to do o, i have asked some men of God and they seem to have different opinions. personally i wouldn't mind doing charity only, this is because i derive joy from it and it also goes with my wife's work, i just want to know if i would not be going against rules by not tithing...wish you a rejuvenated day ahead!!!

sunnyfats:
I will say you should pray for God to lead you, charity is very good and there are lots of blessings attached to it. meanwhile, it is a clear instruction from God,that your tithe should go to the house of God, it is the church that will put ur tithe to good use.our problem these days is that we feel that the church is not rightly utilising our so called tithe and offering. But we are not their judge as we know,they are responsible to God.
However, charity work should be done out of your own pockets, this is our obligation to love our neighbours. It is not totally right to think you have to use Gods money to help his pple, that is not our responsibility, I only hope you ll get my point(I'm just beign honest). Its because most of us don't understand why we have to pay tithe, that's why we agree with pple when they say pastors are stealing our money. And that usually becomes the reason why we feel we should divert the money to other means.
So in summary, it is not wrong to use your tithe for charity, but if you can,pls avoid it
May God help us all

thank you bro, but please can you shed light more by telling us where particularly God instructed us to pay 10 percent as tithe offering? tithing might have just been misconstrued dont you think? God bless your endeavors.

dem done get this one ooo, jesu dont be surprised that the person way do the job dey dia dey watch in 3d, it can even be one of the so called 'bridesmaid' sef. the husband sef fit cos am, that is why it is not good to dey toast toast all the women wey u see, dem fit ves for ur wife to be/wife and ur case will resemble above. men beware!!!
