NIGERIAN MASTER CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED ONLINE/VIA INTERNET. So if u wnt to to use it for onlie payment or shopping, 4get it, it doesn't work! But if its to shop outside the country, like Dubai, it is accepted.

We Ran races and sometimes it was a Real competition with a prize tag
"Long Jump"
"High JumP"-------- Ah! Omo i play wen i small o! Wish i culd go back to those good old days!

At night we would bring out our mats sit down in circles and listen to folk tales, we sang together----- O my God! Those days were VERY GOOD. And after the tales, we used to say that if the story was a lie, let our mouth not make a particular hollow sound we made with our finger in our mouth, remember? God! I really miss my childhood days  cry  I feel nostalgic
CultureGames You Played As A Child? by topkin(op): 12:40am On Mar 20, 2008
What Games Did You Play When You Were "Small"?

Just reflecting on those good old days.

Grew up and still say in Festac. Used to play a lot of "Table Soccer". Meeen, those days were good. Getting all those cock screws, filling them with wax to make them stronger, especially the keeper. Numbering them with numbers cut out frm calenders and making posts frm sugar packs or paper. You culd see the enthusiasm and the joy when u won a match. We even fought over it.

Also used to play with "Agbalumo" (Cherry) seeds. The "Pando" was the big seed and we had so may games we could play with Agbalumo seeds.

What about "Pilolo" - hiding sticks and tring to find them. Also "Father May I", "Green and Red"-------- those good old days, how much i miss them.

The one i loved most was "Police and Thief". Oh! That was one hell of a game. Even the girls wanted to play then. Police and thief was one lovely game that we really enjoyed. It goes on and on. I really enjoyed my childhood days and feel nostalgic bout it. wish I could play those games again.

What about you? What games did you play?

"I Dance"

When I'm lone with you Lord
Trouble seems to disappear
And the peace that comforts me
Always comes when You are near
Cause Your love's too much
For my heart to contain
Joy too much
And my feet won't refrain

Chorus:
So I dance
Like the rain on the roof
Tell my soul that my spirit's on the loose
To know if anyone will understand
Feels like an Angel got me, holding my hand
So I dance
I dance, Idance


And when I think about the ways
You have blest my life
I sing a song of praise
And thankful tears fill my eyes
Cause Your love's too much
For my heart to contain
Joy too much
And my feet won't refrain

Repeat chorus

Like the rain on the roof, yeah
I dance
Can't stop my feet from turning round
I Dnace, I dance

Rainbow Song

Chorus:
If I was a Rainbow, I'll show my colours for YOU
If I was a song bird, I'll sing my song for YOU
If You take the sun and moon
And take away the stars at night
Your faithful word
Will always be my guide


Beautiful, such a miracle
That you would give up heaven just for me
And all i wanna do is fall more in Love with YOU
This world doesn't hold me anymore
But one thing that I do know for sure----

Repeat Chorus and verse till fade---

Lenny LeBlanc
