My NAIJA of yester years. I hail thee

Naija of Old I miss you oo!

I miss d days when we went to school, lined up & D headmistress & teachers inspect our nails & uniform & den we match to our classrooms, U Remember na??

D days of Nasco Biscuit,Trebor, Iced coloured water tied in nylon we called it “lolly”

D days of Goody-Goody & pako Biscuit.

D days of ali & simbi, Mr Salami & Mrs Salami, Agbon, Edet lives in Calabar.

Chei, i remember those days when one naira na money, when groundnut was 5 kobo. & choco milo sweet was 5 kobo.

The days of messing game, who is in d garden, police and thief.

D days of mama & papa play • The days when we use to build houses with sand, play suwe game, tinco tinco, change U̅r style, ten ten, skipping, stop! U remember nau?

Those days wen we used to fly kite on streets, wen boys used to use d paint bucket cover as tire & their daddy’s hanger as d steering.

Those days when rubber band was stock exchange, Lol.
Those days when voltron, jimbo, power rangers, spider man was our favourite cartoon.

D days of limca soft drinks & choco milo advert on black and white tv and sunday rendevous by1:30pm •

When we say ‘leke leke give me white finger’ • Those days when eleganza pen was d best •

D days wen we used to drink water from d tap even suck out d water if its not coming out •

D days when NTA will show rainbow color for 30 mins then national anthem before they resume program @ 4pm •

D days wen basket sandals, simbi nd Bata sandals were d best •

D Days wen we all sing sandalili sandalili songs.

Now……Dstv has come, no more old fun, I’m really proud to have experienced all this.

If u r nt smiling it means you were not born in my generation. Kpele oo. Good day folks
