i used to play daddy and mummy and since i'm mummy i gotta cook for the family so we cook everything cookable. sand for amala and  leaves to make the delicious soup. i was a very good mummy. 

can't remember everything now but i used to sneak out and everybody has to be on the look out for my peeps.
climbed guava trees. i loved it.
played catcher catcher, olokun mearn, screaming/reciting nursery ryhmes at the top of my lung.
stole enough meat 4rm d pot. got caught a couple of times and my mom never spanked me for it. she alwayz talks and recites the bible. it's more painful dan spanking.

I remember building bird cages from palm tree leaves and stem and using the cages to set trap to catch colourfull birds it was so exciting
And during school holidays i always went with my friends after breakfast to the stream to fish
with hand made fish hookes
I also remember riding around the area with my tomahawk bicycle
I was always fond of climbing other peoples mango and guava trees
I was a boy scout pathfinder and remember the scout meetings, camping and jambories where we built tents cooked our own food and learned survival tactics
I also remember the songs we sang in the bus that brought us to the camping sites
I also remember taking part in march past during childrens day celebration with the boys scout troop at the stadium

i can remember wondering what's making noise in the small box called radio
i kept on imagining that the people do gather at the back of the box overnite and when day breaks
they start their singing.
this went on for a while till i grew old enough to know wats up

also i cant stop being a tomboy

Tenten,catcher,police and thief before school started(used to get to school by 7 am) my nicely ironed beige uniform was always brown by the time we went into class.

walking home from school with my sister in the rain or sun, singing,  skipping, laughing with no worries in the world, no mortgage,loan repayment,income tax council tax,credit card bill,childcare fees,car loan,

oh yes! and i loved watching village headmaster on sunday evening,couldn't wait to gist about it in school the next day

Xmas in my hometown,my village cousins had lots of fabu stories (made up stories ) to scare us , we used to sit outside myGran'shouse at night on the mats ( having tales by moonlight )

i hope i  give my kids lovely memories to cherish when they are older

Doubletree, yeah, listening to stories by grandmother in my mom's village was something that I really miss. I enjoyed both the country and city life of Nigeria.

It seems to me like children allover niaja basically played the same games, prankes regardless of state|tribe|religion.
I remember climbing trees,building houses in sand, playing catcher, landrover, mother mayi?, police and theif, ten-ten, suwe, my mother told me etc.
I honestly miss tales by moon light,sesame street.
who remembers the abiku drama.
Childhood was the best.
No worries,no stress.
