There is something about the OLD NIGERIA.

We had peace on all fronts.

You visit your muslim friends and eat their sallah meat and Kuli Kuli. They also visit and eat your Christmas meat with Limca.

They will nickname you based on your first Hausa blunder. Somthing like "Akwai-Yaro" or something.

A time when the words "Aboki" truly meant "Friend" and Mallam - "Teacher".

Not many cars on our roads. Ladies had their natural hairs and many had ambitions to study and travel.

Those who travelled outside the shores of Nigeria, were always delighted to come back home after studies. They also sent us letters which we all read in our rooms with spring beds.

Those of them who relocated to Cameroon, Togo or Benin will bring back BonBon sweets.

I miss the old Nigeria.

Beautiful memories

This post just brought tears to my eyes. Life then was so full of innocence.

That Aiwa eh

Lol! I really miss all these relics of old.They remind me of my childhood days,when life was so much good, and things were very cheap.
I also miss the era of coins of naira and Kobo.
The Op forgot to add them.
I also think in nostalgia over classic Nollywood movies of those days like, Karishika 1&2, Just a Mission, Oracle 1&2,Samadora,Will Jesus come?, After School Hours 1&2,Evil men 1&2, Witches, Not your Wealth, Conspiracy 1&2, Power To Bind, Magic Money, Above Death, Benita, Evil Genius 1&2, Price of Sacrifice,End Time, Coming of the Antichrist, Lost Forever, Sabotage, Double Assault, Twins, Blood Money,End of the Wicked,Yet another day,An eye for an eye, Deadly Proposal,Ekulu, Rattlesnake, Living in Bondage,Sins of the father, Suicide Mission,Sakobi the snake girl,Issakaba, and more.
Indomie gen F won't know these great classic Nollywood movies I listed out.
My fellow compatriots, feel free to indicate among my movie list which you have watched.

Namaster:
It's time to STOP this!

Threads like this inspire nostalgia. Someone like Tinubu may read it and decide to bring back a DEAD song.

P.S. Balloon is not a relic.

P.P.S "Old relics" is a tautology. Relic already means old.

Not funny. Dumb as f**k

It's that Joy soap advert for me ooh..

All of them oo. U for put black and white TV not this colored of yesterday. Agba ti De shaa(Old age don come oo). If u see me in real life sha, I look 22😊

the Bonbon sweet that is pink and green very sweet back then in my village once is Christmas time will be looking forward to lick the sweet from one brother that time that will come back from Gabon or Cameroon

If you recognize any of these antique handsets you are too old to participate in the Nairaland forum and must therefore stop writing and retire immediately to go home and watch over your grandchildren.

That said, I am the proud owner of this collection of antique cellphones used in the days of yore when men were men and women knew their place. Before you laugh, let me assure you that by speaking on these classic phones I can communicate directly with Elvis Presley, Mike Jackson, Sanni Abacha, and even my late Uncle Bob who promised to will me a small fortune which excited me until I saw how small he meant.

Floppy disk. So big and not up to 1gb.

Lol. Not even up to 4mb sef

Samuelnze:


Omor, how time has gone.

Most of these relics are now just trinkets. I vividly remember the good old days. I often advise people not to chase after the latest trends as if their lives depend on it. If given most of this stuff as a gift, one might not even collect it. 😕

Nothing lasts forever, sha. 😔

Most of the stuff here wasn't owned by our parents, but look at us now, having the current good and trendy stuff. Sometimes it's better not to over-stress yourself about things you don't have now. Just give yourself time and buckle up in your hustle. 💪

Nothing lasts forever Sha.

My favorite books then were the bottled leopard and the wives revolt... Though I still liked one week one trouble... Without a silver spoon... Kuoku Baboni etc

Not forgetting Service of the Father Land!

We had all those back then

I don't really read novels back in my secondary school days but i read AKIN THE DRUMMER BOY and so many others in primary that i can't really recall.

Bullman:


My uncle used that cassette player and old cd player to frustrate my life with mark Morrison, return of the mark in 1995 or 96.. now that I'm all grown i practically listen to the songs my dad n uncle loved more, I'm full old school i never reach 35 000

Lol. You didn't buy lyrics booklet? To learn the lyrics of songs back then. Ah, kids were growing up as kids back then.
