Skyview01: Omo, childhood seems like a different lifetime other than this one. I wish I could relive the childhood and enjoy what I didn't do. I really felt happy this morning dreaming about childhood and thinking in the dream that I was not dreaming. Silly pranks that life plays on us. 3 Likes |

Cantonese: Buhari 1984 regime and EssenCo is the primary reason I can never ever ever ever ever support him. He was a mad man. I was a kid then but I remember that period of EssenCo. His soldiers brutalized Nigerians. To buy milk was war. Soldiers flogged Nigerians like how cows were flogged. For essentials like milk and sugar. His silly WAI Brigade were a different kind of beast 1 Like |

And that crazy Dr. Who scared me too And hey, u forgot to mention Willie Willie too, though that program was for NTA Ph back then. 1 Like |

airsaylongcome: Nigerians have really suffered in the hands of the man. Children this time suffered what their parents suffered at the hands of the man. Painfully some still say “make we suffer now to enjoy in the future”. Nigerians were known for enjoyment. Now they are known for suffering and hardship. 3 Likes |

randymirrors: Are guavas even available for purchase today. Back then we ate guava with reckless abandon. To the extent that rumours started spreading that if you eat guava anyhow you will get appendix. There were soft ripe guava and "hard" ones. And the thin branches were a good "factory reset" tool aka cane |
