airsaylongcome: Yes, but the truth remains that Nigerians allowed themselves to be deceived by politicians. Politicians preyed on the gullibility of Nigerians. They always say that Nigerians easily forget. They pushed tribalism and allowed it to fester. The rest is history as we experience it. |

Racoon: Even as a female, I can't forget Tunisia '94. Still rings in my ears. Still have memories of our players then. Sunday Oliseh, Oruma, Anosike, Emmanuel Amunike, Steven Keshi (think he was the captain then, if he wasn't, then it must have been Sunday Oliseh, can't remember), also can't remember if Samuel Okparaji was on that team, Okocha, KANU. Then my love Rasheed Yekini (can't forget how he used to hold the net when he scores), Celetine Babayaro. Peter Rufai (the keeper). Chai..I have a memory like an elephant 😂 3 Likes |

ChybuzzDD: Says who? Not kidnap for ransom as it is now but kidnapping existed. Matter of fact, I used to have nightmares of kidnap simply because I knew it existed. They used to call them "gbomo gbomo" then. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Was really, really sweet People were outside more and not glued to the internet and their phones so people socialized more. I remember using Nitel landlines and marvelling at how someone could hear me on the other line (only one person had it on our street) .. I also remember the first time i held a Satellite phone in 98, it was surreal. Was owned by one egbon from the US who everyone said was a 419er We couldnt even browse or make video calls with the A52 Siemens, Sendo, Sagem and Nokias back then. Cheat codes later came after 10MB plans and then it went from there. You had to go to the cafe to browse, Multilink and Starcomms later came Times have really changed tbh. Wish I could bring back the good old days when we used to just party without worries in this world. Baggy jeams, Phatfarm and Timberland boots & AirForce 1s, 6ers jerseys, headbands with durags, Echo fits, Vokal jerseys etc. Choi! The days of Funai and Akai DVD players and Sharp TVs When our dream was to make antennas that would make DBN or LTV show up, when during harmattan, stations like ITV would show up, when SEGA, NES, SNES and N64 was the thing.. When PS1 came out, it was a game changer, the competitions at game houses . I remember when MK3 and 4 codes were written on paper by OGs . When if you were selected by the egbon adugbos to deliver love letters to their girlfriends, then you were a big boy by right RIP to my childhood friends, Seun, Michael and Benedict I miss the early early 90s 2 Likes |

ChybuzzDD: Kidnapping did happen back then. I recall one of my younger sibling's mates who was kidnapped back in the early 1990's...1990 to be exact. Fortunately, he had a slim window to escape, and he took it. We kids used to be warned not to follow strangers back then. 1 Like |
