I don't think this was ever a thing in other places..

NwaAmaikpe:




You just took me back to when Nigeria was a country, when coins were precious precious.
When Texaco filling station attendants cleaned your windscreen and thanked you for your patronage.

When Nigerian Airways was still a robust Elephant with wings?
When PAN flooded our streets with seductive 404s?
When we stood by railways counting the number of coaches on each steam train passing.

Do you remember when we used fluorescent tubes to construct HD-ready antennas so we could hear the truth from Siene Allwell Brown and Frank Olize.
And when we put coloured glasses over our TVs so we could watch in colour?

Should I remind you of our TVs that had shutters, keys and legs or tell you the stories of eating moi-moi out of milk cups while watching white cranes come home from their fishing trip and beg them to exchange their white claws with out dirty nails?

When we ate New Society bread with planta.
Drank Ginger Ale or Pronto.
Licked "chichi" sweet and coloured saccharine icecreams after taking an overdose of kwilikwili so we could win the farting competition.

Back to when ladies wore shimmy.
When permed and jerry curled hairs were the styles to beat.
Tales by moonlight for the teens,
Icheokwu for the adults and Danger mouse for the kids.

Tell me did you write love notes and pass to your crush through her younger ones?
Did you sprain your finger from turning the "roundabout" telephone dial?

Did you knot grass leaves to stay out of trouble?
Did you walk from house to house on Christmas eve to sing carols?
Lalasticlala.... Did you ever use Aquafresh toothpaste to drink garri or use Krest and Akanwu for birthcontrol?


Nigeria was great.
Life was greater if you had the privilege of growing up in Eastern Nigeria.

OP, only matured people that grew up in the East will know this o. Will the mods relate?

I had one in my room in those days. The sound no be here. Sometimes I connected CD Player to it. If you come play Osadebe's song (Osankwa) on it eh .

Wigetsolar:
I remember when we were growing up, in the East, after the era of turntables and vinyl records and Kenwood Speakers, we had a customised home theater.

It is constructed by connecting a radio cassette/CD player, usually of lower Power (PMPO) to a speaker(s) using an earphone cord/jack and placing the speaker upside down onto a native water pot (Udu nmiri) or native music drum. Although the speakers are of lower Wattage but when the speaker is put onto the native pot/drum, the bass is multiplied.

Sometimes, there are several of these connections placed at the four corners of the room and sometimes hidden in the ceiling of the house (visitors usually wondered where the sound is coming from but cannot see the speakers).

God knows how many ladies were entertained in that room. You know, rooms of the boys is fancier than anywhere else in the building

For those of you that know what I am talking about, what do you think?
