Life In The 70's/80's Vs Present Day Life by Rapmoney(m): 7:05am On Aug 31, 2019 |
If you had your childhood in the 70's or 80's, you should be able to recall and relate with the way life was back then and now. This post is not out to paint any generation bad but as a realist, I owe myself a duty to state the bitter truth and nothing but the bitter truth; there is a high scale of decay in our social system. Then Vs Now... 1) Back then, someone's child was like the child of the neighborhood. You could easily correct an erring child as an adult even in the presence of the parents. Today, you hardly can. You dare not shout at a child in the presence of the parents even if he/she erred! My brother, the kind eye wen the pikin mama go dey look you ehn, cold go catch you! This contributes a lot to why many children bahave immorally at surprising ages! These days, most young couples are just fit to reproduce but not fit to be parents. 2) Back then, when a child failed his/her exams in school, be sure he/she would sleep at the neighbour's house that night. Why you go fail? ![]() 3) Back then, a secondary school student dare not visit his/her assumed lover at home. As a guy, you go stand for about ten buildings from the babe papa house, then send a 'Good Samaritan' child in the area to call her. If you are a girl, no even think about am. After the boy mama finish you with mouth, you go trace your mama house with speed! Today, even kids in Jss 3 organise parties in hotels around town, pop pills and smoke skunk. 4) Kids in the 70's/80's used suwe, flying kites, riding wheels and tyres, ludo, otori (hide and seek), Tales by Moonlight, wording (jokes), etc to pass time. Today, kids use porn and online betting to pass time. 5) Back then, you would become the envy of the neighborhood when you gain admission to study in the university. Area people go be like: 'Shuo! I hear say Mosco dor enter Uniben o!' Today, nobody gives a hoot whether you are in Migwor University or University of Vrendo! You must buy Benz first! Na wetin area wan know to calculate your 'success'. 6) Back then, to see a babe pant hard pass to enter USA with Donald Trump as president; you fit date babe for six months, you never taste the Oripopo. Today, sex is negotiated freely and openly as if na crayfish market. Women now shamelessly place price tags on themselves on social media for anyone who can afford the bill. 7) In the 70's and 80's, young women who exposed their bodies indecently were frowned at. Today, we now celebrate them shamelessly! This is one of the reasons why many young women now hide under the movie industry to prostitute themselves. Oh, I remember folks like Bukky Ajayi, Rachael Oniga, Christy Essien-Igbokwe (Zebrudaya's movie wife), etc. God bless these women even in death! Nostalgic feelings... 168 Likes 27 Shares

Well, i wasn't born in the 70's or 80's, but i have watched dochmentaries and read books that portrayed life in that era. It was an era when: - Education was of very high quality and we had more of public schools (especially the Federal Government colleges) that were highly reputable, even with international students in them. - We had more nationalists, people who were ready and willing to put their lives on the line for the progress of tje nation. Unlike now that we have Sycophants every where - There was a high level of calmness, organization and tidiness on our streets and public places. I can bet that, if someone who was imprisoned around that period gets freed now, he wont be able to cope with the hustle and bustle of the present Naija life. Everything is too fast-paced and every one is in a hurry to get to nowhere exactly - People valued hardwork and, of course, there were legitimate jobs for people to get busy with. We trusted our government to provide us with jobs and they delivered. Not now that every young boy would prefer to play 9jabet or go into yahoo and make quick money than learning a school or getting a job (which is almost non-existent in the first place sef) Turn your smart phone into a microscope that views object 60X, with the device in my signature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7i-eOOfUWw&feature=youtu.be 20 Likes 2 Shares |

There was also less suicide rate and christmas eve was celebrated together by every children in a neighborhood. Aside from what the west exported to us (internet, smartphone, etc), we haven't really progressed on our own. 28 Likes 1 Share |

Nice write up. One thing I have noticed in this world is that things change. "The only constant in life is change" ---※※※ Fash20 Below are some of the things that are responsible for the decay 1- The children of the 70/80 are now parents... I think that generation is to blame for the current decay in the morality of present day children. 2- Internet:- Since the world is now connected, different cultures, views and beliefs are now connected too. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

So much better then. It's just sad we can't get there again. The fact is clearly things will get worse but the truth is you and your family will be the difference in a morally deficient generation.
