As I drifted to sleep yesterday, I had a lot on my mind. I thought about how life was for everyone of us while growing up and how it is now. The truth is that, whether we fail to admit it or not, then was better. It was peaceful. Even if you came from a humble background, it was not this bad. Let me refresh your memory a bit. - There was a time that 1000 could last for two days, for even a family. - Remember these sweet games we played back then: Monkey post, Bread and butter, If your mama cook Ogbono soup, Tinko tinko, police and thief? Remember? - There was a time when N200 could get you the biggest size of bread. - There was a time that we could walk freely at night without the fear of being nabbed. - There was a time when the prices of goods were affordable and friendly to the common man. - There was a time when our electricity wasn’t at its best but was good. - There was a time when one cup of rice was N50 and sardines was 150 - There was a time when a dollar was just N150. - There was a time when we used “promise card” during Christmas to get free money and items. - There was a time when graduates land huge jobs in their final year to secure their future. Even.. - There was a time when the best way to win a girl is to write her a letter with a beautiful handwriting or even a card. Someone. Anyone . Do you remember these times  1 Like

That was the era when a boy can fly a paper kite on a breezy afternoon hoping that at 4pm NTA would come on air with Voltron Cartoon. |

Sometimes I shed tears when I remember what life was in the 80's compared to the trash we have today. There is no peace anywhere again, even in the houses of the rich, the society is no longer safe for both the rich and the poor, we no longer have organic food to eat but trashy junk.. But do you know that, those in remote areas we call typical villages are having a far better life than those in township? |
