Must Read Article: "If You Never Did Papa And Mama Play".

An amazing colleague of mine came up with this article dating back to the age of time in which she recounts a lot of interesting and hilarous but true experiences every Nigerian child..at least the ones in my generation..must have passed through.

*** If you didn't kill earthworm with salt.

*** If you didn't play rubber band.

*** If you never bathed in the rain.

***If nobody told you about India vs Nigeria 99-1.

***If you didn't sleep on the couch and wake up on the bed.

***If you didn't go to steal cashew and guava in the next street and the owner's dog comes through the backyard waiting for you to come down from the tree.

***if you didn't throw your milk tooth on the roof for the lizards to take it and give you new ones.

*** If you didn't just wash your hands and legs instead of bathing when going to school.

***If you didn't act film in uncompleted building or under bed with friends.

*** If you never flew a kite.

***If you didn't use your two legs to build houses with sand.

***If you didn't write your name on paper and insert it into your pen so that no one will steal it.

*** If you didn't close the fridge door really slowly to see when the lights went off.

***If you neva waved at  white birds expecting your nails to be whiter.

***If you neva heard of a ghost that stays under mango trees at nights.

*** If you didn't drive a single car Tyre with a stick and called it your car!

***If you didn't mix garri in sugar in your pocket and eat while walking in the street.

***If you never did mama and papa play i.e. cooking grass and sand without fire.

-***If you didn't play table soccer with bottle cover.

.....Then I guess your Childhood wasn't fun!

Oya choose which one you do. .

"Do you knw it's not jangilova epo motor? it is JINGLE OVER LIKE A MOTOR!! I bet u didn't knw, Don't be shy, I didn't know either until now.

 I am sure 99.9 % of adults that grew up in Nigeria don't know that the nursery rhyme "sandalili sandalili" is actually "standard living standard living".

The song in church saying " o singo singo, praise the Lord", is actually " o sing my soul and praise the Lord". I knw you are singing it now again, smiles.
