I was BORN in the 70-80's. The last SANE generation! We are the last generation that played on the streets. we were the first to play video games, saw cartoons with no color & went to the Apapa amusement park. We were the last to record songs off the radio via cassettes, we are the pioneers of walkman, discman & chat rooms. We were d last to see beta max video players. We had d legendary Video cas...sette player, played the Atari, gameboy, game gear, sega game and looked left and right b4 crossing d streets. We wore G-shock & Casio digital wrist watches, played ten- ten, boju-boju, catcher, dan malio, suwe, wheel, rolled tyre on d streets, n had no idea wat d internet was. We are the generation of the Thunder Cats, the Transformers, Scooby doo n scrappy doo, Voltron, clue club, capt caveman, big foot n wild boy, Super Ted, Willi Willi, seaseme street, contact, g force, jumbo, ovide video, muppet babies, speed racer, he-man,yogi bear, atom ant, mighty mouse, terra hawks, casper n d angels, fraggle rock & Tales by the Moonlight. Traveled in cars without seat belts nor air-bags, auto transmission cars were thrilling to see, if ur daddy didnt hav a peugeot 504 2.0 or 505 evolution, den u neva arrive. lived without cell phones. Rode our bicycles down the streets without brakes. Icecream vans patrolled the streets & cable channels were free. We never had Yahoo but still kept in touch. We donned our sunday clothes to go watch films @ the National Theatre. walked around our homes barefoot n used our nails to remove broken bottle pieces from underneath our feet and neva needed spirit nor iodine. We were the ficticious yabbers with the likes of "u mess akara wear coat, u mess all d fish in river Niger say r we safeeeeee". We did not have Sony play station, X box, nor DSTV, rather we waited till 4pm for dear NTA to start TELE MATCH, Had no flat screens, VCD, DVD, Blu Ray disc, surround sound, mp3. mp4 players, iPod, ipad, computers & the Internet. There was no LASTMA but yellow fever, no BRT buses but Molue. But nevertheless we had a GREAT Time!!! ... Feel free to post this, if you are from this generation.(i wish things can go back to the way they used to be,where we don't live in greed)
