Yeah! I would really love to see their reaction if they were to see one unexpectedly. Gameboy cartridges Chai! Nostalgia is a b****. Then saturn came with cds, then Playstation took the cd market to another level in the mid 90s. It's quite sad that cds would give way in the not too distant future, maybe in the next ten years, streaming might be the only way to play games.

CD already on the verge of extinction! I have not bought one in 5 years! I just have to . So in less than 5 years, CD will be done!

I dont even think this generation know brick game!

The 1999 end of the world. That was one of the greatest event in the 20th century.

Almost all humans believed it, I people selling off properties and church recorded the highest attendance in the history of Christianity.

Lazy Africans. Always looking for succour at the in anything. Comtemporary white nations are bolstering themselves with important developments and innovations—AI, automobile, technology, and so on. We dey here, nostalgia and superstition dey suffer for our hand.
Look, Oraykon, I'm not a clown. I'm only looking out for us as the black race. We can't keep living this way. This self-inflicted repression must stop somehow, and I believe sensitization is a great way to begin, thus my earlier outburst/comment. Look at the Whites, they literally dictate our lives. We have to rise and be able to contribute immensely to humanity too. Any 10 minutes we spend living in the past, like hounding on old nostalgic memories, is a 10 minutes spent by the west to bolster improvements on NLP, DL, ML, Warfare, Spacecraft, Health, and so on...

I was born pre-2000, enjoyed many fond memories as such, but I realize everything we did inherently as a group is now either repressing or being dictated by other race, while they grow in leaps. They didn't have such development as they do now. But we, in contrast, have nothing to show for it.
It hurts me that you choose to see it this way. We have to help ourselves, strengthen the black race.

is it not this same whites that are our number one enemy? I won't be surprised if you are a Christian or muslim. Where were you when starseeds like African activists were killed? You think life is all about being a keyboard warrior. You will learn soon!!!

The explosions woke me up that night/morning around 2am.

I didn't hear the martial music until 7am, but I had been hearing the gunshots and explosions since around 2am.

Whites aren't our enemy. We're our enemy. And in fact, I hold that all religions—Christianity, Islam, and Traditional— have collectively contributed to our debacle tremendously.

We weren't in Lagos so didn't have the "luxury" of being thrilled by the "bombs over the Dodan". We got wind of it by 8am in the morning when we suddenly started hearing martial music on the radio. I didn't really understand what martial music was or meant. But my parents had been coup "veterans" having experienced Gowon, Mohammed, Buhari and Babangida coups. So they knew what's up immediately and we ran back home

if they are not our enemies, why do they kill progressive african leaders? What's neo-colonialism? Who congratulated tinubu even though the elections was a sham? You are not only realistic, you don't know what's going on, educated blind man!!!

They won't understand that Pastor Kris Okotie made great music like this.

This is a momentous occasion! It is an epoch making event! Wow!


This is the song that I have written about on this thread countless times. This is the song that I have been searching for! I couldn't its name and I couldn't if it was by Kris Okotie or Jide Obi, but this is the song! This is the song!

Unfortunately the video doesn't get to the end of the song, but I don't care. This is the song!

Kris Okotie - I'm Going Now (1979)

♪Ah! I came from far away now just to set my eyes on you.
I felt the apprehension as soon as I was landing
I knew something was wrong and I couldn't get my heart's desire


Ah! I came from far away now just to set my eyes on you.
I know you made me cry once, no, even twice
I knew something was wrong and I couldn't get my heart's desire

Ah! I came from far away now just to set my eyes on you.
I felt the apprehension as soon as I was landing
I knew something was wrong and I couldn't get my heart's desire

I'm going now, I'm going now, I'm going (Don't go oh oh)

But I'm living my life now just to make you my own
I'm leaving all these things just to do what you say
I'll leave you with my love if you give me your love
I'll give you everything now just to get my heart's desire

Ah! I came from far away now just to set my eyes on you.
I felt the apprehension as soon as I was landing
I knew something was wrong and I couldn't get my heart's desire

I'm going now, I'm going now, I'm going (Don't go oh oh)
But my heart breaks♫

What one thing a kid born after 2000 will not understand no matter how long you explain it?

How we grew up not knowing what a generator was or why a household will ever need it!

In hindsight, do you think it was "fun" living through that and watching history unfold? I had very fun imaginations of Dodan Barracks. Moved to Lagos in 98 and lived off Awolowo Road in Ikoyi. I was so deflated when I saw the Obalende back entry points to what was (in my mind), the great Dodan Barracks. I was so disappointed and let down.

Fiscus105:





1.Life without phone.

2.One or no person will WAEC in a whole local government.

3.Turning antenna up and down to watch black and white Television.

4. Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool fans that litter every ghetto.

5.That you cannot withdraw money outside the exact bank you opened your bank ......

Military govt, (supreme military council, Military stration of Ondo, Bornu, Anambra. (MILAD instead of Gov) of Kwara).



They are too many.

Number 2 and 5 are the most backwardness. Very correct.

@ No5, I ed I traveled back to enugwu-ukwu from Lagos to close my with 10k in union bank then after 3months of NYSC in 2021.

No1, is the reason why the children of nowadays thinks the way they settle and exams was d way in the 80s.

You got the points 100% correct cos no matter how you explain to this millennium children that insults, they can never understand.

Imagination on the above 5 points, then the children of today shld check how elections was being conducted then

That's because Dodan Barracks is made up of many different things.

I how difficult it was to explain this to people in the 1980s. Some people thought that the president lived in a regular army barracks.

There was State House Ribadu Road (that's the Presidency).

There were 2 sections of Dodan Barracks (the army barracks)

There was Mopol 2

Etc.


It was fun when you look back at it, but it wasn't as much fun on the day. It was more surreal. I couldn't understand why people were doing normal things like playing football and delivering newspapers when there was a war not far away.
