The Good old days

Don't know about you; but i so much miss those days , when things were as they were meant to; free and smooth-sailing.

It was no surprise that former reality tv (BBNAIJA) star ; Bisola did a song on that .

Those old times ; you could buy kwuli-kwuli (a local Hausa cookie) for 50 kobo, and bubble gum for ₦1.

You could walk up to any store with just ₦10, picking biscuits and sweets and still have a reasonable balance left.

I could remember  our close-door neighbor back then Mr charles Okoro , who; at one time sent me to buy him certain things with just  ₦100 , and i still brought back balance , Simply because money then was of great value.

How i miss watching Superstory of those days on N.T.A , so interesting & educating was it ; that me and my kid brother always had to sneak out of the house at night on Thursdays to go watch it;  since we had no Television of our own then.

N.T.A, A.I.T , R.S.T.V ; were all our neighbour's TV and remote_controlled Binatone Antenna could get , yet we still managed , at least they aired important programs ; unlike what we see these days.

"I wish " to go back to those good old days when Ice cream was sold for ₦20 , When one Maggi Bouillon cube would be enough for a pot of soup/stew , it has so lost its magical touch , that people prefer using other seasoning cubes instead.

So Orderly were we, that Bicycles , Cars ;had , and maintained its own Lane during traffic ; and also ; few road mishaps occurred , unlike now ; where everyone seems to always be in a hurry.

Those good old days when we watched more home-made movies than foreign ones.

How i so much miss watching Clarion Chukwura's movies , especially the Adventure-filled "Egg of Life" , where she played the role of a chief priestess...; not to mention  Pete Edochie's part in "Things fall apart" , kenneth okonkwo in "Living in Bondage" ; as well as Regina Askia and Ayo adesanya in Action-packed "Most wanted".

Those movies entertained  and taught us so much;  plus how good the Actors/Actresses were in playing their respective roles.

Even though we took pictures with Old Cameras;  and not with Advanced ones like we see today; we can atleast boost of how original the pictures were when printed; unlike mordern-day copies that spoil Overtime.

When Planta and Blueband Margarine were the most preferred Bread sprays ; because of the quality they brought to every loaf of bread they touched ;today's Blueband margarine is far from what it used to be.

''Yes" ; I agree , things were a bit backward,  but we can't take away the fact that they were so well organised and had quality.
