I received this from an old time friend.I think it's worth sharing. "We, the people born between 1941-1970...are the blessed ones...
We are the awesome people... Our life is a living proof..........
While playing and riding rented bicycle, we never bothered to wear helmets. We played marbles, steycions, skipping ropes, clapping (Ooya, 10-10), bojuboju ooo, talowa ni'nu Ogba na? Etc.
After school time we played until it's dusk but never watched the world (TV) by locking up ourselves in a room.
We played only with our real friends, not with NET friends.
If we ever felt thirsty, we used to drink tap water but never searched for bottled water.
We never got ill even after sharing the same juice with four friends.
We never put on weight even after eating plate full of sweets and eba, amala, koko,Monday to Saturday (but on Friday at schools, dodo ati raisi) , on Sundays only, ordinary tea with bread or yam . On special celebration day(Xmas. New year, easter, Maulud Nabiy, Eidil Fitri / Ileya, Jolof raisi for lunch! We jolly well ate Saara anywhere with fresh chicken. Turkey keee?
Nothing happened to our feet even after street-roaming bare footed.
We never used any health supplements to keep ourselves healthy.
We used to create our own toys and played with them.
Our parents were not rich, they never ran after money and wealth. They just searched for and gave love.. not any worldly materials.
We never used to share our emotions just by emoticons in
mobile phones.
We never had cellphones, DVDs, Play stations, X-Boxes, video games, Personal computers, internet, chat but we had many good friends.
We used to visit our friends' homes uncalled and enjoyed food with them. We never had to call them to seek permission to visit.
Loving people were near us so our hearts and souls were happy. Hence we never required any insurance policy.
We might have been in Black and White photos but you can still find good colourful memories in them.....
Last is the ultimate
We are a unique and the most understanding generation, because we are the last generation that listened to their parents....
and also the first which has to listen to their children.
We are not special, but "
LIMITED EDITION AND ENDANGERED SPECIES"
