Historical
Truth
bless ed
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, tabala, dodging, skipping ropes, Etc.
After school
time we played until dusk but never watched the world (TV) by locking up
ourselves in a room.
We played only
with our real friends, not with www.com friends.
If we ever
felt thirsty, we drank tap water or water from the stream . bottled water
didn't exist.
We never got
ill even after sharing the same juice or drink with four friends.
We didn't put on weight even after eating plate
full of sweets, garri, yam, plantains. On special days (Xmas. New Year) we had
rice and chicken.
Nothing
happened to our feet even after roaming and kicking ball made of rags or rubber bare footed
We never used
any health supplements to keep ourselves healthy.
We used to
create our own toys, bamboos, carton and milk tins.
Our parents
were not rich, and they never chased after money. They just searched for and
gave only love.. not any worldly possession.
We never had
mobile phones, DVDs, Play stations, X-Boxes, video games, personal computers,
internet, instagrams, Facebook, but we had many good friends.
We used to
visit our friend's home unannounced and enjoyed food with them. We never had to
call them and ask for their parents permission to visit their home.
Loving people
were near to 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 find colourful memories in them
The Ultimate
is that we are a unique and the most understanding generation, because we are
the last generation that listened to their parents and also the first that have
to listen to their children.
We are the
last set of people to treck kilometers bare footed to school, and yet carry our
children to school in cars or by drivers.
The last
generation to enjoy free public school education but the first to pay to train
children In private schools.
We had less
homework in our days so we could help our parents in home duties but have to
assist our kids in their homework who cannot assist parents or maids in home
duties.
We are not
special, but a LIMITED EDITION and
ENDANGERED SPECIES. I am proud I belong to this noble generation.
