chei serious ajepakks for me o!!lmao. but smal ajebutta enta me sha remember watching sesame street at 4pm after school and forced siesta etc. it was a mix
Think you left the group that had a mixture of both worlds.
What do u call someone who eats pako and bura?
Confused shey? It was kinda an equal mix for me too...did everything on ur lists... just that
1. The bicycles were rented
2. The comics borrowed or tapped
3. Sea shells...well the few times i followed by ajebo family friends to the beach
4. i made my own superted from old clothes and foam
5. Ofcourse...i trimmed my hair every week...thanks to blade and comb
6. Indoors when its raining-only when Iya Segun was at home...when she's not, we played 'rain ball'.
7. Watched Sesame street...that was the only way to learn english...unlike most ajebo homes, vernacular was allowed in my house
8. Afternoon siesta...who sai? Well the few times i was ill
9. Ludo and Monopoly...Ludo, yes...monopoly...only made sense to me when i went to london
10. Lego...well...sort of...just that the pieces where never complete...we always got the fairly or very used ones.
11. We went to the park at the weekends alright but only during christmas or Easter weekends
....ok...i don try

Went for the serial; ANOTHER LIFE cos i never liked tales by moonlight.
Wore Bata to school
but we were bi-lingual in our house. lolll

Nice weekend dear
Hmmn...I was too buttered...too too buttered I can't help wondering how I became so razz...I remember pako peeps used to reminisce abau those stuvz n laff...
My folks tried all they could to make us ajebutter and even after five years in america, it took just a year to catch up on the pako stuff. That was where the fun was. . .

Only when I visited my siblings in the cities or my ajebota friends did I get to be ajebo for that moment or just watched thier ajeboism life style.
Well done LG, na who you go tag? And which grp do you belong?

Nostalgia!!!!
Looking at your list I'll definitely say I'm 70% ajebutta and 30% ajepako. In boarding school I had the nickname 'butter', cos I couldn't light a stove or use a coal iron. I fought so hard to be as ajepako so I'd be like everyone else. I think I'm quite comfortable in both camps now. Though I do find the attitude of some so-called ajebuttas quite annoying. Interesting post.
lol im a mixture of both..i was a devoted fraggle rock/ladybird/enidblyton reader..but i still played ten ten and ludo and all that other stuff..i miss my childhood mehn..chei!
