Oh my friend, I was privilege to be born in early 80' where life was life. Where moral and respect exists, where cost of living was better, where you could watch program on tv station compare to this days where everything have now gone to cable, which give wider room between the rich and the poor, it is good for this thing to go to cable, but we should remember the poor, this have make many people to do all means to fit in Oh! The good old days, assuming I wasn't privilege to be born in that era I would have judge against that era. Where will I start, whee.....re pls tell me oh! The good old days. They are some good things in this era but the good have been shallow up by the evil.
Fear every where: Back then a man will go to bed(household) with is two eyes very close, but now the reverse is the case, now a man will go to bed just a little sound is heart will jump, night which is suppose to be a time of rest is now a terror. They is fear every where,even in the globe, insecurity is on the increase, increase in crime rate and the list is endless.
Cost of living: I was not born with silver spoon but my family was ok, my late father could afford three square mean very well, in our compound ( 5 tenant) my father was the first to have a color television, the second to have a black and white tv... To tell you how comfortable we were. Cost of living was ok then compare to now, transportation is on the increase, our electric bill is made, house in the city is hot cake, infant it is now a do or die affair, where an agent give a room to more than one tenant all because of this money, this madness those not exist in those days. Food prices etc name it
No shame: Sorry to say this era have lost it, this era tend to celebrate mediocrity, unlike then. Back then if any person goes to prison, that person and his family will be giving distance etc but now it is now celebrated. I give you an example: a friend of mine but a stolen phone and sold it to someone else and with time the owner of the phone saw is phone and arrested the person was with is phone and my friend was arrested and detail in prison for some month and later was released, the day he came back he was walking with boldness and people where celebrating him and I was ashame.. He was not ashamed of his act
Moral and respect have been lost in this era: oh! The good old days. In those days respect was highly. Children are never afraid of their parents, children don't respect their teacher, In Private School, teachers worth is nothing, when a child misbehave when flog the child, the parent goes to is child school to fight etc, and the next thing is for the owner of the school will warning the teacher. Boys are bord to go to lady house or compound to talk to them, in those days there know born u well to trial am, sorry this is our local English simply mean you can try it
Love.... Ooo.....oh!!! The good old days. I can remember vividly during holidays we always want to go for visit, but now even your own blood brothers and sisters from the same parent is afraid to allow is children to visit is brother or sister children, oh what a wicked thing. This fear of unknown have cause a lot, replacing love for something else. I miss my neighbors back, our parents allowed us to go to our neighbors house and like our neighbors children do the same, we eat at each other houses but now you don't dear .... Real love exists those days unlike now where somebody will be smiling at you but in is heart he his saying something else... Oh! What a great period, oh! The world is finish... No love again, people, agency, government, private, company even the whole world is clamoring/ preaching love, yet they are saying it not really putting it in practice
If I continue your mind will blow because the list is endless. Is it the music, dressing, what is shown in the television, naira to dollars then etc. Good songs that make sense (gospel, hip hop, raggae, dancehall, reggae, r and b etc was songs...go here the songs now...... Oh! The good old days song from Boyz to men, Tupac, fela, Micheal Jackson etc the list is endless. Tears is almost running out of my eye... Oh, the good old days
I am not saying that not good is in this era but what I am saying is that the good in it have been shallow up
Hmm ...m oh, the good old days.
