Who are the INDOMIE GENERATION


Do you remember:

Those days when we went to school, lined up and the headmistress and teachers inspect our nails and uniform, then we match to our classrooms?

The days of 'Nasco Biscuit', 'Okin biscuit', 'Trebor', 'Iced Coloured water' tied in nylon (we called it "lolly")?

The days of 'Goody-Goody' and 'Pako Biscuit'?

The day of mixing rice and stew together

The days of soaking bread inside tea

The days of Ali and Simbi, Mr Salami and Mrs Salami, Edet lives in Calabar?

Those days when one naira is money, when groundnut was 5kobo and 'choco milo' sweet was 5 kobo?

The days of messing game, 'who is in the garden', 'police and thief'?

The days of 'Mama and Papa'?

The days when we use to build houses with sand, play 'Suwe game', 'tinco tinco', 'change of style', 'ten ten', 'skipping', 'stop!'?

Those days when we used to fly kite on streets, when boys used to use the paint bucket cover as tire and their daddy's hanger as the steering.

Those days when rubber band was stock exchange?

Those days when votron, jimbo, power rangers, spider man was our favourite cartoons?

The days of limca soft drinks and choco milo advert on black and white TV and Sunday rendezvous by 1:30pm?

Those days when we say 'leke leke give me white finger, I'll give you back'?

Those days when eleganza pen was the best?

The days when we used to drink water from the tap, even suck out the water if it's not coming out?

The days when NTA will show rainbow color for 30 minutes then play the National Anthem before they start their programmes at 4pm?

The days when basket sandals, simbi and Bata sandals were the best?

The days when we all sing 'sandalili sandalili' songs instead of standard living, standard living

Those days when we used to pray for rains so we can go naked and bath under the rain;

Now Dstv and smart phones have come. No more old fun. I'm really proud to have experienced all this.

If you are not smiling, it means you were not born in my generation. And if you did not experience this, it means you are the INDOMIE GENERATION!!!!

Why did David Choose five smooth stones before going to fight Goliath?

Question: "Why did David choose five smooth stones before going to fight Goliath? Was David doubting God? Was it because Goliath had five brothers? Or, was David simply being prepared?" Answer:   Some presume that David took five smooth stones instead of just one because he had some doubt. However, there is no indication in the story of David and Goliath that by picking up five smooth stones instead of one that David was doubting God. Rather, David was simply being prepared. What if the Philistines attacked him after he killed Goliath? How would he have defended himself? David was simply being prepared when he took the four additional stones. Also, he couldn’t have known that one stone would be enough to kill the giant. God had not promised that David would kill Goliath with the first stone. David had experience in defending the sheep he guarded with his sling and stones. It would seem that the animals David had faced were far braver than the men with Goliath, because they al...

Locked In Payback by Linnie Lovin

"Please sir, these two results are really important to me, please I want you to have a recheck on it, I know I can never have a D in both, please Sir help me" Joe begged "My friend, will you get out of my office, or do you want to teach me how to mark? What nonsense!! You had a D, take it or leave it, it can't be changed!!!" Professor Tunde shouted Joe pleaded and pleaded, but all fell on deaf ears. Prof. Tunde was a strict and hard lecturer in the department of Philosophy. He barely passed his students. On the other hand, Joe was a final year student of the department of Philosophy, who had a dream of graduating with a first class. He had struggled to make a Cgpa of 4.6, but with the release of his last two results handled by Prof. Tunde, his Cgpa had dropped to 4.45. And this terminates his dream of graduating with a first class. Joe was heart-broken. However, since nothing could be done to change the mind of Prof Tunde, Joe graduated with a second cla...
