Pictures kids who grew up in Nigeria in the 90's will relate to

Growing up in Nigeria in the 90's was quite tough, then there were no mobile phones, Television and Video machines was a luxury for the upper middle class and elite, most TV sets were black and white and most often power supply was a problem, kids had to keep busy and probably invented games to keep busy after school some of these games will be written down here while others things that will make you remember your childhood if you grew up in Nigeria will also be uploaded here. This is a work in progress as such, whenever we remember more stuff and we can get pictures of them, we will upload.

1.Canter ball- Probably the kind of all games for male kids, this involved a full squad of players with a goal post and a goal keeper, we really got creative with the goal keepers after a while, the ball could be any round object or after a while we started using the white stuff in radio cassette.

2. Saving box - Although this isn't a game, before all the numerous online banking or mobile banking whenever parents wanted to teach children the culture of saving, they'll get a saving box, unfortunately for me mine didn't last too long, because I always needed cash.
