Boarding House in the 60s,70s and 80s

That bata rubber, apoti nla, trademark metal box (of variegated colours) funny looking native pressing iron those days.

Though days

How can you stop at 1980? Even up to the 90s and 2000s these equipment were highly relevant.

You see that cutlass, back in my day we would bend the tip to form a curve so we can cut stubborn grass. Elephant grass was easy to cut but that stubborn grass is truly stubborn. If you hit it your cutlass will bounce.

That metal bucket once caused a ring to form on my scalp because we had to go a very long distance to fetch water.

I have hidden inside that black and red box to hide from a very wicked senior prefect.

Federal Government Colleges of the old days no be beans.

Yoruba People call that iron box Bẹ́nBẹ́ or Àpótí
