Mine is 0. I mean subzero.

I suffered right from birth, lost my parents same day at age 7. Just myself and younger ones. Its from one tragic experience to another. It wasn't my intention to be created, else, I wouldn't have agreed to be born into this cold world

I know some of us don't have a good childhood days while some of us have..

Why Una no dey ever answer Una own question but will want someone to share his or her own view

9/10. My childhood set was lucky to experience both the analogue and digital ages. We were wandering around game shops playing Mario at the same time playing various traditional analogue games(floor tennis, biro fight, hide and seek, street wars, catapulting, rubber rings, chewing gum stickers etc) . Why I didn't give it a perfect 10 was because I didn't experience the whole of it like my friends because my parents were stricter with my movements. My close friends could spend five hours away gallivanting while I couldn't. We thank God for His mercies

Mine was great .
I went to a decent private primary school in the 90s
Pops introduced me and my siblings to video games snes and sega genesis ..
Growing up I didn’t play much on the street,
but my house was where every neighborhood kid wants to be.. due to fun of playing different games on cartridges ..


So mine is a 10..

10/10 God gave me the warmest and most doting mom in the world, she made sure I lacked nothing, I was privileged than kids my age, I got new things early when others were managing old stuff, she was doing well financially, and she love me die, too bad in my adulthood I lost her, I couldn't show her half of what I planned to show her for the love she showed me growing up.

3/10 very strict parents

Suffer wanted to finish me....no fun at all....the only thing that gave me little joy back then were the few times I played football or other kiddy games with some mates.


I really need to enjoy this my youth and old age as a compensation for my tough childhood

2/10.....

i think 70 percent, so say 7. I played outside a lot, not like children of nowadays that are glued to their gadget, they dont know what they are missing. I played in the rain, in the storm, i ran like a cheetah, i shouted with all my lungs, felt the earth, and hunted insects, flew my kite and aeroplane. Played with my firends, we played a lot of games, I climbed trees and played with thorny trees, i always wnet to trees to take their fruits, and some were very tall, but i threw stones and used very long sticks to bring it down.

After the rain, i felt the fresh air which was full of aroma from the earth, the trees and the insects, then i built some houses with sand.

We played with canter, tires, etc.

I used to play even where they throw dirty, looking for anything there, played with termite hills, invaded ants kingdoms with flood of water and they come out to bite me

I how i will even march that rodent with thorns, very painful

I played with ores, melted some ores like aluminium, cooked outside, go to hunted places, . Children can play

10 oo
childhood was fun then

10/10 very enjoyable, may God bless the soul of late parents, despite being from typical village, Mmafu Oduma as of 1998-2000, I can boldly bate that I was the first kid from my village to have visited lekki Bar Beach, I could everything that happen that day, how my daddy treated us like a king , name any kind of toys, my dad will buy it and bring it to his first son.. I was ired by my fellow children then, my only promise is that my son kenechukwu will enjoy... he is just 2 months but, I am very sure he is already having the feelings of love and care.. I will spoil him with happiness... so help me God.. Rip oke ntu 1... my late daddy.
unfortunately both parents could not live long to enjoy from me...
But my wife and children will definitely feel this burning love from me...
Funny enough, we the children and my mom are based in the village, but every school holidays, my dad will pay for our transport from Enugu to Lagos, I could the night journey from Ekenedirichukwu transport then.
To be a first son is always joyful.

So sorry, may her lovely soul rest in peace....

I deg clothes using paper cuttings with my next door Chinese neighbours, the aroma from the noodle soup made by their mum could resurrect anything, back then in Barnawa GRA.

I went with my dad to th trade fair and , just holding his hands , the big man took me everywhere, I tasted rice crisps for the first time . I learnt how to play lawn tennis at NBL senior staff qtrs , and swimming at hamdala hotel pool , with my friends. I had a lot of friends, from all over the world.

I rate mine 9/10. In the elementary school in those days, there was nothing sweeter than pouring a cup of garri into your pocket, with one or two cubes of sugar. During the break time, you would be working around like Dangote, with a hand in your pocket. While bigger boys follow you around like bodyguards, to protect you, the garri and their own interests. That same day, you will gain new friends and also make new enemies.

10/10
I really enjoy my childhood ☺️. Now responsibilities wan finish me.

Miserable

That sound lethargy bro. It's well. You can always make a good story out of your Childhood story. It's people like you that always make it big in life. Don't be down bro, just stay focus in whatever you do and soon, you will make it in big way.

You weren't allowed outdoors?

11/10

Writing a book based on it.

Full of drama, pain, happiness, thrill, and everything imaginable and hilarious. Community growing of kids was fun. They killed that vibe today. Area no safe again for kids. Years when kpako and ajebo mingled. Now, classism ti take over.
