REMINISCING ON THE "THERE'S IT" VIDEO BY THE SHALAMAR MUSICAL GROUP AND OUR TEENAGE YEARS

I just can't stop loving them. Looking at this video will remind you how young these three guys were at the time. Growing up in Nigeria in the late 70s and 80s, playing and listening to their music, we didn't realize they were in the same age bracket. But they were already living their dream, while we were still battling with our West Africa School Certificate - O' Level Examination.

Despite all the odds, we rock. We party hard. And we study hard (awoko). We didn't know sadness. Whether a Boarding student or not, every student looks up to the Long Holiday period (June, July, and August) with excitement. Who can forget the "Send Off Party" organized around June in honor of all the graduating students from your community? It was fun. Sad to say, Nigerian recent generations do not even know what a "Long Holiday" is, due to the massive disruptions of our academic calendar. And I pray the situation gets better at home soon.
