    Things About Growing Up in Nigeria in the 2000s Only Some People Will Understand. 1) Saturday mornings were never yours. Before cartoons. Before football. Before visiting your friends. There was work to do. You swept the compound, washed the bathroom, cleaned the sitting room, washed your school uniforms, and sometimes even fetched water before anyone mentioned television. At the time, it felt unfair. Looking back, those Saturday mornings quietly taught many of us responsibility before we even knew the word. 2) The way your mum called your name told you whether to relax or start praying. If she called your first name softly, you were probably safe. But the moment your middle name and surname entered the conversation, your heart rate increased immediately. Before she even explained what happened, you had already started remembering everything you'd done wrong that week. Nigerian mothers didn't need to raise their voices. Your full name was a warning enough. 3) Missing your favourite cartoon meant waiting until next week. There was no Netflix. No YouTube. No Watch Later.lf Ben 10, Power Rangers, or Tom and Jerry came on while you were sleeping or doing chores, that's on you. Missing an episode meant spending the next week hoping your friends didn't spoil it for you. 4) Adjusting the TV antenna made you the family's broadcast engineer. One person stood outside turning the antenna while someone inside shouted instructions. "Is it clear?" "No!" "Turn it small!" "No, you've passed it!" It took teamwork, patience, and somehow it always worked eventually. 5) The internet wasn't something you had. It was somewhere you went. Going online meant going to a cyber cafe. You paid for your time, prayed the internet wasn't slow that day, and tried to finish everything before the attendant reminded you that your minutes were almost over. Opening Yahoo Mail or chatting on Yahoo Messenger felt like entering another world. 6) "Flash me" was a legitimate way to communicate. Airtime was too precious to waste. So instead of calling, you'd ring someone's phone once and cut the call immediately. They already knew what it meant: "Call me back." Nobody questioned it because everybody was doing the same thing. It wasn't stinginess. It was financial wisdom. 7) Your neighbour had permission to discipline you. There was a time when Nigerian parents believed raising a child was a community project. If your neighbour caught you climbing someone's fence or fighting outside, they didn't wait for your parents to come home. They corrected you immediately. Then they reported you anyway. You received discipline twice for the same offence. 8) Party packs determined whether a party was successful. Forget themed decorations or expensive backdrops.None of that mattered to us. The real excitement came at the end of the party when it was time to collect the party pack. We'd open it before getting home just to compare whose own was better. If yours had a bottle of Coke, biscuits, sweets, and a meat pie, you knew you had attended a big party. 9) One CD could contain twenty different movies. The cover might say Spider-Man. The movie would start with Jackie Chan. Halfway through, it suddenly became a Yoruba film. Nobody complained. You simply accepted whatever the DVD decided to give you. 10) After a certain time, the television belonged to your parents. You could forget about cartoons. Once evening came, it was time for the News, African Magic, or your parents' favourite soap opera. There was no democracy when it came to the remote. The owner of the house owned the television schedule. 11) "I'm coming" never actually meant "I'm coming." If your mum ever told you, "I'm coming," you already knew not to take it literally. She could still be bargaining over tomatoes, stop to greet three different people she hadn't seen in months, buy something she never planned to buy, and somehow still insist she was "coming."

    @MrNJ39 @yahoomail Agreed. This version is rubbish. The font is dreadful and is counter intuitive. The previous version was fine. Nothing wrong with it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It wasn’t. Please give us the old, good version back.

    Security Issue with Yahoo Mail ?? Was logging into Yahoo Mail, was being asked for verification from phone etc. The first OTP that came was from VIPINDIASHAADI - naturally I ignored. Requested again, this time from Yahoo - but the OTP is same, which means the first one was valid also. But this cannot happen without a mixup that definitely has a security implication. #yahoo #Cybersecurity

    @kmcnam1 That can't be true. They did used to ask you to upgrade to get more storage. Until the past coupl years, my problem with Yahoo mail was their awful spam detector that let spam and phishing emails get through.

    @sidrachain I can't login with my registered yahoo email, if I use Gmail instead, it directs me to start verification again on a new account, my account has been verified fully, why can't I gain access back into my already existing account? Codes are not been sent to my registered yahoo mail

    Hey @yahoomail, you won't let me swipe away an ad, but instead every time you want me to sign up (pay) for your mail plus. Well it's your server, so screw you, it can sit there forever as far as I'm concerned. I was just trying to save you the space. All the best...

    @Flexycoll6 Hello Mr flexy. I can see that SCT do sometimes respond to your comments or request. Pls kindly help help us who signed up using Yahoo mail by letting the SCT to know that we are not receiving the otp and so we couldn't login. Pls don't just pretend as if everything is fine.

    @yahoomail: Why do I delete emails, and then more emails magically appear that weren't there before? This has been a very annoying issue, and it risks overlooking important emails!
