Mrs. Kehinde: Growing up was nice and peaceful. You could go out anytime and play with friends and neighbours. But these days, children can’t do that. Then, one could be allowed to leave home and stay with relatives for some time. But nowadays, one has to be careful. Then we were so free to do what we wanted to do.
