If You Played or Used These Apps and Websites and You’re Not Married, What’s Holding You? Should We Beg You?

You Used 2go, Waptrick, and Bounce Tales — But Still Single? Omo, What’s Going On?

Ah! If you had a Nokia 2700, C3,  express music, Symbian phones or any Java phone back in the day and you still remember 2go, Bounce Tales, and Waptrick, my dear… what exactly is stopping you from getting married now? Should we come and beg you?

This post is for the true OGs—the ones who knew how to flex with just ₦100 10MB of MTN data, download 3GP videos from Waptrick, and flirt in 2go Eskimi chat rooms. If that was your era, sit tight, because we’re going on a sweet nostalgic ride down memory lane.

🎮 The Games We Played on Java Phones

You didn’t need a PlayStation to feel like a pro gamer. Your Nokia 2700, Samsung GT-S5233, BlackBerry or Sony Ericsson K800i was enough to keep you hooked.

Here are the top Java games we all played:

• Bounce Tales – That bouncing red ball frustrated and entertained us at the same time.
• Asphalt 3 & 6 (by Gameloft) – Racing was everything, and this game made you feel like a real street king.
• Real Football 2010 & 2012 – Our own FIFA Mobile. Choose Brazil or Nigeria and conquer!
• Prince of Persia – The sword, the jumps, the drama. What a time to be alive.
• Tetris – Simple, addictive, and never-ending.
• Zombie Infection – Horror lovers, this one had us killing zombies like pros.
• Need for Speed: Most Wanted / Carbon – Yes! Java phones ran NFS. No be today we dey race o.
• Assassin’s Creed (Java version) – Not 3D, but still made us feel like Ezio.
• Diamond Rush – Puzzles and traps… this game sharpened our brains.
• Contra 4 – Boom boom boom! A true classic.

If you mastered these, yet you say you’re not “mentally ready for marriage”… please explain. 😅

The Websites That Made Us Internet Celebrities

Before TikTok and Instagram, there were websites that gave us everything—music, wallpapers, themes, and even online friends. And yes, they all opened through Opera Mini 4.2.

Here are the top websites we browsed religiously:

• Waptrick.com – The GOAT. Music, videos, ringtones, themes. You name it.
• GetJar.com – The ultimate app store for all Java phones.
• Zedge.net – Home of the loudest ringtones and the wildest wallpapers.
• Mobile9.com – Full of customizations and downloads.
• 2go.im – The #1 chat site turned app. We met friends, lovers, and crushes.
• Eskimi.com – The original dating/social chat room in Nigeria.
• Facebook Lite (0.facebook.com) – Free Facebook with no images. Still did the job!
• FunForMobile.com – For prank ringtones and funny clips.
• Nairaland.com (Lite) – Forum kings and queens, where are you?
• Tubidy.com – For converting YouTube videos into 3GP. Those blurry videos meant everything.

Tell me again why you’re still single in 2025. Na Tubidy you still dey use?

The Java Apps That Made Us Feel Smart

Before Android, there were .jar apps that gave us a taste of the future. You had to download them via Opera Mini or transfer through Bluetooth (shoutout to Bluetooth 2.1).

Here are the apps we couldn’t live without:

• Opera Mini – Data saver, download master, and best friend.
• 2go – Status updates, private messages, chat rooms. If you were top 2go babe, you don marry by now!
• UC Browser – Fast downloads, resumable links, and night mode.
• MXit – South African chat app, small size, plenty vibe.
• Nimbuzz – Combine Yahoo, MSN, Facebook chats in one app.
• eBuddy – For chatting with all your crushes across multiple platforms.
• Facebook Java App – Scroll with keypad. Simple but addictive.
• Snaptu – It gave us Facebook, Twitter, and weather in one tiny app.
• BlueFTP – You used this to hack Java games or copy protected files.
• Binu – Lightweight Wikipedia reader and SMS alternative.

If you had 2go and MXit installed, and you’re not in a relationship now… how did your romantic destiny go off-track? 😭

Memory Cards Were Our Cloud Storage

Let’s not forget our 2GB memory cards filled with:

• 100-in-1 Game Packs (in .jar format)
• DJ ringtone folders (usually “DJ Yk – Latest.mp3”)
• 3GP Naija comedy clips (especially Aki & Pawpaw)
• “To Be Continued” Korean dramas dubbed in English
• Eedris Abdulkareem diss tracks
• MP3s titled “track01.mp3” to “track117.mp3”

Then vs Now

So… What’s Holding You?

If you:

• Played Bounce Tales
• Had a 2go girlfriend or boyfriend
• Used BlueFTP to “crack” games
• Downloaded ringtones from Zedge
• Used Nimbuzz to chat with foreign babes

And you’re still not married, not dating, or still using 2go in secret—what exactly is the issue?

Should we help you propose? Or send you a 3GP wedding invitation? 😭😂

Final Thoughts

That Java phone era was not just fun—it was character-building. You learned how to:

• Save data
• Chat smartly
• Download like a pro
• Hide chats from your parents

You had 2go love, and Waptrick vibes… so if you’re still not in a serious relationship in 2025, omo we go need to beg you.

Drop your 2go username in the comments if you were among the real MVPs 😄
