RTID:
I don't know if this also happens in your house.

Whenever it's time to go back to school, my siblings would cry. Most especially my younger sister. A day or two days before I'm to go back, aunty will lose appetite and be extremely quiet. I'd catch her sobbing quietly. It would break my heart.

I would even be thinking of staying back😂

On the day I'm to travel, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Tears upandan.

Even my mum would become emotional.

Someone that sees when the whole family is escorting me to the junction will think I'm going away for thirty years.

My mum would walk beside me. Her wrapped tied loosely up to her bosom with a gown beneath. At intervals, she'd use the end of the wrapper to wipe her eyes.

She'd be telling me to be strong even though she's the one crying.

My siblings would trail behind. Chin down with a very sad expression. My sister won't even be able to look me in the eyes.

Finally, a vehicle would stop and I'd get in struggling with my bags with my dad closely behind me.

My mom and siblings would keep waving till the vehicle is out of sight while wiping the corner of their red eyes and sniffing.

I'd sigh and look at my dad sitting beside me.

'Dad, you know I'm a big girl. I know the way to the park'

He'd smile softly. His eyes lighting up and crinkling by the sides.

'I know but you're still my baby'

Knowing I wouldn't win the argument, I'd stare out the window.

The park is where the trouble begins.

My dad would walk around telling whoever cares to listen, his young daughter is already in the University, with a proud look on his face.

Then they would start shouting "wow wow" like siren while I stand there like a goat wishing the ground would open up and swallow me.

He'd take it far by going to meet the driver to take care of me, his precious child as I was going back to the University after the holiday.

Should I talk about the 2/47 calls from my parents?

'Where are you now?'

'Have you eaten?'

'Did you take your drug?'

'Are you comfortable?'

'Give someone the phone. I need to know where you are now'

"God will take you there safely'

'Tell the driver not to rush o. Make him drive safely'

'Una vehicle too de slow o'

'You never reach Ore?'

'Nawa o. Why una vehicle go spoil na?. Give driver phone make i ask am wetin happen. Una never reach anywhere the motor don spoil'

It might get to a point I'd have to put my phone on flight mode for a while.

There was a time I was going back to school and the vehicle spoilt at Benin. We had to lodge at a hotel there since it was very late at night.

My parents told me not to sleep at all but pray till the next morning. They said it's not safe as i don't know the place and anything could happen.

I didn't listen sha. The next morning i woke up to my whole body filled with bites from bedbugs.

My mum said it's because I didn't listen to her. If i was awake praying, it wouldn't have happened.

U never see anything... https://www.nairaland.com/7231888/simping-should-crime....it-should-illegal#114799297

Some men have very low self esteem and allow themselves to be treated like trash because they have no game and feel they cant get another woman....

. them plenty for this nairaland... check their comment....u will see them worshipping women and blaming their fellow man and themselves for their wife's toxic behavior

..i see one comment one day...guy.. i nearly vommit...even a female moniker was shocked.

Pathetic

No more good contents on nairaland again people now dish out fake stories just to keep the forum running, go to Car talk section (the most educative section) you'll shake your head, some miscreants have taken over.

To the story, no human on earth will be that stupid, so the story isn't credible.

Brilliant

Emu4life:
Hahahahaha
Had similar experience one time at Mararaba or Nyanya, can't remember precisely. Omo, I nearly cried. To make it Worst, I was served food that looked like it was warmed, after wasting my time for almost 45 minutes.

Anytime I'm passing by that restaurant, I feel like throwing Putin's Hypersonic Missiles into that Restaurant for serving me an expensive sh! t

Expensive shiiit indeed

Shakathezulu1:
Buhahahaha. See as you dey display your ignorance openly.
GSM was used Worldwide before the Obasanjo government gave network providers the license for use in Nigeria.
Even before license was given, men dey rock satellite phones then.
So wetin you wan try proof.

Avoid me please

Shakathezulu1:
92 ke. Baba easy oh.

The first time I saw GSM was 1999 at alaba international with some igbo guys. Don't argue what you don't know bro

Richy4:
OK.. If that lantern dates back to 1992 as you stated, that means u have seen the beauty of Technology before some of us..

But I strongly believe that the lantern came to limelight or rampant after year 2000... I am really certain about it..

How old are you, that'd justify your argument

Rexymania:
Baba I dey lag na, reason me na

If you can work as a barman

Richy4:

Maybe you got yours 2000s. My brother brought it from Abuja to my home town, ikeji Arakeji in 1992. Get you fact right

Richy4:
I agree with him I think it was Y2K period... 2001-ish

LOL. That's not possible. I know what I'm talking about

Bugatie:
Sorry about your loss, but that wasn’t 1992 era

Thank you. It was. What year then?

My elder brother WALE brought it from Abuja 1992. My brother died 1993. It brings back sad memories
