Clearly you are a 2000 baby so you can not know the joy of winning a balloon at the bazaar or at the end of year party or at a carnival.

The reason is because they always removed that number 31 so that the big balloon will attract the kids to play.
One of my neighbour that have provision shop wanted to remove the big balloon number which is 31. I was watching her my behind unknown to her, I observed it so tirelessly I make sure I pictured it very well, I now went to the next street to play and I won the big balloon that day was over whelming the kids raised me up some even followed me to my house. grin

Thats a point

Does anyone have any of those old coins?
My girl wants some for her collection but you dont use them anymore

Shes got that extinct stuff from lots of countries
If you have any you want to get rid of, consider it an antique you're selling for a mixed race girl to have a connection to half of her

One of the biggest scams I’ve known since childhood. Did you ever win the biggest balloon?
It is very strange that I never fell for all these nonsense from Childhood days till the Days of Real and Cool, Penny Wise, MMM Ponzi Schemes, etc. I still wonder why my Mom didn't tell me the Truth that I'm strangely Special even from Womb till she accidentally revealed it when I was already 29 Years Old. My friend started asking what kind of Human being is this at Age 12 because whenever we gather to play dice or betting games, immediately I won much money, I will excuse that I want to go pee. Then I go straight to Food Seller to buy Rice and Plenty meat that are more than the rice. After over-full up satisfaction, I then return with small change to continue the Betting which some times I lose but does matter anymore because I already eaten more than 100 times what I brought earlier. Later I use the money to buy designer jean, keep at home and the return with small change to continue. They were all older than me, yet All of them always got stuck into thinking they would win More and then lose all Money they won and ended with zero, never me! All Glory to ALMIGHTY CREATOR of Humanity.

Did she give it to you eventually?

What is the point of winning a prize, and she not giving it to you on the spot?

I hate topics like this cos I didn't enjoy my childhood because I didn't live with my parents. I was suffering in the hands of my uncle and his terrible wife. I wasn't even allowed to go to sch. Was always abused, insulted, emotionally and physically assaulted. Till date, I don't know what love is. I can't love, and I don't want anybody to show me love. Loving me seems like you're about to hurt me.

May God judge all those who suppressed my childhood and denied me love. Thank you for making me timid even as an adult. But no worries, I'm trying to overcome it
This is just sad.

I've always said it that it is better for parents to sell akara together with their children, than to give them away, in the name of hardship.
There is no excuse for giving away your children.
It is very important for children to have a happy childhood.

May God heal your heart. 🤍

I'm guessing showing you love with #10,000 will hurt you deeply since you don't want anybody to do so.

Grow up

Try living with yourself after your parents go above and beyond to try and kill you over money

Being removed from your family completely after killing your parents in self defence at 13

Being emancipated and made a legal adult at 13 and sent to a dump like the UK to live as a man

Stop acting so hard done by
Even African parents rarely do stuff like that to sons

Same thing I said. No parents should release their children to anyone no matter who they are. They will damage them mentally, socially, emotionally and even physically. Its so sad. I can't say anything else.

God forgive me,a woman that sells this happens to be my mum's friend and we do stay in the same compound,so one day I was determined to get that big one,so I helped her children to pack their goods at night so as I was doing so,I just carried that balloon paper and peeped at the back and I saw the number of that big one,then the next day I went there and told them I was to try luck boom I got the big one
