The day my younger sister was born. I was 5 then. My mum had assured me that I was gonna have a younger brother as the result of her scan had revealed that she was carrying a male child. Immediately I heard she gave birth to a girl, I started crying uncontrollably. She jokingly asked me if she should throw her daughter away and I said no. I also remember one day when I was still in primary school (Not sure how old I was or what class I was in at the time or if it happened before or after the birth of my younger sister). I pooped on my body. I remember the cleaners washed my uniform and I was the only kid in class wearing a singlet. I remember walking home in my singlet with my uniform in hand(My mum told me this happened almost everyday and my teachers told her to pray seriously for me.I think this was the last time it happened). 3 Likes 1 Share |

Well, I don't know how old I was, but I could remember a scene I caused. My aunt touched me with a cassava stem(stick). It barely touched my body, then, I don't know, got a weird feeling and started crying, went to my mum to report that I was beaten by my aunt. Next I knew, my mother and my aunt's mother, who happens to be my grandmother got into a heated exchange, it was a big fight as a result of my crying which I believed my mum overreacted to, I don't know what later transpired or the contents of their outbursts. But I remember walking in on my mother later that night and hell, momma was crying. I felt very guilty, though I don't understand d feeling then but as I grow, I came to realise it as guilt. And in fairness to my mum, I was an only child then cos my mother had stillbirths before me and after I was born, so, I understand her overreaction. Woman had her fair share of going through the agony of losing children, not once, but 4 times. I did not understand any of it then but it happens to be my earliest memory as I grew That event shaped my understanding and made me realise the environment around me and when I try to looked deeper, I realise everything was blank before that event. 1 Like |

nnamdiosu:This your memory muscles carry six packs o. I was feeling fly that I can remember stuff from when I was 2.5 years, now I know I'm a learner. The strange thing is there is a memory gap between age 2.5 and age 5. A complete blank. |

@ Ishilove I remember describing the house we lived in when I was just two to my mum. I can remember standing at the balcony and looking out through the railings at the road. That picture just never leaves my minds eye. Mum was surprised at my description and confirmed we did live in a house like that. We left that house before I was two and half. My dad believes somebody must have described the house to me for me to give such a vivid detail of that part of the house but nobody did. |

Ishilove: My earliest predates this lifetime actually, reasons why I was born, planning for this life etc. Somehow the memories never left me (partial veil of forgetfulness) and have guided me up until this point. I pretty much know how my current life would pan out till the end and my life up until now has panned out exactly the way I was shown. My earliest in this particular lifetime would be during my 1 year old birthday. I remember standing in front of my cake and seeing so many people in front of me which scared me so much that I started crying and ran away from the cake stand as fast as my legs could carry me. This was happening outside (in Port Harcourt) in front of the flat where we lived then and it was around evening getting dark. I ran behind the building then my father walked up to me where I was, smiling he opened up his arms and beckoned on me to come unto him, which I did. It was very calming and he carried me back to my stand. 3 Likes |

I remember when I was like 3 or 4yrs old, there was this nursery & primary school that I was registered in, owned by foreigners. A day came in which we were taken to a music & dance theater in the school, we the boys were taught how to dance along with our fellow female pupils (sometimes even with our female teachers!) while the pianist was playing the piano for us. It's actually part of the school's system of education. Boy! I felt so shy each time I was ask to dance wit a girl. You know na, childhood innocence. Lol! 1 Like 1 Share |

barag:Same way the image i described in my OP has never left my head. That is the only memory I have of my early childhood. The next one is of me in KG 1, and I am telling my class teacher that my name is Benson. Even my first ever school report card has Benson on it. When my mum saw 'Benson' she ran to my school to go and rectify the error |

Ishilove:Lol @ Benson how come your class teacher didn't ask why a girl was being called Benson? |
Re: What Is Your Earliest Memory? by nnamdiosu(m): 4:31pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
Ishilove: lol@ 6 packs well, i dont think that memory gap happens to everyone o. like me, no way. also, another thing ive noticed, or a theory that ive developed is this, children born in this era (camera, videos etc) might be able to remember things even more than us. because they would have trigger memories to remind them of past memories when they see a picture or video. e.g, if i could see a picture of an event that happened when i was born, i could remember some things that i had forgotten or if i see a favorite toy or furniture, it could 'trigger' a pleasant memory in the past. But we didn't have all this in the past so....... |
Re: What Is Your Earliest Memory? by Ishilove: 4:47pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
barag:Heh. I meant surname. I liked the name 'Blessing', so I told my teacher that my name is Ishi Blessing, but my speech was not clear so it must have sounded like 'Benson' to her. Thus, the first term had my report card showing 'Ishi Benson' |

I Can't remember much but there was this particular incident, it was a saturday morning, we didnt go to school and my dad travelled, my mom took us to the shop. my sister was just recovering from sickness then, we were playing and my mom kept warning us about rough play, we didnt listen. My sister suddenly pushed and i pushed her back, not knowing there was a nail head potruding from the table, she started crying and i tried helping her out but i couldnt, my guilty face must haue attracted my mom, she came outside and shouted, tried removing, no way, my 6ta cry attracted attention of neary people, they came and tried, no way, someone later rushed to the nearest hospital to call the matron, she later removed it, took my 6ta to the hospital and treated her. but till now the scar is still there, anytime she bare her back, the memories will surface. i was around 5 then. and no my mom did not beat me because people warned her not to. |

My easiest memory must have been when my step sisters came to visit us during the holidays. They didn't live with us, they lived with my grand parents and he visited them every weekend. We lived in a two bedroom apartment which had no toilet, Very suprising to me now but that was the norm then. Their and then there was this not so light bush which was in the mountains which served as toilet and a dumping ground for the whole Lo and behold we got into the our toilet and dumping ground and saw a pig who had a very new piglets, One of my sisters then said, Pigs who have just given birth always eat people oh . That's how this pig made noise like it would come after us, since we didn't want to be eaten we ran for our dear lives, need to say. I ran with all my Dear strength but my sisters were ahead of me , as were about to out of the mountain sister Ayo, who's my immediate elder Sister fell and rolled down the mountain . So much injuries on her body. We went home with me tailing behind with so much fear cos of my disobedience. Dad was very Livid, oh his previous daughter of course we received no pampering I especially cos i was asked not to go. As I was about explaining the whole story. Dad thundered in his voice, "Get inside and don't be silly".... For some reason I didn't forget that phrase which always triggered this whole memory.. I also remember my first day at school, Was in Nursery 1. This memory would be earlier than the previous As I was going to the ladies, that was what we called it then. The sound of my cover shoe followed me everywhere kokokoka My mum was asked not to wear the shoe for me the next day though. There are a few more memories like Dads' swearing in Ceremony as a counsellor. The 'akanko' we wore that day lol. Every Christmas spent at the village and the serious search for Water we did yearly there... Memories... 1 Like 1 Share |
