#weekend-engagement You know we all have these chunk of childhood memories we really find hard to let go off, they forever remain just like morning dew. Birthdays are all about gifts, merry and making memories to hold till the next, not leaving out the the silent wishes just about blowing off the candle lights.

This is me smiling to the fan in my room reminiscing about the last as it's the first day in October already. Independence day it is as Nigeria marks yet another year of liberation from the European colonizers and Public holiday declared to mark the celebration. Surely, no school so I had all day long with mom and dad.

That very day over breakfast, I reminded mom and dad about my fast approaching birthday and requested gifts, mom promising a wrist watch and dad willing to change my old bicycle, I was overwhelmed with the way it was super easy to get those promising as I was rest assured I'll get them.

Days to weeks and finally it's the eve to my birthday, to cut the chase. I was in school that day, brilliant as usual with studies and got back home anticipating the big day, 19th day of October.

It was night fall already, around 6pm, dad got back with a bit of low vibe unnoticed to me.

Muheez! Muheez!! Muheez!!!
Yes sir... As I answered him on my way back from the kitchen. Take this #2,000 he said and get me recharge card as he wanted to send urgently to someone.

I got my shorts and dashed out as I saw it as an opportunity to play and see my friends before dusk. On getting to the the vendor there was a long queue, I had to wait and hang around. I noticed there was an uproar at the front needing change as I saw I had what was needed, someone stretch forth to collect the money and pass ahead, I just passed with assurance that I'll get my card when it was finally my turn.

Then came the devil himself, my play partner, he approached saying we should go check up something before my turn I didn't refuse followed him and we ended up lost in the act of play and lost track of time.

It was already dark before I noticed running down to the vendor shop to get my card as I believed I already paid, on request she demanded money and I said I gave out change some time ago, she plainly refused not collecting which was right someone did took advantage of the moment, took the money from me and did get the money across.

I felt used and knew I was in trouble instantly, sweat popped up my face with fear going down my spine.

To cut it, my dad got really mad not only with the sum lost but with the time wasted and how stupid I acted. I was scolded and payed dearly with all moments I dreamt of happening on my birthday as nothing did happen. 19th went just normal at home, remember it being a Saturday. My parent saw it a way to discipline me and I'm glad I learnt the hard way but hard to erase the scars though.

The lesson being work while you work, play while you play.

He later ended up apologizing and bought me ice cream the following week but the gift didn't come.

What a year to remember!

They literally have attempeted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

Thata's a hard lesson to learn Muheez, but I'm sure it was the last time you did that. Not a great birthday to remember, but a valuable lesson.
