Compliment of the season.
It's that time of the year again where firecrackers will become the order of the day. In most street especially in a village settings, if you are not chase by masquerade, firecrackers will scare life out of you, even more than masquerade does. Because at least in the case of masquerade, you will see people following and making sound, but in firecrackers, you might not even know where it's coming from. Probably you might just want to walk pass a compound and they will just shoot it to scare you.
They find pleasure in you being scared and screaming for help.
I remember one time I travel to spend Christmas with my grandmother in the village. My male cousin's came around too. They knew my weak points and they used it against me. I mean this boys made me strong by force.
I do see them hold it in their hands and it will shoot without them shaking.
So I wanted to proof to them that what a man can do, a woman can do more better 😂... ahhh
I asked them to light it for me that I will do it the same way they did.
Long story short, after my guy made the light, I could not hold it, Na so I take keep amm run.
I did not just run but the shock every moment when I remember that.
My cousin's use that to laugh at me, every little talk in the house they will use that to make jest of me.😂
The fact that I wanted to feel among Marvel's me. Like..the act was so dramatic because at first I was acting like one strong woman they have trained me to be.
I also remember the incidence that do happened on the street 31st night.
I mean before we will walk to house my heart will be skipping so fast, like what if these people shoot this thing at my direction. Because of my fear, I begged my Grandma to stay back in church until the day dawn. But my grandma said no.
I mean this woman is strong ohhh, what do you expect, she trained boys and that made her.
Firecrackers is fun to some people.
But to me, it's not fun at all, it's so scary. Thank God some communities have prohibited that act just like the masquerade case.
I know it's quite interesting as it makes the season count. But anything that involves fire, count me out.
Just because my cousin's knew about my fear, they will always use that to threatened me to surrender my stuffs to them when my grandma is not around.
I am always afraid of fire crackers, I don't know if there's anybody like me.
