It is the height of insensitivity and foolishness for someone to pick his or her phone and dial your number and after the exchange of pleasantries, the next thing you say is, "Shebi you have forgotten me nau". Like, what audacity is that? If it were that easy, why didn't you pick your phone, remember them, dial their number and call them.
It is also the climax of foolishness to keep malice with people you're close to, simply because they fail to celebrate your birthday on the social media. Truth is, people are going through a lot, some, which is so bad, have even "forgotten themselves" due to life's struggles and hardship.
It is very common for people to go for weeks without airtime and data, and many are always online due to the fact that, since they can't recharge, they could, at least, access Facebook free mode to keep abreast with what is going on around the world.
For someone to pick a phone and call you should make you grateful that, despite the hardship, someone still remembers to check up on you. Also, keeping malice with a person for failing to celebrate your birthday is foolishness.
Do you ask yourself how long it has been since they've been online? If they were online the week or day of your birthday?
I think, it is high time, we stopped having some feelings on unwarranted entitlement and learn to appreciate the little efforts people put in to celebrate, check up and relate with us, despite the fatal blows life deals them.
