Harmattan
It was a hot afternoon today that I felt like some vapors are really going out of my scalp to heaven to fall in the next rainy season.
There and then I remembered vividly my growing up in the town called “OGIDI”. There we lived in the archdeacon’s secretariat 8 flats, 1 layer building filled with lots of children from different fathers and mothers in same pri school, my family has the largest number of boys yea 3boys.
Try not to get bored!
Why?
I want to blow your mind!
I know most of us still don’t remember these facts about harmattan because we think that we are at the jet age aka ‘computer age’.
This the period when children’s pet named ‘BENJI’ is found lol I know some of you do while some don’t! ye yea let me tell you about “BENJI” is a small insect that looks like a beetle ;yam beetle, has blue wing, and most found in the Bahamas’ I mean mini bush down here in the east. You bring it and mount it in that Bahamas’ pollen stem and you take it home as much as you can have catch as your pet. Sometimes dad helps to catch it for us.
Grasshoppers’ I remember this the period I do remove my school stockings from my legs, puts it on on my hands and dives around the school fields catching lots of them and feeding them lol I can still remember some names like “ota aja, ogbo, ogbu nma, ukpana ekensu, ocho ogu” ye yea wow can’t believe I still do I know you know few you can still recall and added to the few mentioned.
Why did I write this? you might be asking me, What’s the point?
The point is this, what was your root? What story can you tell your unborn kids about how you’re growing up was? Will you lie to them? Telling them at their age you were obama’s right hand man? Really!
No matter how the world is revolving or evolving never forget the family your from.
Your humble beginning.
Our parents are our role models but you mustn’t copy all there wrongs too, edit it and do some changes to suit you.
To be frank I miss all those moments it made me who I am.
