Just for laughs...

Some people will believe anything u say if u have the right expression on.So I was about to leave for the state library to round up my research on the origin of Igbos(coming soon on this blog) when my sister asked where I was going. I replied that I was going to Nhi- the land of dwarves to do a story on them. She was enthralled and asked if there were actual dwarves there and if there were normal sized people there too.I replied in the affirmative and added that the normal people where the few women who had married dwarf men and their even fewer offspring that had escaped dwarfism.I then went on to explain their quaint little houses and how every thing in their kingdom was dwarf-size even the trees.she was almost bursting with excitement and begged to follow me...lol.I let her follow me.She took lots of selfies and tweeted "off to Nhi the land of dwarves...pictures in a bit" n her social media crew was agog with excitement as she patiently replied all their questions on the proposed trip.when we parked in front of the library she looked at me as if to say...Is this Nhi? I motioned for her to calm down n follow me.Inside the library I went to the children's section and got her the original version of Gulliver's travels. She nearly threw it at me and we laughed so much that the librarian nearly threw us out.Land of dwarves...really? Oburugodu "tales by moonlight?"

The old man in this picture is blind and stands everyday at Arroma junction Awka begging those boarding buses to Onitsha for money while he sings the following words              Agha o!              Agha ajoka!              Agha mesirim ike              Shelling baram anya              Nwannem nyere my aka o!              Isi ajoka! Papa sings this song over and over with outstretched arms begging alms. He says shards of shelling got into his eyes during the war and blinded him.     Grandma said my father hadnt always been her first son...she had Nwachukwu before my father but he got lost while they fled from one village to another during the war. ****************************************** Yesterday,May30th was the remembrance day for the fallen heroes of the horrific and macabre genocide of 1966 by Northern Nigeria against Easterners. Ndiigbo declared the day a compulsory sit-at-home in honor of the dead. I was extremely pleased that it was a huge success.I read a lot
