Story- Ikemba and the Cripple..... Chapter 1

Once upon a time in the land of Lorji, lived a polygamous family of a great hunter, whose name is Ojinta, but popularly called Oji the hunter by the entire villagers, His quest for a son had led him to marry more wives than he bargained for, he had eight wives in all, each he married in pursuit of a male child, but the more he tried, the more he failed. Out of annoyance he decided not to marry any other wife against the advice of his kinsmen to marry one more wife. 

Determined to get a son, he summoned all his wives one rainy morning and promised to give half of all his wealth to any woman who would give him a male child, already Ojinta had nineteen daughters from his eight wives. The first wife, Nneka had four girls before he married Nkem, the second wife, who gave birth to two female children, then he went to a farther town to marry Uremma, who delivered just a daughter, he didn't give up the search for a male child as he further married Adamma, who delivered twins twice, though they were all female children.

STORY- Iwopin: The Journey, the Camp, the Return.... Episode 2



 As promised in my last post on this story, here is the rest of the story.. enjoy and Happy Children's day.

Trying to turn, I noticed that we were on a cliff, and I told the driver to hold on, so I could be sure the back was good for him to turn, I swiftly came out of the bus and behold, there was a very deep cliff behind the bus, if the driver had moved an inch backward, the bus will dive into the deep ditch at the detriment of we losing our lives, I shouted and called everyone to come out of the bus immediately, as I placed a big stone behind one of the rear tyres before telling the youths what would have happened.

STORY- Iwopin: The Journey, the Camp, the Return

It’s been a while I entertained you with a fun-filled life story, well, if you are reading this, then I am glad to announce to you that you are about to sojourn with me through a fantastic adventure. It is obvious that I love adventures, like taking a naked bath under the rain, jumping down from a moving bike or eating a fresh alligator pepper, yeah, those are fantastic adventures that I will never forget, though I am yet to try Omo detergent (the blue coloured one) as a toothpaste and proposing to a girl on the Lagos state’s third mainland bridge, hahahaha, yeah, some very crazy adventure right?.

 Some of you may wonder why I haven’t posted any cool gist for a while, most especially after the successful #31Days31Reflectors that I blogged throughout the month of January, I still extend my gratitude to all the writers of that successful episode, I am positive that another of such episodes will come up soon. This week, I shall share with you a story that will keep you checking on this blog for more. This story is an extract of all the adventure I experienced between 17th and 21st of April, 2014, exactly, you are correct, that was the Easter celebration week.
