“Where are you from?”
“Aba”
“You’re not serious”
If I got 100 Naira every time I’ve had this conversation, I’d be
writing on a new hp pavilion PC and
not a borrowed Acer notebook.
I live in Aba, Abia State and considering the kind of
publicity we get, our motto should be:
Aba...business, bad roads and bad governance.
You’re not even surprised by this, because, when you read Aba, you first
thought of bad roads.
As an average girl that lives in Aba, this is supposed to be
my routine:
Be born ==>
go to school ==>
after secondary school, participate in computer training for a year ==> study whatever the
school system throws at me ==> graduate ==> marry ==> have kids ==> start one business ==> continue
I am not supposed to...
- · Learn to use the computer on my own
- · Enjoy the mentalist
- · Understand Passenger or James Arthur
- · Find enjoyment in John Grisham’s pages
- · Quote Gandhi
- · Be dissatisfied with the thought of a degree in Religious Studies
- · Want to have a rubik's cube
- · Want to own a dog
- · Not be interested in owning a big shop
- · Conceive the thought of writing for a living
...among other things...
