If You Did Not Read Any Of These Books, You Did Not Grow Up In The 90's by ilevic(m): 7:55pm On Mar 02, 2017
How many of these books did you read while growing up?


On a MISSION TO KALA, I saw a BURNING GRASS. Beside it, was a MINE boy, crying EFURU!!! I told him, "WEEP NOT CHILD", because while the ARROW OF GOD strikes, THINGS FALL APART and everything will be NO LONGER AT EASE
Anyways, I am going for am AFRICAN NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT. There, we shall have TOAD FOR SUPPER though I am going WITHOUT A SILVER SPOON. Also there, we will know more about WIVES' REVOLT and learn more about THE TRIAL OF BROTHER JERO before the DRUMMER BOY'S performance. I hope to be back before EZE GOES TO SCHOOL so as to witness the RETURN OF SHITTIMA who married RALIA THE SUGAR GIRL

I love that story. One of the morals of the story is that revenge is sometimes more expensive than forgiveness.

Well obyrich it also depends on the what side you are looking at it from. All I see is betrayal and not keeping to agreement on the part of Zainab's folks. For crying out loud, she was already betrothed to Abu. To the highest bidder indeed embarassed cry angry

True. There are many lessons to be learnt. I mentioned one of them. Abu was rightly annoyed but the cost of revenge was too much for the wrong done.

Yeah you're right. The cost of revenge was just too much. The funny thing: the guy eventually lost his life. What a tragic ending.
