i can imagine Justgood with those things on his head. there was a guy that used to hawk cooked Akpu back then. he was so lanky. whenever he walked by us, we used to sing Akpu belle o e e Akpu belle o eyaaaa i never hawked anything honestly though but made friends with the hausa hawker. kudos to the hawkers. but that thing should be STOPPED. it lead to boys and men misbehaving. i used to see some boys and men tapping on hawkers bottom and touching their breast. |

hauwa cool down. one day when i was 8yrs old, i was hawking odobiri ofuchie one lady bought all my stuff and paid me less, she asked me to come inside and collect the remaining money but i had to call my aunt who went and took the money. what did a lady want from an 8 yr old. by 7pm? she had the money in her purse, i saw it. but she wont give me. i even offered to give her my friend toshman for sex but she wont accept. she insisted she wants me so women also misbehaved  |
