My Lovely Picturesque Home Town
« on: January 24, 2006, 04:29 PM »

Oguta, in Imo State of Nigeria, is my home town. It is a table land about 2 kilometres square, and safe for Egbu-hill, through which the only road into town was cut, my home town is surrounded by water.

Rivers Obanna and Njaba run through both the north/west and east of town and empty into a basin called Lake Uhamiri by which nestles Oguta.

Just as you have to descend the steep Egbu-hill into town, to reach the very blue Lake or the rivers, you must either walk or drive down steep slopes, such that when the yearly floods arrive, my home town is well out of its reach.

Being a tourist destination, speed boats and water skiers and kayaks are daily spectacles on the Lake, across which miniature sizes of golfers, Africans and Europeans, could be seen playing at the Oguta motel's International Golf course.

Best of the features of my home town is the nightly parade on Ameshi road, the oldest thoroughfare in town, on which every evening evening well dressed tourist and natives stroll up and down, chatting well into the night. Grin
