They Call Us Names, Butwe Wont Change
« on: September 08, 2007, 03:10 PM »

they say we are stupid because:

 we will not kill for money rituals

 its a taboo in our land for women to commit adultery (no one need to find out, they will confess by themselves and no one will force them to)

 we don't have an AVARICIOUS desire for wealth

 hardly do we take bribe, so in offices we are seen as cogs-in-wheels

our wives do not kill dia husbands to inherit his wealth

 we hardly boast of whatever we have
 
 we ARE humble (and this is taken for stupidity)

but in all these we wont change

All Hail Nska. Hometown for the Great Lions and Lionesses.  Chinua Achebe, Amanda Adichie, Soludo and most of Igboland's who-is-who are all products of these serene college community.

And between, I get my most potent "remote control" from the area to keep me connected to my ancestors and ward off winches.  ASHUA!!!
