It is for a reason I write this today. I have stayed in the city for some years and now am in the village. I have come to realize that it was a wasted 10 years in the City. Life in the city though interesting was not fulfilling. Those who make it in the city are but, 30%. The other 70% are suffering in silence. That’s why I will remain here in the village, with the following reasons.

1. The village boast of resource I can tap into freely. Though the city boast of numerous resources, its 1 resource to over 1000 persons benefiting from it. I ‘can’t fit drag my own resources o’.

2. Getting an accommodation in the village is easier and cheaper. In the city, you will have to pay through your nose. Not that the accommodations are even wonderful.


3. Marriage in the village is done with understanding from both families. Most times the items needed are subsidized due to closeness. In the city, it is believed that the man has money and as such should spend it. No wonder cut throat dowries are always mentioned.

4. The reason people go to the city is to make a living. That living is nonexistence. In the village you can key into the vast farmlands and feed the ‘city strugglers’. No wonder they pour home at the slightest chance to carry garri and other farm produce from the village.


5. In the village, the men marry early. Its like a challenge as young men are made to marry on time. This cannot be said of the city, as the men have to have money to marry. Most times this money is not forthcoming.

6. In the village, the men find it easy building houses. It will take all your fortune to start a house in the city.


7. The village life is more serene, peaceful and relaxing. Cricket sounds are heard in the background. The city, cause of its hustling nature, is not ideal for relaxation. You only hear frog voice in the background.

8. The village boast of fresh everything; vegetables, fruits, even air. The city is too artificial, even the air. Though they try to get vegetables into nylon bags, its still not fresh.


9. Night life in the village is epic, except for the W people (don’t ask me what W is). The city night is too noisy and fear filled.

10. Most importantly, the village girls are attractive, fresh, innocent, virgin and non-materialistic. The city is filled with plastic girls.
(Though, No. 10 is said with my tongue in my cheek, I still prefer them)
I am waiting for the usual backlash. Even that will be artificial. Village tins on my mind.

You can add your own.

Culled from my village.

My brother, those opposed to this are mostly those who live in slums in Lagos and Abuja. We know them. They form in the day, and soak garri at night.

out of sight is not out of mind.

the west and east can still see you in your village.

they know your village more than you sef.

There is always an iota of truth in a drunken state. Your type only come to the village in December, spend the little they earned and run back to live their drunken and sorry life.
