I didnt. Thank goodness. My father once yelled at an underaged child in traffic to take her tray and run home very quickly. He was so angry. She was so little. She couldnt have been more than five.  |

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. |

Just saw this thread and it brought back memories. Now I didnt hawk nothing o!! but my mum did. I use to go with her cause we didnt have househelps/baby-sitters. My mum used to hawk tomatoes and akamu (although she was a graduate). Look at me now!! |
