HopeNeverDies:
Damnnnn! The year they amalgamated Nigeria.

The sinful year!!

That gal up there in the picture is a product between Lord lugard and Flora, his mistress...in other words, she's a daughter of the then governor-general of the territory called Nigeria...

How did I get to know? I could hear you ask.
Well, my grandmother and grandfather related the story in detail to me.
They said the reason why the baby was smoking was that she saw the disastrous future of bringing the southern and northern sides into harmony.
...when my grandma opened her mouth to narrate, hot tears filled her eyes and her nose ran like a tap.
... Florence, the baby's name told her parents to their faces that she won't go to the amalgamation. However, all her plea fell on deaf ears because Lord lugard dragged her to the site and kept repeating as they traveled on the pathways, " you must witness it, you must witness it".

My grandma who served as a cook and maidservant said, as soon as they got back to their quarters after the 1914 amalgamation occasion, Florence was looking so flushed, forlorn, and red with anger.

She barely stepped foot on the flights of stairs when she blurted in a voice masked with emotions, " I WANT TO SMOKE IGBO"

Lugard was utterly shocked.
Flora was shaking like a patient suffering from Parkinson's disease. The whole household was stunned.

Florence, then with hands akimbo stared her parent's bang in the eyes and said the following words, " papa and mother why would you join two different sides that have almost nothing in common" why?

With tears streaming down her face she slowly Said, pls hand me a lightbox (lighter), I want to smoke away my sorrow.

Immediately Lugard fetched a cigarette lighted it and gave it to her.

Elizabeth, come and take a picture of her smoking Flora said. Then my grandma rushed and speedily took a snapshot.

must be a wise kid
