Only in a sane world do leaders come from the people.
Nigeria is a different world.
Leaders come from leaders here.
The Evil politicians recircle themselves. So, don't expect a positive change.

During my days in Omoku, I learnt that Idu fish's bone is poisonous. Once they chook you the bone, you are as good as dead.

My friend told me he once chook a banana tree with idu fish bone and the banana tree started dwindling immediately. I dont know if this is true or not.

Again, cultists always make a weapon from Idu fish bone. They carefully fix it in a ballpoint pen casing and use it to wage war against rival cultists.

Then you must not be eating a lot in Nigeria then. If you knew how crayfish is caught, you probably will never eat another crayfish meal again. Garri? Spread on the roadside

Here is my real life story and everything you need to know about the fish.

The place the fish was caught is an oi-rich community that hosts different companies like AGIP and others. It's a 6-minute drive from my town, which is another oil-rich community.

This is how the pond works. Every community close to rivers in the Niger Delta has it. We have Orashi River with different kinds of fish every year.

Everyone in every community has a personal pond or inherited one. I have mine too. You can never touch another person's pond. If you dare and and you get caught, you'll be disgraced by the youth and you'll pay fine with yam, goat or fowl with some communities work.

Someone told me to accompany him to go bail his father's pond. When got there, he saw a small pond making lots of noise and when he checked, it had LOTS of giant fish.

We embarked on bailing it sharp sharp, but unfortunately, the owner caught us an hour later—come see temple run. It looks like he monitors it everyday.

Luckily for me and my friend, instead of reporting, he only took our bucket and boxers.

We carry nakēdness go back house for night. We had to wait until midnight before using cocoyam leaf to cover our nàkedness. Peer pressure been wan kill me those teenage years.

The funny part was the constant light in the community, all thanks to those oil companies. We were praying for darkness, for the light to go, but no way. To thief no good o. cheesy cheesy

Also, some extended families, which usually start with the prefix "umu" + whatever name they bear will also have a big family pond. It doesn't end there.

The entire community will also have. But, these family ponds and community ponds always have voodoo by the side.

Whether you believe in juju or not, don't EVER fish there, else, rest in peace. They put lots of hollow woods inside the pond to get an enclave so that the fish will see it as their home and won't leave that vicinity.

Two to five years later, some communities even leave theirs for 10 years, they harvest it together, but it's only shared by married men in the family and the unmarried ones who came to help them bail the pond.

How does fish enter?

In raining reason, water flows from Orashi River to those ponds with different kinds of fish. Unfortunately, catfish and West African lungfish (which loves mud), see image below, eat most of the other species of fish that followed them to the pond.

This doesn't mean there aren't other kinds of fish, but only the strong ones from those species survive the torturous 2-10 years battle.

Do the community people feed them?

No, nobody feeds them, except you want to go watch fish, then go with your bread. They feed on frogs, their SIMP siblings and other weak species that couldn't stand the heat, especially those transgender and gay fish in the pond that act so fragile and girly. It's like a prison. If you don't man up, you go down as feed for the alphas.

For the private or inherited ponds, you can bail it yourself with your pumping machine or bucket every dry season. No rules—it's yours.

Talking about the man that took our bucket and boxers, after I arriveed at night, 9PM, my family was already looking for me.

I sneaked into the bathroom and luckily there was a towel, but my mom still caught me at last and started querying me of my whereabout and asking of her iron pocket.

In the end, I confessed and told her who come convinced and how the man seized our buckets and clothes.

Long story short, After two days, she successfully got them back from the man (older than my parents) with lots of apologies while on her knees.

She later told me when I'm going to school, I should top in the man's house to tell him sorry for what happened.

That man was among the top 10 most wicked men in the community—he has never smiled ever since I knew him and he never looks for trouble either, but if you enter his trap, you're on your own. I didn't know it was his pond, else I wouldn't dare no matter how my guy would've persuaded me.

I was even thinking he'll use juju to kill us, but praise God, I'm alive today. grin Passing his house every day to school was one of the most difficult thing I did in my life. It's the main road I take everyday, so I had to change to a longer road. Criminals don't have peace of mind. cheesy

He had some beautiful children and they were my junior in school. I always pray for their father not to tell them the story before they'll cast it in school and everybody will start making fun of me. cheesy

Moral lesson:

Chai! Stealing is not good. People should desist from taking what isn't theirs—the trauma when you get caught is too much. I have learned a lot as a kid and that's why other people's things don't move me, except the thing is a woman I like but I don't know who her unserious boyfriend is. Anything apart from that, I can't steal it.

Oh, don't forget, this native dish is WAY sweeter and more expensive then the agric one trains in ponds and fed with feeds.

The end...

Oh,

One last thing, even though oil and gas leave our community every single minute, we still refill our gas cylinder at the highest price in the whole of Nigeria and the fish are also more expensive to buy here, than when taken to other states. So, it's better to go to the bush to get fish yourself than to buy from anyone here.

I known no whether them curse us for this Niger Delta. Na we dey produce, Na we still dey suffer am pass. Most of the tombo and alcohol in Nigeria are produced in the Niger Delta. Na only this one cheap for here so that we go drink and forget that we're being marginalized. This is why the region that marginalized us love calling us alcoholic.

They even called our former governor, Wiké King of Kaikai. cheesy

But true true, Wiké dey drink o. Him suppose come from Bayelsa. We Rivers people don't drink much.
