This is a nice and surreal experience...you just might find the mother and son.

Wow..huge progress with our book guys.
One of the guys mentioned in the book just called me this morning from Norway,but now settled in Nigeria. We were all on a conference call with one other from Germany.
He was present at the delivery in the desert, and was the one who buried the placenta.

We all been catching up on old times, and how the journey made or marred us,as the case may be. But in all we are thankful to God, for still being alive and healthy.

Thanks God the book is helping us all reconnect and reminisce on the ordeals.

cool bro..will work on that...already dropped on the thread you advised.

The book is here and gone international, but still trying to fix a couple of issues on receiving payment for the international version though.

If you are unable to make payment with your card, simply get in touch with me on whatsapp from my profile, so i can do the payment for you.

Thanks

Book is topped up, with images to boot..

okpurukata:
Hello Gaby, Tried to make purchase from the portal with my ATM card but it did nor work out. It says the bank was unable to authorise because the transaction failed to meet the risk standards. That means the payment site is not secure.

Please look for another payment method and advise.

Hey sis, thanks for the patronage. contact me on whatsapp through my profile,so i can help you make payment using my card.

Hello my special 3F's

Much thanks guys for all your supports, patronage and encouragement thus far.

For my patrons who'd thought it wise to encourage me by buying the book, i truly appreciate you guys.Please note that i've done some more additions with images to the book so you can go back to enjoy your read.

And for those who are yet to buy the book, please do so. You'd read how Nkem Owoh got into the picture with his popular " I go chop your dollar" single.

As i've always maintained, i and this book are both a continuous work in progress, so i'd please urge you guys to bear with me on the typos or grammatical errors.

I'd tried hiring proof readers and professional writers, the ones i'd interviewed so far couldn't give me a concrete guarantee on the safety of my story by way of an NDA-non disclosure agreements, and most didn't even know what it meant.

I've put in a lot of hard work into this and i'm not going to drop it on someone's lap, while i lose out completely or get short-changed.

We'll get it right guys, just read and enjoy the stories..

Writingdiva:
Interested.

whatsap contact is on my profile. I'd need proofs of jobs or people you've worked with in the past and a guarantee in the form of a non disclosure agreememt.

Are there no competent proof readers here?

HIGHESTPOPORI:
How do we get it?

Available here:

Yeah..it's finally out and wholly fleshed out with no holds barred..

Grab a copy now..to read more on the story.

ucheuzor1:
I tried opening the link, but its saying page not found.

And for the errors detected by coldplay so far, pls do justice to them Asap. If possible give some of your friends to proofread and do necessary grammatical and syntax corrections.

Sure bro... done some justice and added more to the story...still a work in progress though..

A very good proof reader with references on completed jobs should get in contact with me..Urgent.

Freebiez:
Please support this author, wonderful guy, wonderful story.

Cover designed by me.

Thanks freebiez..

Coldplay007:
On the first night we covered a couple of km’s in between some guys and ladies already dropping by the way side not able to keep up pace and exhausted,nobody even cares it’s either you ship in or ship out.

Very poor grammatical construction..

So much thanks ma..appreciated..Please do not relent in pointing me towards other errors as i'm continually a work in progress..

MonsieurCoder:

This is going to make for a long read though but here we go..

The story about a day i'll never forget..

The year was 1999 and i was just 21,had dropped out of college and decided to migrate for economic reason from my home state in Nigeria.

With no pre-requisites nor sufficient finance to go legal by obtaining a visa and flying,i opted to travel by land through the desert onwards Spain via Moroco. There was however a snag as all i had was a map and a sketch of how and where to change vehicles at specific towns in each country i’ll be passing through. Fortunately on the night i was to board the check out bus from my small town of Benin City enroute Katsina State bordering Nigeria and Niger Republic,half the passengers on the bus turned out to be making the same journey so we all naturally gelled and formed a group.

We got to the border town the next morning and got smuggled into a vehicle that took us further into Niger Republic specifically to a town called Agadez.We did a couple of more days there until we got the next connection to smuggle us through the Sahara desert into a town (Tamaransett) in Algeria. Pertinent to note here that the ultimate target of our journey was to hit Morroco from where we can either Climb accross the razor fences seperating Morocco from either of Spain’s enclave of Ceuta and Mellila both on mainland Morocco.This is actually like crossing from Mexico into the US.

A lot happened on the travel through the Sahara as we did the journey in three days.From co travellers collapsing and been abandoned in the desert to having to survive on our urines. Travelling through the desert we did come upon a couple of human skeletal remains of a couple of unfortunate travellers.

Not to bore you folks with my epistle so i’ll leave out much of what i went through on the journey and continue from when we got into Moroccan territory or the border between Morocco and Algeria in a town called Magniya.Everybody journeying through that route actually get together at this jungle-a valley actually where we set up camps and wait to make up a certain acceptable number for the smugglers to take us on the journey by foot through the woods,deserts and jungles of Morroco to evade the authorities.On a good day with a good guide who knows the route well that’ll be a 2 weeks or thereabouts journey on foot.

So on this day my group and i got prepped to embark on this journey.We had gotten our standard supplies of barguettes,sardines and milk to survive on just enough not too heavy to burden us on the long walk.

We journey only at nights for cover.On the first night we covered a couple of km’s in between some guys and ladies already dropping by the way side not able to keep up pace and exhausted,nobody even cares it’s either you ship in or ship out. So we continued until i eventually took a short rest and afterwards got sperated from the group and i knew not what way to continue on.

Out of frustration,hunger and desperation i decided to come out of the woods in broad day not a single scare of the police as i would have gladly ran to them at this point if for nothing at all just for something to eat and a place to sleep.I started begging for food from some locals who were so kind God bless them.These locals will actually get into trouble with the authorities if it becomes public knowledge that they are habouring or didnt report seeing an alien.But these guys will take me in,make me ‘shai’ morrocan tea and bread then hide me until night time then show me how to go and avoid the cops.

So i continued until i got to Nador.This town actually borders Mellila one of the spanish Territories on Morrocan soil.Meanwhile as a group,our original destination was Rabat where we have a decent population of fellow immigrants on the same journey,where we could gather and map out the next strategy on how to cross into spain either by ferry on. a dingy across the atlantic/mediterranean or scaling the razor fences.

When i arrived Nador i was lost for how to proceed being alone.Mind you it was 2 weeks plus already since i got seperated from my group.I hadn’t showered all these while so you can imagine what i was like. While thinking about my life and how to proceed a bike drove up to me and asked i hopped on,i was hesitant but he insisted and i obliged.He drove me for about 5 kilometres and stopped then asked me to keep left and climb a super mountain across that if i did that and kept to my left i’ll get close to the razor fence.

I thanked him and started on the journey of climbing the huge mountain.From my reckoning i started ascending at about past 8pm when the.man dropped me and when i got to the peak of the mountain where i could see all around Nador and also look into the spanish territory it must have taken me about 3 hours but i became so fired up that at least i’m close to spain.

While i was still basking in the euphoria of my new found luck and planing on where to attack from,the heavens gave way and it started raining cats and dogs with no where to take shelter.

I decided to just keep walking with no particular direction until i happened on a cemetry.When i got to the cemetry at about 12–1 am i couldn’t hold it any longer.I just broke down and started crying my hearts out thinking about my family and friends and how no one knows where i am at what i was passing through. Afterall and the rain had subsided i hadn’t the will to continue that night i just laid on the closest grave to me and prayed for the person resting there.

Pretty tough journey i must confess but had to leave out most parts for easy reading.

Thats it folks a lil story about my life.

Thanks for your time and for reading.
