Ralia the sugar girl ….. inside life

dominique:


This sequel to The Boy Slave, I looked for this book like my life depended on it back then. Memories...

Hope you eventually found it. It's a very good read.

espn:
OP do you remember KOLE THE SUPERSTAR

Love this also, Kole, The Superstar. A name he got on his first day of resumption because it was written on his shirt. I can also remember the closing part of the book after winning several academic and sporting prizes which says truly he was a superstar and he remembered that shirt he wore on the first day.
I hope I can one day get all these books so it can make a small memorial library for me.

Ralia the sugar girl. Chapter 2. Ajawa in Apapa village

[quote author=dominique post=110125613]

She was not wicked even though at that was the initial impression the story gave at first. she lost her husband and children and the village labelled her a witch. She had to flee from the village to start living in the bush where she found a lost Ralia and took her to her hut in the bush. Along the line, the prince's horse knocked down Ralia and he took her to the palace for treatment. The old woman wasn't aware of this and started looking for her. Word had gotten out that Ralia was living with the old woman in the bush and the youths rushed to her hut to fetch her from there, unfortunately the old woman could not produce Raliya and they automatically assumed that she had killed her like she killed her husband and children, they arrested her immediately and dragged her back to the village. Ralia got better, found out that her friend has is being detained because of her and she came forward to defend her and convince the villagers that she's not a witch.

Kudos, you really tried o by remember the story line, the last time i read the book was like over a decade ago and I can't remember anything aside the title.

Sugar Girl by Kola Onadipe.
Some of his other books I read then include:
Adventures of Souza
The Boy Slave
Return of Shettima

Those were the days.

These books made our childhood.

This Raliya-the Sugar girl for example, was my one time favorite.

Now that İ think of it, i didn't really need TV, reading books as a kid made you create the images and play the script in your head over and over, and in ways that prompted you to ask questions. İt kind of stimulated the thinking faculty.
On the other hand, TV is like watching someone's well scripted story, as a kid you can't really add your imagination to a TV show, you just watch and enjoy.

So now İ ask....What's better for kids....TV or Books?
Or a bit of both?

CharlotteFlair:
Ok who remembers the name of the old woman?

Ayawa

Sewasaunt:
Ralia, the sugar girl.

The writing was so superb, I can still literally smell the foul stench of the Old woman's cooking and I can picture her long dirty nails in my head too.
