🤭 ouuu hits different because I actually visit Akwanga for holiday sometimes especially when I’m trying to get some few days to rest from the world I run to Kini. I remember when kini first started and I literally watched it grow. I have also made friends in Akwanga that I really need to visit again 🥹. I remember royal hospital ( my primary school best friend dad’s owned it). So many memories keep coming to mind. One of my Favourite thing about Akwanga was having both Muslims and Christians from the same family or different relate with each other and there wasn’t any form of hatred or mistrust among them I wonder if that is still the case
Just made me realize how we’re so engrossed with modernity that we forget there’s a place we can always go for our breaks. No “loud noise” or big buildings that make everywhere stuffy. water that doesn’t necessarily need chemicals to be made clean for consumption. A space away from social media noise. Where we can take an actual rest. Such a beautiful reminder Win.
Just like Akwanga, it reminds me of Ora and Ifaki in Ekiti. I remember last month, how I needed to be in this places, stay away from my phone and laptop..just to breath and experience life again, the life that does not involves you trying to be in a jungle of applications or having to fight to be seen or prove how professional sound you are. The life the air is fresh, listening to local language, waking up to see people go to farm, looking for extra cloth to cover yourself up from cloth, the Catholic Church with big bells outside, having locals care about you, listening to local radios and music, children enjoying their years, locals getting waters from that streams, or boreholes. Eating from a place that feels like home, reading books and finding you back in a slow pace. I pray to experience it soon. THANK YOU FOR WRITING BACK.

Yes they’re very harmonious people. It is the same oh. Everyone is accepted as they are. It’s truly blissful to experience that.
Oh Win! This is beautiful 🥺

Now, I want to visit home🥺😂😂
Please visit when you can and enjoy fresh fruits and food. It’s needed to touch grass time to time.
Yes those are spaces we rest truly. The city bustle and ways are so stifling that we forget these sides to life exists.
I willll
Omg! What a piece ❤️🍿
