I travelled home to drop my mum who was in Lagos with me for close to 3 months. She had recovered fully. I appreciate all of your prayers when I posted about her sickness sometime ago.
I would have loved to keep her till December but the woman was already crying for her farm. She said that some lazy thieves will enter her farm and uproot her cassava, pluck her oranges, cut her plantain and banana, steal her chickens and the rest. They knew she was away and would re-arrange her farm in her absence.
So we travelled.
The first thing that greeted me as soon as we entered my village was darkness. What happened? I saw light in other villages. They said some 'boys' had stolen some vital parts of the village power transformer.
OK
The following morning, I took a bucket to go fetch water, a borehole was located in front of our compound. No water, boys had dug out the pumping machine from the ground and taken it away.
What???
I had gone searching for water when I met two of the jobless things, they hailed me and begged me for money to buy drinks. The kind of anger that was boiling in me, if I had replied them, hmmm. I just kept quiet and ignored them.
The bank in the next village had been shut down as a result of frequent robbery attacks where they killed a few people. The solar panel and inverter at the village health center had been stolen. The list was endless.
The one that 'offed' me was when I went out at night in search of where I would charge my gadgets, an uncle quickly warned me to go back home because if these boys see any phone light in the dark, they will snatch it, even if it was a Nokia 3310. Hian!
Dear bvs, my village was not like this when I visited a while back, what happened?
They said some of the boys were graduates, they finished from the various higher institutions around my village and could not get jobs. How? Upon the vast lands and forests surrounding us, they cannot go into farming? Why oppress the poor villagers?
Lazy Nigerian Youths
Is your Village better or worse than mine?hahahhahahaha
Mama Tee
Ur village sound like mine. I am from bayelsa. A set of over lazy and always drunk youths. As for the ladies I hear those in sec school will be shouting for the teachers to hurry up cos their breasts are leaking and they have to go feed their children. For some those are 2nd and 3rd children. May God save us

ReplyDeleteHmmm, this is Nigeria
ReplyDeleteThis is alarming.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this story because in my village, we dont have light too because all these youths keep stealing the transformers, poles and wires whenever a new one is brought. They will just disappear as if nothing was there.
ReplyDeleteMy village isn't like this, ours is as calm and peaceful as, security is tight, I guess we should be grateful for those that put things in place. Sorry abt that poster, I am wondering how your mum will cope there, God help us.
