For this reason, I am planning on running a series of contests about the places where you live. I am not interested in your house address, It may not be safe to put It up here, but if you are comfortable with that, you are free and you might see me in your house someday...

So, let's begin with the entry shall we?
THE NAME OF THE CITY, TOWN, VILLAGE OR DISTRICT...
I currently live and school in a place called Abiriba. The town I live in Abiriba is called Ama-ogudu Abiriba.
Abiriba is a good place with good people a beautiful culture. The people of Abiriba are very kind to visitors and treat visitors like a part of them, and they are very kind people to live amidst. Abiriba is located in Abia state Nigeria, and is one of the self-develoved community in the country. The Community is not dependent on the government for anything like - constructing new roads, employment e.t.c but the community and it's people has strive on its own to ensure that they reach a very good height of development.
Abiriba is well know for it's nickname "small London" because the people of Abiriba has worked earnestly to bring about a huge load of development including good education, utility, infrastructure as well as job opportunities in the community. Though there is little or no support from the government t the community, Abiriba has proved to be independently able to build itself.

I don't really know much about this, but all I know is that the community is ruled by a king called "Enachoken." I have not seen this person throughout my two years of staying in Abiriba but rumors has it that The king remains indoors and comes out only on festive seasons or when he has something very very important to take care of.
Abiriba as said above is self developed and they have interesting cultures that are very complex to understand.
I know of only one hotel or should I call it motel in Abiriba. It's name is "onye-mmemme" (pronounced with an Igbo accent) meaning one who loves party. This place is around 5 thousand Naira for a night which is roughly 33.335 steems if the price of steem is at 150 Naira per steem. This is as of last year September though and I don't really know the current price.
Abiriba is a very good place but the only thing is - mind your business and don't interfere with other people. They are welcoming and kind, treating visitors live their own.
