Warm greetings to you my elegant women trust you are doing great Its my great privilege to share with you my dairy.

It was a beautiful morning as I wake up ☀️ I and my crony decided to visit my parents so we planned how the trip going to look like so he told me he will like to spend a night at home before we come back so I arrange our luggage and we left very early to the my home town to see my parents, My brother @ubongudofot came with us too, We did a little shopping before leaving.

On arriving my town, my mun has already prepared a delicious meal awaiting her daughter and her in-law, she cooked cocoyam soup and poundo locally known as (usung ikpong), It's been awhile I ate this meal I missed it so much and it was really delicious. We visited some of my uncles and aunty came back home and rest.

THE NEXT DAY

The following day, I woke up early and prepare breakfast, we ate rice and stew after eating we went out to explore my town i took my crony out to show him round my town. First we went to Amalgamation house.

Finished dressing up and ready to go out for the touring

Amalgamation House, close to Ikot Abasi Secreteriate located in Ikot Abasi, Akwa Ibom State Nigeria is an important place in the history of black men who live in Europe and America. It is a historical place where the then Governor of the Northern Protectorate and the colony and protectorate of Southern Nigeria, Sir Lord Fredrick Lugard made a signature of agreement of merging of the two entities into one and that was where the name Nigeria came into existence, so we visited the administrative headquarters of Lord Lugard were this took place. Read about the history here

We also made a walk to the Bridge of no return. This bridge was where Nigerians were transferred from Nigeria to the Vast plantation in Europe and America. In my next post, I will write a history of how it was. In those years, anyone who step on this bridge never returned that's the reason it is called "the bridge of no return"

At the bridge of no return, behind me you can see the three compartment where slaves were kept

We also made a visit to the Uta Ewa waterside still in Ikot Abasi where people do fishing, the environment is actually crowdy, highly populated.

Coming back home, my mum prepared pounded yam with soup (afia efere)

I took my bag and off we went back, I really enjoyed my stay in my town and so my crony he enjoyed too.
