Seeing my kinsmen and women enjoying Amala Day with Adire attire to match today (Sunday, 27th July) at Owerri brings back awesome memories of my stay at Prefab Estate.
Owerri, Imo state is where I had my foundation of learning the Igbo language and culture. I was there for two full years.
Aladimma was not far from us. That was where FUTO was before they moved to Obinze. General Hospital was there and I hope it is still there. We went to Ikenegbu for church services.
WAEC buiding shared a fence with us and was almost completed when I left Owerri.
Radio programs from Imo Broadcasting Corporation helped me a lot in understanding the language.
If you haven't travelled, you mightn't understand some of these nostalgic feelings!
