My hometown
My hometown is another place you can call home
My hometown may not be the most beautiful, popular and most know places, it is know for it abilities to welcome strangers
My people are well known for their strong nature and stubbornness
We are strong people and framers , some are also hunters
Both men and women are very hardworking.
We are blessed with lots of lands for our farming activities
Every family, clan or individuals have either hectares ,acres or plots of lands for their family activities.
The most amazing part of everything is that during planting seasons every member of the family is involved from the smallest to the biggest
I remembered while growing up during planting season we all go to the farm with our family, my parents will carry foodstuffs to the farm, while working in the farm from 12pm my mom will start cooking for us in the farm around 2pm we eat Lunch and continue with our work though I and my younger brother were too young to work but we accompany them and watch from an angle and learn what they are doing
Most times if we went to school we would have been instructed to come to the farm after school
Our mom will keep our food under the mortal so that whenever we come back we eat and join them
Then during harvesting periods our parents and eldest siblings do that because harvesting requires lots of strength and energy
During those planting seasons we eat roasted yam and palm oil which is very delicious .( and let me tell something in your ear 馃憘 food cooked in the farm taste different from foods cooked at home 馃ぃ馃ぃ)
And another thing is that we have good roads , our roads are very nice and good
In my hometown one thing I can say they lack is electricity , health and education facilities
Sometimes they try by giving us light 馃挕 most times we stay months or weeks without electricity and that made some people to start doing business of charging centers they charge your appliances and you pay them at all the end of the day
Health facility, the hospital is nothing to write home about unless it has gotten better since the last time I went home .
The building for schooling are destroyed the walls are falling , celling and some amenities
Chairs is another issues most of them are broken , you will go to some government own schools and what you will see there are bushes , the environment alone is not conducive for learning
And another thing that is needed is sex education the young people should be educated on their sex and their right because their are lots of teenagers that are underage and pregnant
Most of them do not know their right from their wrong and some older people might take advantage of them because of their vulnerability
Let鈥檚 them know that nobody should force them to make decisions that they are not comfortable with ,They should be taught everyone has equal rights.
