Last year, during my summer vacation. I visited Akwaibom for the first time. I stayed with my mom's uncle, an elderly man of 60 years old, his wife and his children.
He has four children, the first (a boy) is doing his masters in the United Kingdom, the second(a girl) is married to a University Lecturer and their marraige is blessed with a boy of 6 months plus, the third(a girl) is still in the university studing mass communications and the last but not the least(a boy) just recently graduated and is awaiting NYSC.
So basically, I was at home with the last born and we had lots of fun together and I enjoyed my stay.

In Uyo, I learnt a lot of things like planting and harvesting cassava, How to process garri e.t.c
This is the machine we use to grate the already washed cassava
This is the dewatering machine that is used to remove water from the cassava and prepare it for frying.
These are some of the things, I learnt in my stay in Uyo
