black and white nsukka

when you dream in your sleep,
the film you see in your head,
is it black, is it white
or is it black and white or coloured?
 you might be surprised my dear that you do not know
the colour in your head, when you sleep.


there is a town i know in my head her name is nsukka and her coordinate is: latitude: 6°51.4698′ n and  longitude: 7°23.7462′ e.

nsukka is not a town of gigantic wonders, nor a town of hip-pop. rather it is a town of magic. a town of sunrise and sunset, of morning chirping birds, and night creaking crickets: a land of green grasses and red earth hiding under green carpeted hills. a town of gentle old folks and young scholars waiting for the first light of 'new' to break away and fly. it is not unnatural for me to find solace in wandering, hoping to find things art enough to tickle my wanting soul. and so, during my four years of stay at the university of nigeria, it became typical of me to hike the length and breath of nsukka, seeking for the unobviuos to document with my camera. below are pictures i documented, i chose to make it black and white because they're too saturated. enjoy, but do not forget to comment and share! voila!!


one: the rods of the iron god_
two: rusted but trusted_

three: the tree of life_


four: the house in the bush_


five: gravity is not a god_


six: anunuebe_
seven: the solo hobo of a king hopper_

eight: the rider and the raleigh_

nine: the tower of babel_

ten: the old shall young transport_

    With little pain for the eyes, I pick the the pics. Satisfying my insatiable crave for creativity is the writeup, less the d pics. Reading through, I saw arrows, not letters forming words. Arrows made red by fire; penetrating impenetrables. If never weary, I see a man in ur form n look shaking hands with rulers of literary kingdom; handshake of induction! Impressed am forced to be. Catch u there...
