Episode 4   " working the streets."


Some people don't know what the term "Work The Streets" means, some think it means doing a couple charity work, cleaning up your street, you know, doing some community service. How ever, Around these zones like mine in Africa, working the streets means doing what niqqas do. men work the streets in there own fashion, Locally. The real question is. What really do niqqas do?.
The streets has piled up quit a list of work. as a huge employer of labor in that sense, Ganja farming, work seeking charity donations (WSCD), web understanding, credit card processing all in the list. as these may sound like legal jobs, they are not.
OT'Wire, an up coming artist known for rapping in his indigenous language did a song every one was dancing to with its own moves. He said "young niqqas Get yourself a laptop and your problems are solved automatically." He was arrested by the law enforcement agencies with the charge for being a fraudstar and inciting fraudulent acts among youths. His arrest skyrocketed him to a totally different page because he became the talk of the day. He was interrogated live on TV and when he was asked what he meant in his song, simply he said. "with a laptop, one could learn skills like web programming and design, data analysis and lookup online job opportunities." Fact was, everybody understood what he meant in his song. It basically meant "working the streets" but the authorities couldn't justify their allegations against him. So he, OT'wire was released without conditions. And on the day he was released, his fans mounted loud speakers around the station, playing the same damn song.

(#Black and Black Is a series you will find interesting. A young man trying to understand the things around him. However  some things cannot be understood.)  1 - Kenne Can you creat scenarios?  Let me make you creat one.  Imagine you are walking in a hall with people in it and everyone turns at every step, staring at you for about 5secs.  even after your walk, people still turn to make glances. You can imagine can't you? Well anyways. Oguguo street, quite large to be a street. Sorry I'm not hiding any secrets in this book, Nigerians read a lot now. Back to business Oguguo villa, There you can make your home, there you can call your home. Quite traditional, but it's  home. I found myself being a local here. I see it as a privilege actually. The palm trees stand in place by the road side, the  modern town hall make it seem like a city in a village, farming took place properly at its time(season), during this  period, you get to see how wide the vill...

The Legendary cereal.

Smoked garri, sometimes call "Oto" has become Nigeria's legendary cereal of all time, (I'll tell you for free) you should have known the satisfaction you derive form smoking garri (drinking garri if you may). sometimes, just sugar and water could be just enough to run the downloading process. Most times, people use beverages as milk and chocolate to increase the flavour. Other times Legend go out of their way to add "vegetables" such as cucumba and onions to it.(yea, thats true) But in entirety garri and grounduts have been the combination for decades. However, there could be somethings you don't know about smoking garri. Consider the fact that drinking alone without any protain supplement is dangerous for humans. Garri contains cyanide which is very dangerous to human health and humans have been warned to take it with a supplement that contains a good source of protein. You never knew did you?. Now you do know you might want to reduce your garri int...

Episode 1 'stay in Africa' I was 15 when i finished secondary school, a rare situation in clans around the world like Nigeria. So legally, i am to wait till I'm 17 to be in a university. Well this is no problem as jamb is willing to help with the job. But I didn't care about Jamb, or collage or anything, i just wanted to leave Nigeria, basically Africa. So i scraped jamb for three years hoping to get a scholarship in a country that is not in African. In my naive small mind, to me i was "my own man"so i took instructions from nobody, But it doesn't work like that here because ass whooping from parents in clans like Niaja is something they do with pride, its "proudly African" with the 'WHOOP RESPONSIBLY' tag on it. that's why you don't get to see punkass brats in africa. So i stayed at home for some years and before i knew what was up, i was 19. I didn't want to be a 22 year old 100 level niqqa in college. So it ran...
