Memories!

Hi Uzo,
You brought back great memories!.

Uzo, my name is Nnaemeka Chira and I am from Awkuzu in Anambra State. I was a student of Government College Afikpo (later Afikpo High School) from 1973 to 1978. Ever since I left Afikpo up to this date, the memories of the Afikpo culture has not escaped my memory. I remember the wrestling matches (as you mentioned in your website); I remember the male initiation ceremonies; I remember Nkwa Umuagbo - I particularly remember Orie Mbe (their lead dancer in those days). I remember my friends at Ukpa na Amachara; I remember Ngodo; I remember swimming the cross-river; I remember so much about that town. I am not from Afikpo, but I love that town; I want to go back their. My schedules would not allow me to get to Afikpo during my last visits but I will make it a point of duty next time.

I will like to connect with you; I really have a lot of questions that you may have answers to. I hope to talk to you Uzo!.
