Greetings to all hive users, who will reach this post. It has been long I do realize to know and learn about my custom and tradition but how can I get ride of my culture since my parent called themselves foreigner by adopting another way of life to the family but they never knew it has been a disaster to we the children. This has affect my life styles in such a way that I can't even speak my mother's tongue fluently most especially when it come to common greetings though all their best they did bringing us up was very great mostly a respect to our elders and people older than us or even not. Everyone can praise us when it comes to that but as for mother tongue na problem oooo.
To be honest it has been a great deal to us as a challenge that enable us to find solutions to an immediate problem biting us as mosquito pierce.
Several thought of ideas were made to visit a village called jawun in Toto as the local government area of Nassarrawa state but to whom are we to live with? Was another question amongst since our grandpa has kick the bucket over years now but grandma still living and I think she will be very excited to give us even more than extra moral lesson when she was willing to teach us things base on tradition while we we're not ready for that by then although this will be the best vacation as a closure.
Already I was in vacation then and I persuade to set a trip to the rural settlement although it was quiet lonely at first but later after some miles away I enjoy what I see, in fact even the fresh air that blew me was that different before I finally reach to destination.
In reference to all I sight was really amazing:the road was narrow and well tile, no shrubs neither bushes close to the road, different plantation like fruits, vegetables and other legume and cereals crops.
Jawun is a healthy home to live a comfortable life to be precis most of the buildings are not like urban setting but so much better than cities or town as they live peacefully without individual difference, although all houses are build of mold(clay soil) and roof with thatch in different design and styles (a hut) a pit toilet for removing toxic waste product, no single hut but all in form flat seperate toilet a distance. Every compound may have like thirty chickens using free rang method, thinking to spend more time beyond my schedule plans.
Grandma gave me a warmth huge as she speak in mother tongue (sonu ebi api wolo un wuna) meaning you are welcome and how is home..... Response was now a problem despite it was translate to me by a friend, hmmm never you forget that my aim to visit.
Honestly I never believed there are people with visions (education) though they farmers but professional agriculturist and maximum rich. Bed room are decorated with expensive matrass and basically use motor cycles in each house instead of a car.
Grandma is so nice, the villagers are nice, in fact all people living are excellent that depends in a standard of their living.
24hour electricity, standard hospital and school but don't know why they can't change structure of building.
I remain here in the village to learn everything that concern my custom and tradition that's my initial plan and I am comfortable.
Hope you can fluently speak your mother's tongue?
