Oh ... I see. Tot you was bush.

Well. .. if you no go show yourself as person wey just return, you go visit jejely but if you show say you just come from Yankee, them go obtain you o 😂😂😂.

It's good to visit your place of birth from time to time though. It will bring back memories . But I bet you the whole place will have changed. Ikorodu has developed a bit more than it used to be in your days

1. I have never been a flashy personality anyways so I don't have an issue there at all.

Is building loads more structures in a place the same as the place being developed? Back in the late 80s, and early 90s, the roads were not so bad, there was still water in the homes from time to time, and electricity was still relatively stable. Everybody knew where the police station was and maybe even the library and most could locate the Oba's palace, the post office, the general hospital, and even the firehouse. Is that still the case these days? Yes, it has really changed but has it been for the better or just that loads more people live there is all?

Korkor, me I can't say cos I haven't been there before but from what Ive heard people say about the place it has developed compared to before. More houses and less bushy areas i guess

What do you mean less bushes? Ikorodu was not a bush. Yes, there was lots of greenery but it made for a better environment compared to most other parts of Lagos. Now there are barely any trees in much of the area, and even many of the streams and rivers around, have been drained and houses built over them, and that makes me wonder about air quality, animal life/ecosystem, and heat among other things.

Getting rid of the bushes and farms is not what development is about. It is instead measured in terms of actual improvements to the quality of life and living of the people in the locale.

That is where I grew up. It's not the people but the place for me. And it isn't that I cherish it but more than many good and bad memories I have even today were formed there.

Dey there. Actually, the person wey tell me this thing dey abuja. So, if Abuja person dey struggle to afford Toilet Roll, imagine wetin person wey dey Lagos or even Ikorodu go wan dey talk.

My own idea is simple. We are not wiser than our ancestors/parents.

Our mother would greet our father and every other relative of our father (her in-laws or even call them her husband) irrespective of their age and gender. The younger in-laws can then knee down and greet her as mama.

Our kids observe what we do and that's how we imbibe culture.

Now, there are occasions when the wife might be very busy with something and you might see her first and greet.

There are very little things a wise woman can use to build her home.

A wise man should also know what is is really important to him/his marriage and correct a women with love.

It's the same food like pounded yam, amala,agidi, egusi, efor, ofe onugbu, tuwo dawa, kilishi, dodo, idika iko, okro/ogbono soup that our ancestors invented that we still eat. We couldn't with all our open eye invent anything new locally.
