I believe that meeting new people is one of traveling’s main advantages. It introduces me to their cuisine, clothing, and manner of life. Beyond the emotional exhilaration, my hosts in these triple-A locations treat me so well, and I sleep like a baby. Simply said, the triple-A exists because all cities begin with the letter A.
I have two siblings in Awka. I get to have exquisite abacha made by my brother’s wife or my sister’s ukwa, another specialty of the region. In addition to visiting four of my nieces and two of my nephews.
I always look forward to going to Awka, especially now that there’s a local airport. It also brings fond memories of my parents who lived in the city for a few years before retiring back to Enugu.& Abuja has a special place in my heart for many reasons chiefly the road network, my brother, and his wife. My brother’s wife must give me a daily massage as long as I agree to take my night shower. My brother also has locations for all things good food in the city. Most importantly, I have another family member who is there too and our popular hangout is Galaxy Pizza.
Agbara, hmm…one of the reasons I love Agbara is the serenity it brings to my soul. Its like you’re cut off from all the hustle and bustling of this world. It also enjoys a sizeable number of expatriate community in addition to being an industrial hub, creating jobs for both locals and expatriates.
On my most recent journey, it rained and the entire route was flooded. In order for the driver to propel the car, I had to take over the steering. We wasted 6 hours to complete a trip that should have taken no more than 2 hours
We had to break the journey when the car couldn’t move anymore and the driver was told to wait for two more hours to get the engine re-started.
We had to take Keke to meet up with my brother. It was such fun. Later that night I was treated fio fio, a decadent delicacy from my state, prepared by Mama CJ, my brother’s beautiful wife.
