Nigeria..

It is 11:15 pm now, sitting in my room, and listening to the radio, made me look back to almost 19 years ago (wow I am getting old), I was still very young and very anxious, I remembered when I use to with my family of course live in Nigeria (Kano), it was awesome living there, I had the best child hood just because I use to live there, I was only 2 years old when my parents moved us to Nigeria. It was in Nigeria that I learned how to bike and how to swim, and there I learned to love to walk in the woods. I remember our home was in the middle of a huge garden that is filled with flowers and trees, we use to have mango trees and banana trees and so many other trees that I have no idea what are they, all I know is that it was something that is so beautiful and so green, at the back of this huge garden we had a huge swimming pool, ooo how much I miss it. Every morning my twin sister and I use to go for a walk and then after that we use to go for a long swim how fun it use to be. It is in Nigeria that I have learned that people could be different but deep inside we are all the same, and that we all believe in one god, yea we all have different believes but the end result is the same, if only we can realize it, then I think there will be no wars and every one would live peacefully and happily. Anyways, Nigeria is one of the places that I would love to visit again some day, I know it is not safe now, but I hope that soon it will be so that I can go back to my old home and check out my child hood school and if I am lucky go see our old house, I always wonder who could be living in our house, I will never forget the days when I use to live in Nigeria with my family, it will always have a special place in my heart, to me Nigeria is one of the best places that any one could live in.
