Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 73
I wasn’t even sure my Dad had seen Dollar since he
was born. Okay, he had seen it once, when he
went for United Nation peace keeping in Liberia.
He not only saw it, he owned it.
I know as you read this, you would say; “Flow is
from a poor home!”. Well, you are not far from
the truth.
We were so poor that we had two TVs; one for
picture, one for sound. And when the TV that
produced picture spoilt, we had to make do with
the TV that produced sound.
We were so poor that when my rich friends asked
me what my favorite food was, my answer was
Beans and Bread(B and B).
We were so poor that i thought munching soaked
Garri was the same as taking Corn Flakes.
We were so poor that Lunch was Dinner.
We were so poor that i grew pot belly at age
seven.
But now Levels don change sha. Baba God noni.
“guys na to enter Ama Hausa go change this Dollar
to Naira oh” Tupac suggested, “make una go wear
cloth make all of us go na” said Bigie.
Ama Hausa! Oh Ama Hausa!! Ama Hausa literally
means Home for Hausas or Northerners.
In Ama Hausa, you could change Dollar to Naira.
Infact, you could change to any currency in the
world. Bureau de Change was it.
If that was all, the place wouldn’t had been
dreaded. In Ama Hausa, you could buy and sell
anything in the world, even human head.
You could buy things ranging from Suya, to
Wrapper, to Phone, to laptop, to Igboh, to human
tongue, to human s’crotum, just name it. Infact
sometimes i wondered if their delicious Suya was
human parts.
