I think it will be fair, for me to begin my story with a deep smile because alot of funny experiences I had flashes on my mind as I thought of this story. Some years back, precisely 2009. I had to travel to one village named "Bimpo" in Boki local government area of Cross River State, Nigeria. The experienced I had is something that buzz me whenever it crosses my mind. The village is situated in a forest, surrounded with some rocks. Accessing the village was a very difficult task. The only route was just graded and it was very sloppy, and very Dusty & some portion of the route slippery. I had to pick a motor bike, I & the bike man fell countless of times before we could get to village proper. The white shirt I put on turn brown, my black hair turn blown, my eyelashes turn brown too... Lolz. I had to spend my night under one of the rock in the village because it was already late before I could get there. Lolz
