We could play bunch buggy here in Jos, like the good ol days when we were growing up. It was one of my favorite games, and it puts a smile on my face seeing all the beetle bugs still around.
House compounds here are either lined with twisted barbwire, or scrap metal, or broken glass. Is the threat of someone coming in so great? Is this the result because of the growing gap between rich and poor? I think my friends here found it intersting when I explained that we don't have these sort of walls in Canada for security.
Corn grows in every available space of land open - in front of houses, along roadsides, etc. It is the wet season after all and the time for growth. I tasted the corn, tough and paste-y(starch), nothing like our good ol Chilliwack sweet corn. (There is so much garbage everywhere, that even the soil the vegetables grow in are mixed with garbage as if it were fertilizer.)
