Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. Another weekend is here and I really wish to enjoy it very well. Do you care to join me? The last topic for the week is here with. But guess what? For me is hilarious. Do you know why? I never wanted anyone to know my nickname. It was my little secret. But what now? Is going to be out.
My Nick name is very expensive oh! Who cares to know? because you will have to pay for it. Hahahaha 🤣. People like myself have plenty nick names. I don't even know which one to use here. When I was a little girl, I love making troubles, so that gave rise to why I have so many nick names. I got different names from each street in my area. Though some of the names followed me up till now, but some eventually died off with time. The names are mostly known by those who knows me from my childhood days. You know that I am a very good person now, so those who don't know me then will not understand. Hahaha 😂. Abi? Am I not a good person? I know what your answer will be.
Okay, that is just by the way, let's move on to the business of the day. Yes I had nick names. And what was it? Maybe I should tell you how I got the names first. But I think I want to use only one of the names. This was also a story I was told when I already grown up.
My mother was sick when I was between five and six years. I came into the room and saw mum crying, from what I heard, I thought that she was asking me to call her father for her, because she was crying and calling her father. When I turned to go out and call someone for her, she changed and started calling her mother while still crying. ( Nne m o, nna m o) I don't really know if I am relating it very well. Just like when a child is crying and calling her mother or father. So, when I noticed that she was not serious about who she wants me to call, I just said " are you calling mother or father? Please give me food to eat because I am hungry". It was actually said in Igbo - asisi kpo nne, asi no nna, biko Nye m nri ka m rie. People around started laughing at me, and as a child I don't even know why they were all laughing. I just insisted that I am hungry and I need food. This was the genesis of this name and up till today, any day I visit home, people will start calling me - asi ka akpo nne, asi no nna. Meaning - I don't know wether to call mother or father. It was my mother that scattered the news of what I told her when she was sick after recovering from that sickness. And even when my mother is gone, the name is still very much alive.
