This unique tiv hut are the inspiration for Bush Bars in Nigeria, Because of the hot weather, men come here to drink and eat mostly from noon till night.





About twenty years ago i walked this path from my Grandmother's house to my uncle's place. this time i decided to take a walk along the dusty uneven road to see what is like, i wasnt surprised to see that it was exactly the same.

Cousins and Uncle in Ash colored shirt















It was 29th December, i got really stressed out and decided to take time out for myself.


I really needed a break from Mothering and Wifing and i knew work will be resuming soon so this was my chance to get away.


For the first time in almost nine years i travelled without my family by interstate public transport, reaching my mothers home town Gboko in Benue state. It was an uncomfortable five hour drive, with at least two accidents on the way.

I got the chance to reconnect with my Uncles, Aunties, and Cousins......
