Stories from Sahara Desert

-

When you hear Sahara  desert you think many things some may be true and some just a mere assumptions. One thing I have learnt  is that assumptions are deadly, So allow me to help you get rid of some of your doubts, answer  a few of your questions  so that you will not have to assume any more. 

 I will be doing a series titled stories from Sahara Desert it will be worth reading. 

     I  look  forward  to an adventure  as I share some  interesting  stories about  Borno state  and more on Maiduguri  but of course  with with the help to those who have walked the soil of Borno, breathe it's air and from many who see it as home. I may also be going  back and forth Memory  lane so trust me when I say it will be fun. 

Did you know Borno State is the second-largest Nigerian state by area? Well it is the second  largest in Nigeria by area and it is located in North east Nigeria,it's capital  is Maiduguri. 

     To follow this series, keep checking  this  blog every weekend  for something  new.

Today I'll like to talk about  my recent adventure.I have heard a few stories  of how magnificent this place  was, I was curious .I wanted to see for myself  too.so when the opportunity  presented itself through  my  friend  Isha and Alwan I grabbed  it like a hungry lion would grab his prey. I was not alone on this mission,we went with our fun team and trust me it was worth the journey. Half way into the journey  Alwan said “ hope you guys know that where we are headed to is a headquarters for terrorist?”I turned to see the reaction  of the rest of the  team, it was a mixed reaction in my opinion on the one hand it was fear of uncertainty  on the other hand it was excitement  of  the possibility of an adventure of a life time(our team can be that unrelenting) but then  Alwan quickly  added well that was in the past.So it’s safe. The welcoming Welcome        ...
