‘I made out time to go and trace utibes house at ibeno today, I met with the mum who said she was abandoned by the husband with 4 children, utibe happens to be the second son, the mother is paralyze, though I met his absent, I was told he usually goes out to scout for small snail which he sales locally and bring money for feeding,when ever it rains… 

I had to wait for an hour for his return, he was told to go and change into this blue Jersey which happens to be his best cloth so I could take pictures of him. The mum so wish he was in skool, but said she couldn’t afford his education cuz of her handicap status, I promise to come back and see them on Thursdays as earlier planned, and advice ut should get prepared cuz he will be going back to skool….

‘When next I visit. Attached here are pictures of me, utibes sick mother, utibes cousin sister, the head teacher of the school we first met, and the bold utibe… Video coming of my encounter with the mum coming though.’
