Introduction of me
I am well known throughout the 9 villages. My fame rested on solid personal achivements. As a young man of eighteen I brought honor to my village by throwing Amalinze the Cat. Amalinze was a great wrestler who for 7 years was unbeaten, from Umofia to Mbaino. He was called the cat because his back never touched the ground. It was this fight that the oldest man thought that it was the fiercest ones he has ever seen. As I prepared to fight, I can hear the drum beats and flutes sang as the spectators held their breath. Amalinze is a wildy craftsman but I am as slippery as a fish so i can evade his attacks very well. That was 20 years ago and during this time my fame has grown like a bushfire in harmattan. It was said that when i walked im like bouncing on my heels like im getting ready to pounce on someone. Unoka is my father's name which died 10 years ago, he is lazy and useless. He owned a farm which hardly grows crops because of his laziness, he drinks plam wine everyday and if he has no money to buy he will borrow from his friends some of the debts were never repaid. Such character angered me as it shows no meaning of masculinity, I hate my father for all the things he has done which caused me to inherit no barn from him.
