A VISIT TO KUKURUKU HILLS : 📌 IGARRA EDO NIGERIA

A VISIT TO KUKURUKU HILLS : 📌 IGARRA EDO NIGERIA The famous Kukuruku Hills have existed for thousands of years long before the first settlers found a home beneath its rocky boulders. Legend has it that Igarra people of yore found solace in the caves scattered here and there in the hills anytime raiders invaded. The story still goes that the natives made a beeline to the safety of the hills after a town crier forewarned his compatriots of the attackers from out of town. And guess how did the town crier warn the people of Igarra? By blowing on his horn and making the sound kukuruku like a cock crowing. Thus did Kukuruku Hills serve as a sanctuary for generations of dwellers below. These days there are no communal clashes between Igarra and neighbouring or far-flung communities. Still, others have a found a use for the hills – the creative community. In 2001, Funso Ayejina published his Commonwealth prize-winning collection of short stories, Legend of the Rocky Hills and Other Stories, with the hills as setting in some of them. Twenty-two years after, another writer has appropriated the legend of the hills to write a book around it. Ms. Edith Onize Aiyede is a realtor by profession. But she always wanted to write. “I have always wanted to write, to publish,” the author said on Saturday April 9 at Freedom Park Broad Street, Lagos, where her book was publicly presented. “I have always wanted to write what people can read and relate to. Even though I am a realtor, there has always been that innate desire to do this, like ok, you have a number of things and the world needs to see it. So, why not let people see it. Why not do it? When you write as a creative, you don’t know how people are going to receive it. You just have to do the best that you can and hope that, somehow, the effort you put into it yields something that people can connect with it.” More than the two dozen guests at the presentation seemed to connect with author and book at the presentation as she read passages from it. Pascal Otts of the French Cultural Centre had an open copy. So with Michel Deelen, consulate-general of Netherlands in Lagos. @dabreezy_comedy @gflex_official #KukurukuHills #igarra #igarratv #edo #benin #edostate #akokoedo #igarra #igarrastories #igarratv #etuno #etunobreed #edo #edostate #abafestival #abafestival2023 #benincity #nigeria #abuja #lagos #igarramarket #portharcourt #warri #benin #nigerian #ekpoma #uniben #asaba #naija #nollywood #aau #dagbala
