Ilorin
A city as big as this
Needing no masquerade
Words are quivers
A sentence uttered has 18 meanings.
I bow in awe

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Toyin Falola's Quest for the Big Snake and the Journey to Illorin
Reading this section in his autobiographical A Mouth Sweeter than Salt.
Magnificent.
We see his first encounter with a train, the Big Snake, his travelling on the Snake to Ilorin, where he becomes apprenticed to a beggar, while he is declared missing at home.
Wonderful reading
