Trip to Kore, Jigawa State, Nigeria

Have you ever lost a picture or video you took for a purpose? I have, not a lot of times, but for this particular trip, i did, and it hurts. I lost all video footage, nevertheless, i have put together pictures as a slide show with a little hello video from Kore at the end. That being said, let me brief you about this trip.

My BFF served his NYSC in Kano State and i had been postponing my visits for the whole year. He was passing out, and i just had to make the trip otherwise i may never set foot in that town again which i pray to, lovely city, you can find great documentary photographs from his one year stay here. While in Kano, my mom called and said, why not trace your paternal grandma’s village, it is in Kore, which i later discovered used to be part of old Kano until another state was carved out (Jigawa that is). Anyway, i don’t want to bore you and myself with writing since this is a Vlog.

Hope you enjoy the picture slide show I could put together. Music was sang on stage by Emmy Jackson (Sadly network couldn’t let me receive the audio track from him on time and this post had to go), title – Njideka (which is an Igbo name for girls meaning ‘I have the best.’)
