Why Nnobi House?
I was born in London years and years ago. With time, we moved out of London to Essex and my dad missing Nigeria, decided to name our new house in Essex after his village, Nnobi. Hence an outpost of Nnobi appeared in the middle of Essex.
We returned to Nigeria when I was 8 and I never forgot our house, Nnobi House or my time in England. I came back to the UK after University seeking further opportunity and now that I have been in the UK for quite a number of years, it is time for me to return home and give something back to my society.
This journey home is the subject of this blog. My return from Nnobi House in the UK to Nnobi, where they have been looking for me for a long time to pay my dues for the building of the church roof and pay for my wife in her village…
