The title of this piece is excerpted from a classic song done by the inimitable and irrepressible legend, Pa Ebenezer Obey, in the early 70s when there was a cholera epidemic in the country that killed a lot of people. The song majorly a prayer goes thus "... mona owo mi soke cholera mama mu mi...igbe gbururuu, eebi jaburata..."
If you do not remember the song you must still have the mark around your upper arm left by the big machine that administered the cholera vaccination that we all took then. It was very painful and left a sore that took days to tend with some festering. It was called "nomba" then. Those who knew the size of the first set of computers we had then and the micro computers, palmtops and phones we have now will relate with the experience and appreciate the gaps that technology had bridged in our lives.
