The best day in my life in 2025 was on the on the 15th of April when I went for a masquerade festival at abam. It was a nice experience for me and my friends were with me and this was the first time I was being able to participate or be at such a festival because in my own town isi ala ngwa we do not have masquerades and we do not do all this festival stuff.
So it was on a Saturday morning that we all moved from our office to Atani Abam. The foundation I work with the unubiko foundation are the ones that are the main host of the program so that's morning was hectic for all of us who were the workers and we have to print the brochure ,the banners and also standing in as the journalists on duty to get the reports of the event that the and also attend to our guests.
So on getting to the location we were welcomed and we were shown around the house of our founder who is the Ike of Abam we took pictures and after that we proceeded to the field around 1:00 ,where the men event is supposed to start so we took pictures of the decorations and everything was looking awesome set. we had the MTN people on fifth because they are partners and we have coding in breweries on set two because they are brand partner.
And then the event kicks off with the presentation of different groups in the villages they had they are downs they had their drama and it was really exciting to watch all of them display and then came the introduction of the traditional rulers who came with their people they dance in and they were all dressed in their traditional regalia looking all nice beautiful ladies and handsome men the traditional trops that accompanied them.
Then the governor of Abia state His excellency Alex Chioma Otti was also present in the program he came around 3:00 and we were the one to that served him directly, he was a very delightful moment to be able to meet the governor one on one and interview homes with some of the other prominent members from all around umuahia northand umuahia South it was indeed a place so experience and the program ended around 6:00.
So that was when the would I say after party started we went back to the house of the founder of unubiko Foundation the Ike Abam and they were musicians who came to entertain us . A popular traditional musician Ababanna was there life and direct with his crew members it was indeed a time to remember I had the best time of my life there was literally my best day in 2025 I met up with some of my friends who were from Abam.
Funny enough we didn't know that we all came for the same event, work brought me there and it was actually their village, it was actually nice to meet up with them and hang out with my colleagues we talked got to know each other more ,we got know people that we didn't even know we are working with us and it was a nice experience and after that we were hosted in the (Sectary to the State Government)SSG'S house and we were well taken care of.
Then the next morning which is Easter morning we all returned back home today and I return back to my family we were staying at my village and we celebrated Easter together as family and I'm forever grateful for that day because I met people who are of great importance to me from there and that was one of my best days in 2025 and I look towards more better days.
It's my pleasure sharing my experience with you here thank you.
