AIDS March '06!




















It was December 1, World AIDS Day, and boy, what a jamboree it was here in the Canaan City! That’s another name for my town, Calabar, and it was definitely outpouring with the proverbial milk and honey of human kindness for all comers. Live street bands laced the atmosphere with soul-stopping, jazzy music, and the Governor joined in the fun walk to the Millennium Park, wife in tow, to mark the pertinence of the day and declare the Christmas Season open. The crowd of participants was mammoth and mesmerising in its assortment of coloured T-shirts, with slogans like, “Stay Protected – Abstain!” and “ Stamp Out HIV/AIDS” screaming off 'em. The jubilant swarm also carried banners along to indicate what organisations they delegated – and of course, condoms and congeniality were in free flow...
