Posted by 29 June, 2009 (0) Comment

Oxford Advanced learner’s Dictionary 6th edition defines cemetery as an area of land used for burying dead people. In a typical African perception, a cemetery is  regarded as a no go area, a place of  fear, a place of ghost, a place if mentioned would cause a crying child to have a shrewd idea, a place where the living are not accommodated, a place where witches and wizards cluster to test their prowess because of darkness. Such is the simple description of Government Primary School , Oruko in Urue offong/Oruko local government area, Akwa Ibom state. Read the rest of this entry
