An Invitation to Share E-Kola!
The Kolanut is very simbolic in my own part of the world. One of the ways, for instance, for a guest to demonstrate true love and hospitality to a visitor is to offer the nut. In most cases, such presentations are followed by momentary supplications to Chukwu-Abiama (God Almighty) asking for blessings to those who would partake of the eating of the nut. The blessings, among others, would include the health, prosperity, longevity of the eaters of the Kola. And, of course, for the success of the reasons that informed the gathering.
So, please come and share with me this E-Kola since our medium of gathering is virtual!
