The Chronicles of Ngu.

The thoughts of an African Man Abroad — In Pidgin English.

Uncle how far
hope say body di waka
I don finally reach that area
By next month money go don enta.

Tell all man say make dem no bother,
for this place all thing must waka
that money weh you borrow
small time bolo go pay am

Morning and night shift no mata
I no kam here na for chop soya
the suffa for here beta pas
atleast man di work see small grass

Nobe that side weh all thing sleep straight
men dem di hustle day and night
but money node show face
poor don chop all their back foot
even money for chop no deh;

Just di pray for me
say as I struggle every day
make God deh give me grace
one day I go make enough money
clear debt, clean place.

Make I run go work,
We go story again next week|
make all wuna stay fine.

A letter from Ngu, who moved out of his home country in search of greener pastures. This is his first-ever letter to his uncle upon his arrival. More letters will unfold as he experiences life in the white mans’ land.

To be continued…

See you soon!
