“If shoes grew on trees…” (II) By Chris Uwadoka

Anyanwu, a stock broker, literally brought down the roof with a story about his nephew whose exam result showed an improvement in his position from 6th to 5th. As the boy’s father encouraged him to gun for the 1st position in the class, the lad innocently responded in igbo, “anyi nwere onye n’agbara anyi first” (we have someone who takes first for us)” more.
