Ladies of Hive, once again welcome to my blog. Well, if I get the opportunity and my fellow Hive sister or brother is planning a 3-day visit to my hometown, I will be so glad. It goes like this:
Day One
The first day will be a light welcome and a folk storytelling and songs session and the history of my hometown. That will help you relax and calm down from your previous journey as you are listening to the folktale which is blends with music 🎵🎶, the band, musical instruments like the drums, and you can see ladies, boys, and children dancing.
While you are relaxing and unwinding from your previous journey, you will be served our special delicacy, which is black soup and fresh okra soup with roasted fish. After that, she will take her rest.
Day Two
The second day, I will take her to my king’s palace to visit him and also seek his permission for me to show her how my culture is and how my hometown looks. So now, starting from the king’s palace, we have our elders, masks, and all the handicrafts, and after that, we will head straight to the river (Adi Gang Gang). It's a big river indeed and full of history and so many things like folktales as I have said. And from there, we go straight home where I will serve her a delicious dinner, which is made by me—fresh fish pepper soup—and I will let her take her shower and rest till the following day.
Day Three
The third day, today we will be heading to the market square, so we will book for a ship 🚢 from my house to the market where she will get to see everything for herself—all the fresh fish, yam, roasted fish, corn 🌽. In fact, it's not just by name; indeed, we are the full food basket of the nation. We are the best. After all the walking around, then I will go and book another 🚤 boat from the market to my house, and I will allow her to take a shower, and then I will serve her dinner (Orna and Orho Nobi).
Next thing, I will dress up in my traditional attire, and we will be heading to the king’s palace for the cultural dancing—a mixture of masquerade dancing, wonderfully! From there to the small market square to get blessings and pleasantries from the palace elders.
At the end of this visit, I am sure that you have not only experienced our culture and traditions, but also have a story and feel the connection and memory of my hometown. And I am certain that this memory will be with you for a lifetime.
This is my entry answering one of this week's Ladies of Hive community contests.
Thank you🙏❣️

I would love to enjoy that plan, you are undoubtedly a good hostess. What I would most like to do is the masquerade dancing and the boat trip!
Thank you very much @palomap3 it will be such a great honor to host you in my hometown. And yeah, the masquerade dancing and the boat trip will be such a great experience no doubt.
Discussing the history of a certain town is important so a tourist knows the boundaries

You're gonna have to help me pick out a traditional outfit too. There's a point where I'd like to appear to blend in than stick out like a tourist. And I can't leave without a set of selfies with the two of us at our most memorable moments.
Thanks for a peek into the plan @hauwee
