See throwback picture below:
He wrote, “As a teenager, the excitement that I would spend my Christmas holiday in Fegge was unimaginable. The experience enriched my worldview to the possibility that Charley Nwa Mgbafor was made for a place beyond my prevailing circumstance.
“Fegge got me dreaming. A city planned for decent humanity, with a scenery flowing from the banks of the Niger; wetting my fecund mind in the midst of material deprivation.
“A trip to Fegge is all that was required to give one a sense of urban aesthetics, one that is totally lost upon two generations of Fegge dwellers.
“Something in me leads a daily protest – ‘Bring Back Fegge!’
“It’s 10 days to Christmas, and the protest is swelling even deeper. Indeed, the future we seek is in our past.
