OKIRIKA
<p>The thing is, I'm not really a fan of okrika.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don't get me wrong oo, but I've always had this annoyance towards okrika. I don't like it, and I've always avoided it.</p><p><br/></p><p>So, this particular day, I was supposed to go and buy my sisters school stuffs.</p><p><br/></p><p>On getting to the market, I heard one woman shouting, "Bend down select! One-one thousand!"</p><p><br/></p><p>Omoh, I first wan form steeze. Because normally, how can clothes be that cheap? I carried my face and pretended like I didn't hear anything.</p><p><br/></p><p>But tell me why one woman lifted a gown, and GUYS!!!</p><p><br/></p><p>I WAS WOWED!!!</p><p><br/></p><p>This gown was so beautiful that my annoyance towards okrika almost disappeared on the spot.</p><p><br/></p><p>I said, "Wait oo, so this is what I've been missing?"</p><p><br/></p><p>I abandoned my steeze and started searching tirelessly. At this point, I was desperate.</p><p><br/></p><p>And then, like a miracle from heaven, I saw IT.</p><p><br/></p><p>A beautiful, flared, emelard gown with flowers.</p><p><br/></p><p>GUYS, THIS GOWN WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!</p><p><br/></p><p>Beautiful would honestly be an understatement. The colour? Gorgeous. The design? Stunning. Everything about it was giving what it was supposed to give!</p><p><br/></p><p>I carried my new treasure home happily, washed it, ironed it, and waited for the perfect opportunity to wear it.</p><p><br/></p><p>And that opportunity came when I wore it to church.</p><p><br/></p><p>The gown wasn't too short, it was very comfortable, and it had this slightly off-shoulder style that made it even more beautiful.</p><p><br/></p><p>The admiration that day? TOP-NOTCH!!!</p><p><br/></p><p>"Wow, where did you get this dress?"</p><p><br/></p><p>"Ah-ah, this gown is fine ooo!"</p><p><br/></p><p>People were admiring my dress, and me? I was just smiling like I just arrived. </p><p><br/></p><p>But honestly, that gown taught me something: sometimes, the things we have already judged are the very things that end up surprising us.</p><p><br/></p><p>After a while, I stopped wearing my gown because it got really short, but my sister is proudly rocking it now.</p><p><br/></p><p>And the funniest part? I still can't believe that the same me who used to avoid okrika is now always looking for an opportunity to visit an okrika stand. </p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes, the real gems aren't in expensive boutiques. Sometimes, they're waiting for you in the most unexpected places.</p>
