Egya, Sule Emmanuel. “The Poor Woods of Northern Nigeria.” Springs: The Rachel Carson Center Review, no. 1 (July 2022).
I have loved trees since childhood. Mother said she was sitting under a mango tree when her water broke and I was to be born. She carried me as a baby and sang me lullabies under trees. I took my first steps under trees. I played as a toddler under trees. I am now an adult with a profound respect for trees. (From the article)
