A living Library

Shufai Tahswer Nkar
Shufai Tahswer Nkar is a historian, a writer and one of the traditional notabls of the Nkar Fondom. 
 I was so happy to meet him and hear him talked of how they use to share information among themselves in the 60s. He was a correspondence with a press in Nigeria from 1961 - 1969 where he used to write and send his articles through the post office. As a pay for his articles he received free copies of the magazine every month.
Today he has a lot to tell about the history of Nkar, and Nso in general.
