My Uncle died 2021, I wasn’t there. One other of my Uncle simply died yesterday, and I gained’t be there once more.
I haven’t seen a few of my nephews since their start.
At what price once more? ☹️

To japa is nice, little doubt, however at what price precisely?
Households are separated for dwell solely to reunite once more on the burial of their mother and father, if all will probably be there.
I grew up bonding with my cousins at Grandma’s home. We are going to at all times be there for “Ụka Nne” celebration chanting “Nnem ife dị mma ka mụ ga-emere gị” music after overfeeding on ụkwa and Co. Christmas, New yr and Easter celebrations are usually not neglected too.
Now, all the things is pointing in direction of me elevating youngsters who won’t ever get to have that familial bonding & relationship with their cousins and different relations. Not as a result of I need to, however as a result of it’s what it’s.
The very factor that made us who we’re, are eroded on day by day foundation.
Nigeria actually must work. We are able to’t proceed like this in perpetuity.”
