Sometime last year...i raised a point in supporting the abolishing of iri-ekpe (taking your brother's properties when he die without having a son) in my umunna (kindred)...It didn't scale through....I had to wait for elections of umunna to come...I contested for chairman and lost with 3 votes....then i was made the vice chairman unopposed....The opportunity to put an end to that taking over of a man's properties because he didn't have a son now lies in my own hand.... February 8th 2026 being umunna meeting... chairman travelled to China for business meetings and handed full authority to me to be proceeding on affairs of the meeting...I did what I have to do....I used just one meeting to put an end to that trash.....The only way you can inherit your brother's properties in my umunna currently is if he died without having a child at all and the wife die after and leaving no one else that's when you can now enter.....

If you’ve eaten in actual foreign restaurants in Lagos, you’ll understand,lol.
Many foreign foods you eat in Nigeria were “Nigerianized” (seasoned,spiced).
Infact, when the first wave of atarodo withdrawal hits you. You start planting it in your house.
I know this feeling.
I cried at my brother's wedding. Not because I was emotional over him getting married, but because we were no longer the people we used to be. And we never would be again.
Of course the annoying part was men coming up to me and saying, "Don't worry, you'll get married someday, too." Completely misunderstanding why I was emotional. Turns out they were wrong on both counts.

Seeing this post prompted me to share a story. Not fiction
When my elder sister gave birth to her first child, her husband would usually carry the baby during his morning prayers. It started off as, “Let me help my wife carry the baby since she couldn’t sleep last night,” and soon became a routine.
Every day, by 4 a.m., as he prepared for his daily morning prayers, the baby would wake up crying. He would carry her on his chest like in this image and pray with her for the two hours he usually spends in prayer. The beautiful thing about this routine was that once he carried her and she rested on his chest, she stopped crying. She would remain awake but peaceful throughout the entire prayer session.
