What Are Some Of Your Fondest Memories Of Your Mother?
This morning, I was just chilling in the compound, and one of my young bachelor neighbours stepped out of his apartment with ankara material wrapped around his waist - and the first thing that came to my mind was "Na him mama definitely give am the wrapper!" - oh yes, and it was not to mock him, but rather it was funny, because me sef get the wrapper wey my mama give me when I wan commot from house that year.
If you grew up in a traditional Nigerian home, chances are, you sef get wrapper wey your mama give you. You could have towels and all that, but you see that material, it's always like an heirloom. God bless our mothers truly - many of them were not rich in wealth, but they were filled with so much love that even their 1 kobo carried the weight of gold.
Note, this love is not flawless o - my mama dey beat shege for my body that time; I was an introverted but yet strong-headed (them go say wicked) child, but that tough love helped me turn out right, because even when she beat you, she'll still be careful not to hurt you.
Those days, after she beat me and I don cry tire, she go come carry me dey pet me. So what are your fondest memories of your mother? If she's still alive today, as that memory puts a smile on your face, call her and say "thank you my darling mother".
