Morning Activities

In the morning,I woke up, prayed, cleaned up and went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast for my kids with rice and stew and fried plantains. We moved to the shop so we can change up our clothes and prepare for the funeral while waiting for the bus my uncle booked for us to arrive.

We were given a place to sit. Few minutes after our arrival, the funeral service started.

Afternoon Activities

In the afternoon, we were still at the funeral service. Infact, we spent our morning, afternoon and evening at the funeral venue. Let me introduce you to some of my family members, uncles, Aunts, Cousins and family friends. Other family members were still on their way even after we arrived.

Different groups both political and non political groups also came. These were the Village Women's Association.

The kind of songs sang by these group of women, even if your waist was stiff for many years, upon hearing their songs and drums with konga, Chai! You must dance. @uyaiuyo was not an exception of the above explanations. I danced and danced and
danced. (Ikot ofon village in Ikono Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, una do this one).

The woman was successfully buried and item six (entertainment) took place.

Evening Activities

In the evening, we were still entertained at the venue with different foods and drinks.

After the entertainment, we entered our bus and zoomed we got to our home town safely. Thank God for Journey Mercies.
We got to the shop, changed up and relaxed while waiting for my husband to come and pick us home.

This was my Mum after changing her dress and rocking her princess's sun shade.... It sure looked good on her.
