There's a way a Naija mum asks a question when she already knows the answer. She doesn't ask "did you do it." She asks "did anything happen today?" Open. Careful. The kind of question that gives a child room to come forward on their own terms. The kind that lets

OWAMBE PARTY. Episode 2 continues

She was only looking for the sandals. That is all she wanted. Just to try them on. Just to feel, for one afternoon, like someone who was invited somewhere. She was not supposed to look further than that. But the envelope was right there. And curiosity does not ask for permission. #nigeriansto
