How you could borrow as least as a matchstick or go hot coal hunting from your neighbours and wouldn’t be begrudged one as you saw. Parents wake up early to help get the kids ready for school. While assisting their wives in doing chores, too. Here, there’s no gender biased role. Everyone in every family did everything, especially the men. Sometimes, the bathroom is far from the main building, hence your having to walk a while with your bucket of water. Sometimes, you’d get there and still stand in line while gossiping away the morning and waiting your turn. As terrible as it may sound, it encourages one to be an early bird. You’d hear things like, ‘Iya Ayo, e be like you no wake early today o?’ Akara starts at 6.30 or earlier. Those who go for sales by the roadside are already cooking, and the commercial engine grinding away millets and more beans for Akara, for every vendor across the street or further. This place is called “Market under the tree” It’s simplicity in living and loving embellishes the soul with happiness. Home is indeed where the hearth is.”.
