In frame: My mom and her Uncle
There is a saying in Igala (A tribe in central Nigeria) that says: "It's the mother who molds us, because she's the first teacher we meet in this world." Looking at all the roles my mom played and still plays in my life. She instill values, confidence, and resilience. Her guidance and love is profound, molded me into a capable and compassionate young man. Her influence will last a lifetime, shaping who i become. In this picture I see a young woman who got married at 16 though a teenager but her wisdom is a fountain of treasures.
