emeraldoe: I av 2 kids now and my mum did d 'omugo'. D mother to d lady shud come first cos she'll b more comfortable with her mum than MIL. After avin my 1st, my mum was with me for 2wks and I was well taken care of; then my MIL came into d picture. Hmmm didn't find it funny @ all. I virtually cooked myself( cos I didn't like d way she was preparing d meals), had to clean my baby up wen she is tru cos I wasn't comfortable with d way she does her tins. Infact, she even told me herself dat we do tins d modern way n dat she doesn't understand our pattern. For my 2nd, she didn't even bother comin. But she is really nice and carin. I'm Sorry to say this. You're evil 3 Likes |

I will prefer her mum first. Even if her MIL is as nice as a dove, she will still be comfy around her mum more. 7 Likes |

The lady's mum naa if she is available, unless the MIL is not the judgemental type coming with critical eyes for the new mother. She needs all the care now and who will help her not who is coming to judge. Lolz! 5 Likes 1 Share |

korel9: To clear the air first, "Omugo" is a 'local' Nigerian tradition where the mother of either the husband or the wife comes over after child birth to take care of both the woman and the baby for a little period of time.. Its omugwo not omugo 9 Likes 1 Share |

I think its more of culture dependent. For the Yoruba's the man's mum is the right person to be there according to their tradition while for the Igbo's the woman's mum. 2 Likes |

Pls it's not a competition. Traditionally, it's the wife's mother that goes for omugwo. In fact, whenever the husband's mother chooses to see her grandchild, she will only go there for a visit not for omugwo. Now, the first to go take care of the new baby will depend on who lives closer. In our own case, we live in the same state with my mum so automatically she would usually start to take care of the baby and my wife right from the hospital while my wife's mother gets herself ready to come over. My mum must get ready to leave immediately my wife's mum arrives for the omugwo. Note: In a situation where the wife's mother is late, the eldest sister or another woman nominated by the wife's family would go for the omugwo. Thank you. 1 Like |

Is this supposed to be a question? The lady's mum all the way. Except she isn't around. Omugo focuses more on taking care of the lady that has just gone through pains of child birth and not the child itself. The child no dey run na. 1 Like |

Can u send your mother in law on errands?? Market runs,changing of diapers,preparing meals. Cleaning the house whereby u ve older kids and a mess would always be made. You are more comfortable around your mother as a woman. So I say wife's mother first. Every mother in law should know this except the one who is just troublesome 14 Likes 2 Shares |

But wait o. If the two g.m's are late nko, won't d new couple find a way to do their 'omógo' ni? So, when I get married and have pikins, I'll just pretend they are both late and face d omugwo. Dnt insult me please. Na my opinion. Lyk my friend rightly said, 'am not drunk' *smiles |
