Crownvillar:
@ Osyxcel, you post above definitely sets you apart, as an objective, deep thinker.

Thank You... It's the simple truth people shy away from... We need to change our orientation as a people, only then can we have better leaders.

Good Morning.

psucc:
The problem the general public is facing is caused by a few 'fortunate' Nigerians. Have you ever given a thought to why every effort will not work in Nigeria even though same will turn things around elsewhere?

Check these:
1. Generator importers are sponsoring vandals to ensure that public power supply will never work while their sales boom
2. The few importers of petroleum products are ready to hold the country to Ransome by creating artificial scarcity at the slightest differences while they increase the turnover. To this ends, every effort to bring pur local refinery to operation will be futile.
3. Your tears at any of the economic crisis in Nigeria is somebody's double gain.

Like I always said, we are our own enemies in this country. Not all blame should be directed to our leaders. Afterall, the leaders are from the populace and not from outer space.

In Igbo Culture.... When your mother-in-law comes to take care of your new-born baby...

Thank You

Good development

When a woman puts to bed, she is usually too weak and overwhelmed to properly take care of herself,the new baby and her family. She would need ample time to rest from all the rigours of pregnancy and labour and for her body to heal. This is where the need for a very experienced hand comes in. In most tribes(the igbos for sure), it is the woman's mother that is expected to come for 'Omugwo' which has to do with taking proper care of the new mother and baby.

In some other tribes(like Yoruba for example), it is the woman's mother in law that has the responsibility to come and do it. A lot of new mothers would rather have their own mum do it. In some cases, especially inter tribal marriages, both the mother and mother in law come one after another has stayed for a particular period.

Some mothers go as far as doing almost everything for the woman who has just put to bed-from bathing the new mum,bathing the baby and general care of the baby, doing the cooking in the home to ensuring the house is kept tidy. Some limit their care to the baby alone. Some stay for as long as 3months or more, others stay for 2 weeks. It all depends on how much time the new grandmum has to spare,if she had to take leave from work to come over(cause some are still working),or if she had to leave a husband and kids behind to come. The more the responsibility the older woman left behind,most likely the shorter her stay

After this period of taking care of mother and baby,the couple are expected to buy Mama gifts as she is leaving. It's more like an expression of gratitude for all she has done. What they buy or give her varies from tribe to tribe, Mama's taste and also the budget of the couple.

Very succinct... Thanks
