I called my mother, and she refused to come to my house for Omugwo just because my husband is not as rich as my sister’s husband. We are managing, living in a one-room and parlour apartment. My mother told me that she’s not ready to go to face me and do Omugwo when my sister’s husband has a place where she can relax everywhere and enjoy AC. I told her that I have AC in both my parlour and room, and anywhere she wants to stay, I’m ready to let her stay. However, she said no. I was nine months pregnant, while my sister was around six months pregnant, and we live in the same part of Lagos, on the Island precisely. If she really wanted to come, maybe she could have stayed with me for a month or two before my sister gave birth. But she refused and went to my sister’s house instead. She was at my sister’s house when I called my sister to tell her that I had given birth. I cried when my mother told me that she couldn’t come to my house for Omugwo because she didn’t want to suffer. When I called my sister and told her that I had given birth, my mother didn’t even call me to congratulate me; instead, it was in the background that she said, ‘Oh, thank God.’ I felt so bad. My husband told me not to worry and that he would ask his elder sister to come and do Omugwo for me since my mother-in-law is late. His sister came and did the Omugwo very well for me. A few months after giving birth, my husband lost his job. His friend called him to come and learn the business he was doing because it was paying well. It was tough, but I managed my small business. My husband went to live with his friend, who taught him the business, and it took him over a year to learn fully. During this period, his friend would sometimes give him N50,000, which he would send to us. We managed and continued like that until after a year or two, when my husband learned the job very well and started getting contracts everywhere. Now, my husband owns a duplex and is doing well. During that difficult period, we promised ourselves that we wouldn’t get pregnant until everything got better. Although it was tough, my sister, who was like a mother to me, would send us money. When things got better, I told my sister that I appreciated her support, and she told my mother about it. My mother never cared to call us for over six years that we struggled, starting from the day we got married. She didn’t support our marriage at first because my husband wasn’t rich. Now that my husband is doing well and I’m pregnant with our second child, almost ready to give birth, my mother is calling me after six years, saying she heard I’m pregnant and asking when I’m due. I told her I don’t need her; she should go to my sister’s house because my sister-in-law is still alive and active, and she can do it for me. People are telling me she’s still my mother, but if you’re in my shoes, what would you do? Would you allow her to come for the Omugwo or let your sister-in-law, who did it for you when you had nothing, do it again?
