@gee-akpan at a friend's mother's burial

Good morning steemians! It is wonderful to have wonderful people like you in this platform! I'm here to share with you guys how I spent my day on the 13th of November, 2021. Please I will really appreciate your perusal! God bless you!

The morning was a blissful one! All that was in my mind was the burial ceremony of the mother of my friend and colleague! I was in a haste to do my normal morning chores so that I can met up with others of my friends and comrades in our association known as Uyio Ndito Akwa Ibom who also wanted to come and sympathised with our friend in his mother's funeral service! When I woke, I had to sweep and clean the house and my environment after which I had to went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and also had a cool bath. After bathing, I went to the dinning room and had my breakfast! When I was done with my meal, I went and dressed up for the burial ceremony which was to be held at Ikot Obiokoi Village, in Mkpat Enin Local Government in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

On completion of my preparation, I set out the our meeting point to meet others of my friends so that we can board a bus as a group and proceed for the burial ceremony ground! On getting to our meeting point, I was so elated to see all the members (my friends) of the Uyio Ndito Akwa Ibom in complete number! When we were all complete, we boarded two minibuses and proceed to Ikot Obiokoi Village in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria which the burial ceremony was supposed to be held. The distance from Uyo, the Capital City of Akwa Ibom State to Ikot Obiokoi Village in Mkpat Enin Local Government was a very long distance!

The journey wasn't an easy one! One of our minibuses had a flat tyre for three (3) consecutive time and the stress was immense! We had to buy and replaced these tyres each time it burst or is deflected! But to the glory of God, we finally reached our destination at around 3pm Nigerian time and by this time, the burial ceremony was at it concluding end, but luckily, we met the processions at the grave side, at least we didn't totally missed out at the event!

The burial ground

The evening of November 13th 2021 met us all at the reception ground, the bereaved compound still in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. At the reception ground, there was enough of refreshment! The host or bereaved, who is our friend and colleague really treated us right! He gave us different delicacies of meals and drinks like soft drinks, hot drinks and beers! The meals were served includes, fried rice, jollof rice, plantain porridge, afang soup, white soup among others! My follow steemians, we did really had a good time at the reception ground and how I wish you guys were there to enjoy with us!

My follow steemians, this was how I spent my day on the 13th of November, 2021. The day was full of fun and stress also. But in all these, we thank God Almighty for making it possible for us to go and support our friend during his mother's funeral service!
