🕯️The Day My Father Died But Didn’t” — A Tragicomedy of Inheritance and Indomie

I got a call one afternoon:

"Your father is dead."

I paused. Tears gathered like unpaid loans.

My mind wandered to his last words:

"Don’t touch my generator when I’m gone."

He was gone now. The generator hummed louder.

I travelled 7 hours in a rickety bus filled with chickens and a preacher who prophesied my "financial breakthrough" —

All I had was N700.

At the family compound, everyone wore black.

Wailing. Drama. Even people I hadn't seen since 2003 were crying louder than his real children.

Then, like a Nollywood twist…

He walked in. Alive. Breathing. Holding bread and La Casera.

Turns out: He only switched off his phone for 3 days to rest.

My uncle thought that meant transition.

Now, I’m trending in the village WhatsApp group as “the prodigal son who came back with Indomie and onions.”

He made me return it.

"You think I died and carried hunger?" he said.

Death didn’t come that day; But embarrassment surely did.

It's not good for a child to be arrogant, lazy, foolish, and crazy towards inheritance from his or parents
