Great Migration to Lagos.part 4

I could recall the role and obligation of the extended family in the general upringing of the child , nuclear family in most cases don't really rely on their strength alone.Obviously money is not everything specifically for financially bouyant families and it requires that moral support also matter and we can be lonely with wealth sometimes.I think it definitely on the primacy of the individual parent and how they endeavor to manage their family.

In my own case study I could recall innumerable times extended family heavily impact on my father's family and success not always for the worse but for the better.Infact the robust internal support structures of our extended family truly empowers my parents like other relatives and siblings and a key launching pad for the success of external competitiveness.Lands to build properties came from grandfather supposedly the richest man in Ogbomoso in his time,the first owner or pioneer baker with pioneer bakery in the town .I could still recall brother olu that Dad willed the perhaps the only surviving bakery machine lister machine to before we left hometown.He later sold the land upon which grandfather's bakery willed to him was built.I found out after I return home to explored our dusted memory of forlorn times and revel bits of golden childish memoirs.

I could still revel in that wondrous memoirs of my brother white power 001and his indulgence over brother Olu's bakery bread twice every fortnightly bringing deli home to our relish and sweet gastronomy.Quite often elated at the potpourri of bakery 's baking process and bountiful delicacies earmarked for market,would pounce on daddy's orders for his errand to the baker and bring home family's weekly delicacies prior to Sunday service.Whitepower is quite addicted to the gourmet insomuch that during the great migration is as if he could not do awesomely away with the delicacy the way I was to the newspapers, broadsheet or tabloid in general.He took a stint in bakeries here and there and later at carwash joints to cover and insulate the survival period.We juggle several period from 1995 to 2025 jobless prior to registration of Midland cosmos ltd in may 29,2025 through a friend a long term partner Oladimeji Ogunyemi whom I met on the debate ground our usual parliament of news Congress the newstand .We got the glue immediately the moment we discussed Nigerian politics during the period and it was on the great awo politics of the fifties .His analysis struck a cord and I tried a little correction and we became stuck to each other and we discovered each other by sheer brilliance.

This is another exciting muse in the analytical appraisal of the historical rendition a critical rendezvous of beautiful anecdotes.

Let me say most businesses which were initiated by our genealogy later crumbled when they move overseas for greener pastures.They might not though thought this way but reading through documented evidences proven with various setback of the perhaps one of the first indigenous family conglomerates in black Africa that was begun in 1940s we had no qualm whatsoever the business recorded quite a substantial setback left in the hands of  baba wura.

When patriarch decided to go to school in Ghana at archimota in 1962 they left the rotten extended family supermarket behind and they came thereafter after the exit highly educated with their wonderful entrepreneurial drive.The robust internal support structures of families extended or nuclear is the single greatest benediction of the child internal support structures.

Patriarch got a land parcel at 47 years and received the survey plan for the factory at the same time in agodi Ibadan prior to construction of the premises.It could be hard to survive once the internal support structures is weak.Most families not to talk of these little sacrifices find it hard to survive like wise the case studies in the picture provided the support not forthcoming.
