My father’s eldest sister lost her husband weeks ago.
I heard today that she has fixed the funeral for June. Lots of months to be sure he is truly dead. I know what happened. She is in deep shock.
They met while in university in the US. I lived with them in Lagos for years and none is problematic. Of course, I lived comfortably with them and got everything I wanted. This was even before I went to India at 18 and to university. Not as house boy, but as Landlord. 😂
My room was upstairs and my aunt made my food and called me to the dining room to eat.
“Onyeka (in that posh accent), your food is ready.” She is very educated by the way. Highly educated.
The perfect couple. She always called him Daddy. He called her Mummy. Devout Christians of Foursquare Gospel Church.
This is the beauty of it: he is Yoruba and she is Igbo.
I know what is happening: I think she is in shock and she doesn’t believe he is dead. If you let her, she may never bury him.

SEYI: Alright team, listen carefully… you’re going to the warehouse, Yes, the one where the rice has been aging gracefully since Covid like fine wine.
Take those legendary bags, open them up, and pour the contents into these new bags , we just produced Millions of them, by the way don’t ask questions. Just pour, shake small small, and seal it.
ALL: Oh… okay sir… so we’re basically giving the rice a glow up and redistributing?
SEYI: Exactly. It’s not expired, it’s vintage.
ALL: Say no more, sir. Operation Rice Resurrection and Redistribution is on the way … 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️

Knowing a lie told about someone is a lie but pretending not to know, is the greatest sin most Britons committed against me when it comes to Oxford and many Nigerians, who chose to believe lies as truths, just because of the sheer joy they will derive, as long as it means it is against Onyeka Nwelue.
Una go tire.
I have been in this literary world from the day I was born. 😂
Don’t forget the kind of families I come from: generations of griots and writers.
This was Chief Adichie at the memorial lecture of my grandfather.

Stephen Embleton thought I was being paid as the Advisor on African Literature at Oxford Literary Festival. He went to take my place there by going directly to Sally Dunsmore. When he eventually found out that I raised money for the festival and flew in writers into the UK for the festival, he took off. 😂
