My Sis Got Married Last Weekend - 2

For me, the day started on the wrong note.

‘Hi. My name is Dapo. Ibidapo William Adesida’

That was my Father.

He was perhaps the baddest guy in south western Nigeria at the time.

April 15

Tonight she had prepared his favourite dish of Amala and gbegiri soup. Not the traditional gbegiri soup but the one the rich people that lived in big houses and owned big cars ate. The kind that was filled with all sorts of assorted meat, [...]
