The funeral at Awka Etiti took place yesterday.
@officialuncle.p laid his father to rest.
Unfortunately, I could not attend because I was away at UNN on the invitation of the Department of Theatre Arts for a workshop on the adaptation of folklore into film.
Today, however, I went to perform the required rites.
In our Igbo tradition, one who was absent at a funeral due to another pressing obligation or important engagement can always return at a later date to pay their respects and fulfil the necessary rites.
May the soul of Pa Obi continue to rest in peace.
