The Political Campaign

Baba was indecisive about who heā€™d be voting for in the coming elections until the campaign came to our hometown in Ekiti.

The candidate had a few words on key sectors, threw blames passim and then, he said something that made Baba and several men cringe.

ā€˜I donā€™t believe women should just stay home to pound yam for their husbandsā€¦ā€™

We heard nothing afterwards. Pounded yam is a very sensitive topic here.

Baba looked at me, clearly mortified. When we left the campaign grounds, his mind was made up. If I was older, I would vote for the opposition too.

I love to hear from you, Leave a comment here!
