Life is a lesson Time is precious and reasonable only to self.

When my father was alife, He worked hard to make sure we feed, get educated and become responsible children. He was a custodian of Edo culture and tradition. was so involve and incline in serving and performing palace duties. He was among "igbama" of "ogbelaka" that dance ekasa for Oba Erediawa and serving earlier Oba Akenzua. His father too (Ogieva Ogbeide) who was also a great traditional medicine doctor, was among inner chief performing rituals in the palace. They both were great custodian of Edo culture and tradition.

At the time we grow older, catholism and penticostalism cut up with us as early as 10 years old, we became baptize and born agains. The invisible Jesus became our father, mother, teacher and spiritual leader (by faith as they indoctrinated us). Now born again, Edo culture and tradition became paganism, idolatory and dirty. I lost interest in questioning and learning what my grand father knew, what my father knew and many family tradtions.

Getting to Europe suppose civilize world, I realize all i have been tought was fake and deception. I saw the value of ones tradition and culture. helding many community festival planning committees in Europe, I saw, Indian, Parkistan, Morroccans, Equatorianos, Brazilian, Mexicans, Cubans, Russians, Italian and many divers cultures all accross the world being celebrated. I painted myself several time like what Edo people will call "Ekpo" to demonstrate celebrating on Spanish festivals. It took me many years be able to decolonize my christian indoctrinated and colonized mind.

Realizing why must be myself, value, live my culture including selling it to outside world like everyone does, made up my mind to set out time to follow up with my father who was so knowledgable about Edo culture and tradition. My passion grew high going back to the root to relearn.

While was preparing a travel home from Europe, visit my father to explain many history, culture, tradition and family customs to make a documentary . A shocking news came to me that my lovely and dearest daddy is gone to meet his ancestors. uff!, I lost It!, I lost the knowledge of my grand father and my father! . I commonlize them, I didn't care to write anything down. I procrastinated and I am now to find myself in the dark.

*Where did I get It wrong? How can I help my children not to have same experience?
I will stop here and allow my readers* ...
