UNITY POT
Nuclear is Alien...
Nuclear power from outside space?
Not my point!!!
I mean that Nuclear Family is Alien.
It is alien to the basic African ideology.
Our "Nuclear" is "Extended."
The very facet of our individual existences
has root in the spirit of NWANNE.
We are by nature community beings.
Our real heroes are those who really lived and live for the rest.
E'er heard of the Unity Pot?
I'll tell you about it.
Our Unity Pot is large... That's because our Nuclear is Extended.
The food steaming in Daa Nkechi's small kitchen is for her kids, the neighbours two children, grandma, and the youths in the village square.
Down to our cooking tradition, AFRICA VALUES sharing together.
The next time you use your alien gas cooker to ready the meal, improvise our Unity Pot and put a smile on the faces of those hungry lads who can barely afford the most basic of needs!!!
