No sacrifice was too great to be made to ensure the almighty baby boy to whom all inheritance would be left. Even men who had nothing to leave behind but their surnames and debts wanted to have “sons to be my heirs.” Biko, what are they inheriting but your wahala?

The mistake many make - and I’m guilty of this too- is to assume that people who have access to the same knowledge as you do , will see the same things you do
