“Now that I am on holiday, I decided to help out my mom with her ogi (corn pap) business. It takes roughly 4 days to prepare the ogi, and an additional 2-3 hours to dish them out in small nylon bags after which I take them out to the streets of Lagos to sell. It usually takes a couple of days to sell the entire batch after which we begin the whole process all over again. The profits she makes from the sale of the pap is how my mother is able to pay for my school fees and other bills in the house. And as the first child I often feel the need to help her out whenever I can.”
