When your mum's WhatsApp group is more dramatic than Nollywood

I walked into my mother's kitchen yesterday and she had her phone propped against the salt shaker, full volume, watching a 47-minute voice note from her prayer group. The topic? Why Sister Pat's daughter wore white to a wedding that wasn't hers.

Mum is narrating the drama to me like she's a CNN correspondent. She says, 'Chiamaka, that girl has no home training. The bride's family is still talking about it.' Meanwhile Sister Pat is on the group saying, 'It was cream, not white. And the lighting was bad.'

I just stood there thinking... these women have better investigative skills than EFCC. The way they track who wore what to which event across three different states. They have sources, alibis, timelines. No case is cold in that WhatsApp group. 😭
