“I believe that Mama had provided all that you need and all the necessary advice that you need to succeed. It is important to note that Mama died at old age and secondly because you are all old enough to take care of yourselves. But one thing I know you will miss is the close relationship and that Mother’s food that you would always want to eat each time you come from Asaba. No matter how best your sister or any other person can cook one thing remains that there is nothing like one’s mother’s food which is different from any other food,” Governor Amaechi said.
