Nigerian reality television star, Edeh Nkechinyere known to the public as Enkay has recounted what she would have been doing on a Sunday if she hadn’t made it out of her parents’ house.
The Enugu-born fashion designer took to her Instagram page on Sunday, May 17, 2020 to state that 12 years ago today, her outfit would have been a pleated skirt and worn out polo standing next to her mother while she prepares Sunday food for the family.
“On a typical Sunday, twelve years ago, I would have been wearing a pleated skirt with worn out polo standing next to my mother while she makes the stew and I assist by handing her the things she needs,something she can clearly do herself. *dodges slippers*”, she began.
She continued that while her mom goes on with the food preparation, she(Enkay) would be all eyes watching her mom pound kernels with so much expertise.
And when the mom is done pounding, her own job would be to wash all the dishes during which she’ll unknowingly soak herself in oil all because she wouldn’t keep her hands steady.
“On the days we make Banga stew (Ofe Akwu) I would watch her pound the kernels with so much expertise, it was always a beautiful sight. By the time the sieving of the banga is done, I would have been soaked in oil because for some reason I couldn’t keep my hands steady. I would still end up doing the dishes and cleaning the floor while the stew is on fire. The amazing aroma coupled with the “Nchuanwu” leaves was always a delight.”, Enkay said.
As the food gets ready to be served, Enkay revealed that she and her 7 siblings would gather in the sitting room gisting and waiting for the food.
“My 7 siblings and I, together with my parents would gather in the sitting room,gisting and watching tv while we wait for the food.”
The reality star however concluded that even though her life has come a long way to look different from the past, her mom wouldn’t mind engaging her to same kind of work but the latter scenario would be more magical than the former.
She concluded, “This is me, clad in this amazing @theenkayclothing pink suit set and I’m just laughing because suit or not, my mother would have still made me help her; this time around,it’ll be me pounding the kernel,splashing the oil all over this outfit. But who cares? It’ll wash off, that’s the magic of @theenkayclothing outfits.”
