“I feel so sorry for kids of today. They’ll never know what it’s like to go home on the 23rd and just weave through ppls houses and events until the 2nd. No sharing a big plate with 8 cousins. No running from the masquerades. No lighting knockouts.”
She went further to say things are now different now, backing it with some points:
“It’s so different now. The kids in the villages aren’t even getting this cause no one comes home as much. Cost of transportation, feeding, unsafe roads, bad roads. It’s too much. Those memories used to tide us over the next year. It’s so sad.”
She added that this is affecting the country’s culture, which traditionally ensured that families stay closely together and grow to know each other.
“Decades of culture wiped away, or at least significantly diminished in one fell swoop. Under one party. Crazy. Telling my nephews and nieces what it was like and it sounds like stories. But it was less than ten years ago.”
