About the omugwo culture in Nigeria
Omugwo is the postpartum care given to a young mother by a much more experienced woman who must have raised many kids herself.
The reasoning behind Omugwo is that young mothers need to be tutored on how to care for newborn babies and also helped to understand the changes that occur in their bodies during pregnancy and after childbirth.
Apart from teaching young mothers how to care for a newborn, Omugwo serves as a transfer of family knowledge from the older generation of mothers to their daughters, who will do the same for their children.
In a related story, a Nigerian lady shared how she prepared her mother to come abroad for omugwo.

She recently gave birth to a baby, and she invited her father to the UK to do Omogwu, a role traditionally reserved for mothers.
She and her husband were full of joy when they saw the man at the airport where they went to welcome him.
