Alive And Thriving - November 12 2022 - Attending Burial // Hanging With Friends // Vehicle Tyre Fixing

It's weekend, Saturday 12, 2022, the date for the burial of my wife's maternal uncle who was like a father to them while growing up. She had left on Friday morning to the village for early preparation against Saturday. I assisted her to arrange her luggage and load them to the vehicle and she left.

Saturday is here I had a company of friends who went with me. We left Uyo by 10a.m and arrive Mbiabong Ukan, Ikono Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State by 12.25pm, while the burial programne was on.

As an in-law to the family, I was highly welcome and we exchange pleasantries, greeting one member after the other that I totally forget taking a snapshot with my cell phone to have shared with you. I only manage to free myself to attend to some of my friends who were already seated some distance away.

When with them, I requested the palm-wine I went along with to be brought out from the vehicle and the mood commences. The wines went well with the dried fish along with pepper spices.

After the corpse was lowered, we were served some local delicacies.

It is now time to return. While loading the vehicle with the items she took along, I discovered that the vehicle has pick a sharp object in the left-back tyre. We had to change it with the spare.

After much greetings that seems as if it will not end, we finally left en-route Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Some distance away onto the tarred road, we notice something like the vehicle not balancing on the move. We tried to manage it till we get to the next local government - Ikot Ekpene.

While on the express road, the spare tyre we replace became so disturbing, hence we have to look for any available vulcanizer to fix the tyre.

Finally, after some distance we found one. The tyre was remove and work start

The sharp object was found and remove.

While waiting for the tyre to be fix.

Finally, it was over. Pump and fix.

The concluding journey was smooth down to Uyo.
We thank God for the successful outing.

Have a nice night rest.
