Idumi Irakuduma. Manhood Undoes Itself

The word culture, as used and practiced by Hip Hop artists, shows me just how detached I am from the people who produced me, my fathers. It shows me the amount of debt I owe the people I have produced, my sons; my father calls me brother these days.As regards the incident I mentioned earlier; It gives me a perspective as to why my village folk, elegant in expression and strangers to verbosity, once in 2021 thought me a stranger and mistakenly branded me a child trafficker. I had used my father’s instead of my grandfather’s family name when asked about my identity after a teenager from my clan ran away from me while I was in an anxious state, a flight that almost cost me my life, had I not re-introduced myself as my grandfather’s son.
