I didn't know she had sold it to pay my brother's school fees. Years later, after I secured a job in Abuja, I returned home to renovate our old house. While clearing out Dad's wooden wardrobe, I discovered an envelope hidden beneath some old documents. Inside was a handwritten letter and a receipt for a plot of land Dad had purchased before his death. He had written Mum's name on the documents. I couldn't believe it. I immediately contacted the estate agent whose name appeared on the receipt.
