That was when I got called out of school because I needed to be home. I knew someone had died because of how everyone in school was tiptoeing around me. The only thing I kept saying at the airport was, \u2018I just hope it is not my dad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor some callous reason, I was okay with it being anyone but him. When I got home, I was greeted by a crowd. As I walked into the house, I was thinking about which of my family members had died. I saw my brothers, then I saw my mum, and, at that moment, I froze because I knew it was my dad that had died.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure if it was the guilt of wishing death on someone else, and not him, or because I was too young to process it or because I was still angry with him for shipping me off, but I was numb and emotionless, and it has affected me to this day. It was like something died in me.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;font: initial;background: initial;background-blend-mode: initial;border: initial;border-radius: initial;border-collapse: initial;caption-side: initial;clear: initial;columns: initial;column-fill: initial;column-rule: initial;column-span: initial;cursor: initial;flex: initial;flex-flow: initial;float: initial;height: 0px;letter-spacing: initial;margin: initial;max-height: initial;max-width: initial;min-height: initial;min-width: initial;overflow: initial;padding: initial;text-align: initial;text-decoration: initial;text-indent: initial;text-transform: initial;vertical-align: initial;border-spacing: initial;width: initial\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;font: initial;background: initial;background-blend-mode: initial;border: initial;border-radius: initial;border-collapse: initial;caption-side: initial;clear: initial;columns: initial;column-fill: initial;column-rule: initial;column-span: initial;cursor: initial;flex: initial;flex-flow: initial;float: initial;height: 0px;letter-spacing: initial;margin: initial;max-height: initial;max-width: initial;min-height: initial;min-width: initial;overflow: initial;padding: initial;text-align: initial;text-decoration: initial;text-indent: initial;text-transform: initial;vertical-align: initial;border-spacing: initial;width: initial\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;font: initial;background: initial;background-blend-mode: initial;border: initial;border-radius: initial;border-collapse: initial;caption-side: initial;clear: initial;columns: initial;column-fill: initial;column-rule: initial;column-span: initial;cursor: initial;flex: initial;flex-flow: initial;float: initial;height: 0px;letter-spacing: initial;margin: initial;max-height: initial;max-width: initial;min-height: initial;min-width: initial;overflow: initial;padding: initial;text-align: initial;text-decoration: initial;text-indent: initial;text-transform: initial;vertical-align: initial;border-spacing: initial;width: initial\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran Nollywood screen diva, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has described how she felt when she learned her father had died.
