Episode 4 — "The Omugwo Question" | Expecting Us: Nigerian Edition

Some traditions in this family aren't asked for — they're announced.

Mama Ngozi arrives with cheerful, unshakeable certainty: she'll be moving in to begin omugwo, months before the baby is even due. What starts as a Sunday family visit turns into the first real argument between Ada and Emeka — not about the baby, but about whose comfort rules their own home. And when Emeka can't fully choose a side between the two women he loves, the silence that follows says more than either of them wants it to.

Respect and control can look identical from where you're standing.

Catch up on Episode 3. Episode 5 is coming soon.
