Week 2 Post B

I read up to the part where Sade and Femi are dropped off at the airport to begin their journey to London. It seems like they are in danger at all times, due to the corrupt government and police. When Uncle Tunde was driving them to the airport they had to be put in the back with blankets covering them, to protect them from being recognized by the police. "I'm late, officer. My mother is coming to the airport now. I must be the first one she sets her eyes on. You know how it is with mothers!{...}Oh, it's only rubbish at the back officer"(26)! Uncle Tunde had to pursuade the officers by telling them that he is in a hurry and making himself look innocent. It's crazy that Sade and Femi have to worry about all these kinds of things, when most kids their age can just run around all day and have fun. They must act mature and learn how to handle themselves in scary situations. All of this was brought on them due to their father's actions. But the question is, is it worth telling and writing about the truth? Which connects to the title, "The Other Side of Truth." Sure, it will hopefully bring awareness to all the wrongdoings, but his wife was already killed and the lives of himself and the rest of his family is indanger. I think he's making the right decesion to keep doing what he's doing, since it is important and is something he values and he is also desperately trying to protect his children by sending them to London. Hopefully, the children remain safe and he is able to continue on with his profession.
