That's normal of our parent expecially during these delicate times. They might want to let you have your space to do what you'd wanted to do but since this moment in Nigeria is a very risky one due to the level of insecurities att the moment, no parent will want to grant his/her child access to go as far as that journey.
Getting to tell them the reason for your movement was the the best thing you did and it finally worked out as you'd envisaged. Cheers brother @starstrings01
Yah! I understand them actually. They really got scared the last time I was sick and now overprotective because of it. I have gotten them to trust my decisions, now I am in school.
Hope you'll be around for granny's burial bro.
sure I would
