A Nigerian lady has melted hearts as she praised her mother for doing 'omugwo' for her.

'Omugwo' is a cultural practice among the Igbo people of the eastern part of Nigeria. It involves young mothers understanding motherhood and childcare.

Apart from teaching young mothers how to care for a newborn, omugwo also serves to transfer family knowledge from the older generation of mothers to their daughters.

In a TikTok video, @mummychimbuodogwu joined her mother, who was carrying her baby, in the living room.
