It is good to be here once again, I wish to drop this contest in my blog. Thanks to @steemit-family for the contest and thanks to @peachyladiva for introducing the contest here. What is family? A family is a body that constitute people who are closely and intimately related to each other through blood, marriage or adoption. ### SHORT DESCRIPTION ABOUT MY FAMILY I want to talk about my *'CLAN',* Which is also a family. I am opportune to be part of a family, from *Arum Tumara* village, *APKAH AZIGBO MARA* is the name of my *clan*. We are located in *FARIN RUWA* Development Area of *WAMBA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF NASARAWA STATE, NIGERIA*. We are a minute tribe and our language is *LOMO*. In my *CLAN* constitute families such as: *AJugbo Ayuwa *Sule Ayuwa *Haruna Manga *Audu Ajah *Peter Manga *Yusuf Manga (My family) *Ishaya Manga *The Akudas'. This families constituted the *APKAH AZIGBO MARA*. ### WHAT CAUSES DISPUTES MOST OF THE TIME? ![IMG_20211003_162624.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcPe7QJvy3qT18UekB2mci7jorWbxSkAr1viqZk5n6coq/IMG_20211003_162624.jpg) When ever we went to the village as a *clan* to discuss issues that will foster development and progress in the family, the meeting is always being disrupted by disagreement, especially when a dowry is given to the family, this causes a lot of misunderstanding, coupled with disputes that are unnecessary, and all these things were as a result of individual views that are not in conformity with one another. In the *CLAN*, there are: * Christians *Muslims *Atheist So, tell me how then can be harmony? ### HOW THE DISPUTE IS SETTLED? ![IMG_20211003_162643.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNuVKFeyju8fMQkAScqj99hxBTcq8dnDMPNCLUJwuxPkt/IMG_20211003_162643.jpg) In each of this families mentioned above, their are elder brother's we respected so well and philanthropies amongst us, you know in Africa, money controls, if not because of their positions in the family but because of their influence. Often times, when they intend to speak, everybody and everywhere will be quiet to listen to them. They resolved crisis in the family amicably. ### HOW WE RELATE WITH EACH OTHER AFTER THE DISAGREEMENT? ![IMG_20211003_162643.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNuVKFeyju8fMQkAScqj99hxBTcq8dnDMPNCLUJwuxPkt/IMG_20211003_162643.jpg) You know, when elders and the philanthropies in the family speaks, they always change the narratives, and at the same time makes the environment amusing and conducive as well. ### CONCLUSION Family is the best place to be, and there is no how you will live in a family without family crisis. Any family that does not experience crisis, it certainly needs to be checked and asked why and how? But the must important thing is, when crisis arises, it should be resolved amicably. Thanks to @steemit-family for the contest, I here by wish to invite @lukec, @graceonyi and @chikelly19 to participate in this contest.
