Aunty Nabou's subtle influence over young Nabou was developed and effected through

Answer Details
Aunty Nabou's subtle influence over young Nabou was developed and effected through family ties. In the novel, Aunty Nabou is the sister of Nabou's father and she takes in Nabou and her mother after Nabou's father takes a second wife. Aunty Nabou becomes a mentor and role model for Nabou, providing her with advice and guidance on how to navigate the challenges of being a young woman in a patriarchal society. Aunty Nabou's influence is not formal education, as she is not a teacher, nor is it oral education, as she does not teach Nabou traditional stories or history. Rather, her influence is based on the strong bond and relationship they share as family members.
