No kill me with laugh o! Henhhhhhh!
So first of all, those men who died alone and sick, died because they had no plan for themselves. And a big part of that no plan was that nothing was set aside for their old age.
Second, our Lord himself said Love thy neighbor as thyself! which presupposes that you must first love yourself. Take care of yourself. Do what makes you happy. No one ever said you should kill yourself for anyone. Not even the good book.
Ironically loving yourself also means accepting your limitations. Knowledge is power. When we moved to Lagos, I told my wife find a school that is within a 2km radius of this house so that if the children ever need to, they can walk to and from school. And not above this price range. She screeched. I reminded her that neither her nor myself went to a private school and see where we are today. I’m always amused at the sheer gullibility of some people paying outrageous amounts for what? Will those people transplant a new brain or electromagnetically transfer knowledge. If I tell you where some of my classmates are today you will be shocked. All from a public school.
Thirdly, what I do for my children are the things I have decided to do for my children. No one forces me. I have made the plans long before they were born. Therefore there can be no regrets. I am a man and my children are my heritage and my testament to the world. How on earth would I be expecting them to fend for me at old age? It is my job to provide for that and ensure that all is as best as I can afford.
Fourthly, haba bros, how can you be upset that they have moved abroad? And left you with an empty house to yourself to do as you please? O boy you dey fuck up o! How I wish my wife will agree. Na wa o! I’ve being singing it in my house that I can’t wait for the last child to leave so I can return to walking around naked and smoking inside my house as I please. For over 20 years I have to go outside to smoke and I have to wear cloth. Do you know how much I waste on hotels just to be able to be naked, smoking and drinking while watching old movies and laughing like a hyena?
Lastly, I am very proud to be a father, I abhor celebrations, especially about me, but I am proud to be a father. I look at my wife and my children and I’m bursting with pride. Always. For my children I pray for the best for them. I have taught them the values my father taught me and I have trained them to above all fear God and keep His commandments. I expect them to excel in their lives and I wish them all the best. But they should do and leave my house for me and my wife. And I’m hoping they can tempt their mother along. O boy!! That’s back to my 20s o!! Ojigbigbi!!!
Happy Father’s Day bro 😎
