I was in a car wash yesterday when one of this boys said "make I see now" then I said, "if you eventually see it what will you do with it", he said "I will first of all build house for my mother, buy good car for her and open a very big shop for her" I was actually waiting for a why to know whether he will speak further on what he will do with the 100mili but unfortunately he stopped, I then asked, don't you have a father? He said "I have" then I said "won't you make any provision for him" then he said "my father is a man, e dey hustle him own hustle" and the conversation stopped.
I now flashed back through my experience over the last 10yrs that I've been hiring workers on the farm, then I realized that non of the over 200 workers worked with me ever come to asked for money to be sent to their father, not even once, it's always their mother.
Not only that, over 60% of this boys were even sent out by their mother to go and work purposely for the money to be sent to her.
This morning again, a boy that is earning 70k who has already collected 20k for upkeep from the beginning of the month said I should send 40k to his mother out of his remaining 50k.
This is a pandemic to every father, men are on their own.
