Stop robbing the child to pay the parent

By


In Nigeria , children become parents to their parents and younger siblings.

Children are robbed of their childhood and forced into adulthood before they are even ready.

I don't want to mention tribes because it cuts across all tribes
 
It's pathetic. 

Children are expected to care and be loyal to their parents, even the ones that abandoned and neglected them when they were little, exposing them to all manner of danger and evil out there in the world!

But speak up against this vile useless culture, and average thinking, culture sucking, religion wanking halfwits will come for you with their BS about how you are supposed to die for your parents because they gave you life 

Newsflash!!! 

They didn't give you life, God did.

Besides, you didn't even ask to be born so what's with this undying loyalty to a piece of garbage that didn't do their duty in taking care of you.

Parents may be their Children's heroes but bad parents are misfits to the society 

Just two people who nacked and gave birth 

Nothing special about this

It's one of the reasons why Africa is so under developed. Poverty is being continuously transferred from generation to generation.

While the rich leave an inheritance to their children and their children's children 

Poverty is transferred and inherited among the poor

Putting unnecessary pressure on little kids who just wanna play with toy guns until finally they break and start carrying the real guns to shoulder the responsibility their irresponsible parents dropped on their fragile shoulders 

Ironically, the poor man's greatest hobby is sex. They just believe in fucking and giving birth to children like rabbits without any plan, purpose or even vision.

Poor parents birth poor children, hoping and praying that the child they couldn't send to a good school, raise in a good environment or train well, will one day, grow up and become The President, Governor or  MD of Shell 

I was with a friend one day, when his poor cousin with 4 children, pregnant for the 5th one called and asked him for help, we went together to visit her,  buying beverages and clothes for the kids.

After a while, she began telling us the professions of each of her 4 kids..."This one go be Doctor, any time person sick for house, she dey take care of them, this one go be engineer, he dey like to open all the electronics for house, this one na Banker, he too like money,  this one na Lawyer, she too like to argue then this one for my belle na footballer, he can kick eh, of all my children wey I carry, na him kick pass. Na Ronaldo he go be, so he go play for Arsenal."

Responsible parents work hard and smart, hustling and monetizing their ideas to give their kids the best life...

Irresponsible parents are praying and fasting that one fo their 10 kids will become the first female President or CEO of one new generation bank and bring them out of their poverty 

How? 

No baba God go do am. 

Let's share the grace

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

Solomon's Lair!

By
Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

Riotous Love

By
I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
