Nigerian lady narrated how her single father raised them after their mother left them at a young age


She wrote,

"My mum left us when we could barely crawl talk more of walking, I was 1, my elder brother was 2 going to 3 and my younger sister was 7days, this man left his well-paying job to babysit us and he hasn't stopped even after 24years. He will tell us when we were little.


That he can only re-marry when we are settled and now he has an engineer as a son, a health professional and a recent Bsc holder as daughters. When things were a bit tough on us we never knew cos he made sure we weren't hungry or without clothes or shoes. He bore every pain.


Sometime last year, I faced a lot of difficulties, I almost felt alone I decided to hear from my dad and what he said was: "why will you be sad for even a day, you have a father that loves you, some people aren't that privileged".



At my old age Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat this man still buys me clothes and shoes, calls me not less than 3 times in a day, let me just tell him I have a slight headache. Opera, the phone will ring non-stop throughout that day till he's sure I'm alrightSmiling face with smiling eyes.

Whenever he calls and my number is on another call, he will always want to know who that person is, if its a guy he wants to know every detail most times I cut him off by saying this guy isn't my bf or isn't for marriage he's just my friend Smirking face


Whenever I go visiting him, a pot of soup and stew awaits me with lots of fish and meat, he makes sure he does all the cooking even when I insist he will always hang around giving instructions as if I don't cook for myself... He's that lovely heart


When I was little & on holidays, my dad would wake up early to start sweeping d compound, doing dishes & all and when a neighbor tries to ask why I'm busy sleeping he gives them the award-winning excuse of "my daughter has been stressed during the school period so shes resting"
