He started working at the age of 23 years as a teacher and he worked for 15 years before he got married yet he couldn't save enough or plan for his future children.
He served the government for 35 years yet no single achievement after his retirement.
No house, no car, no single property he inherited from his late father.
In fact nothing to write home about him.
His kids does not even know most of his family members and does not care about his kids.
He didn't train his kids in the higher institution.
The kids managed to scale through university with the help of the people.

. Such isn't worth being called a father!

You can bring your father before the world to say all sorts of things but be very careful not to make the same mistake as your father.

For me, my father may not have done so well as grossly expected but I have decided to change the narrative. Where he could not go I have been. What he could not achieve I will achieve and I have set my kids on the pedestal of greatness.

Let go of your father's mistakes and move on.

Goodluck!

Op are u blaming the man now? & Insult him?

If it were to be a sane country, the guy would have been well off.

In naija now if u are not crony or family or associate of politicians nothing for u.

U think it is easy to teach for 35 years? Okay u wanna blame him for bringing children into the world when he doesn't earn much.

Stop this blame game now and focus on yourself, there is a lot of work to be done especially if one is not born with any spoon, they are not supposed to be pressing phone, instead they are supposed to be huzzling until they make it.

Ask your mother her contribution to the family, Nigeria women are but curses to Nigerian men. Our men are going through several damages in the name of marriage, imagine who've worked for 35 years, your mom isn't it her own part to wive to the man and be a strength to the man's shortcoming?

Sale family land keep the one una go use bury am and establish sth

Thanks for sharing, @op learn!

My brother I can't just say anything without you telling us the full gist. Tell us about his personality, character or something, that will lead us to the root of his misfortune.

I am a civil servant and we are learning from retired civil servant...


You can't blame your father... He literally used his salaries to pay for house rents for you to have a place to sleep... He also used his salaries to bring food for you to feed and stay alive .. He also used his salaries to buy himself and his wife and you and your other siblings clothes..


How much is his salary? Did you find out?

If you feel your father failed you.... You shouldn't fail yourself... Do better and see how you fare not to fail your own kids when you begin to birth them.

You can complain all you want but it's just an excuse.

The fact that he couldn't live the live you hoped he had should be enough motivation for you to do everything possible to avoid it.

Start taking responsibility for your own life.
