This is really heartbreaking. We need to normalize old people's home or care homes for the elderly. It might surprise you to discover that there are lots more, abandoned and neglected just like this man. The government also has a part to play in helping the elderly in the society.
I saw dis old man in the market driving wheel barrow at his age and tears ๐ญ drop down from my eye๐ญ๐ญ.
I waited for him to go and offload the woman's goods and come back, so I walked to him and I said papa can I ask you a question, he happily replied me yes den we move one side ๐.
Me : papa why are you driving wheel barrow at dis your age that you should be resting?
Papa looked at me and ask my daughter where are you from and I told him, he then said no wonder ๐ค because I'm surprised you asking me dis question.
Me : papa I'm very sorry if my question hรปrts you is just dat I'm feeling for you because in my place by now you should be resting in the village .
Papa : I'm very happy seeing someone dat care for me at least once in life, my daughter I have 5 children, 3 boys 2 girls and my wife is lร tรฉ ever since den my children travelled but non of dem care about me.
Papa : my own children and my only brother chase me out from the house (family house) and called me a wรฎtรงh.
Me : papa why did their call you a wรฎtรงh?
Papa : They say dat a pastor tell dem dat I'm the one dat unalive my wife and I'm going to unalive all the family members soon.
Me : I gave him the little moni dat I had and bought for him food and Pepsi, papa ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ and keep blessing me beyond words.
Papa : said to me my daughter please video me with your phone let me tell the world especially parents to make sure they keep something that they will use and take care of demselves while training children look at me sleeping in the market inside my wheel barrow ๐ญ. I don't know what our children are turning to ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ.
Me : papa no sir that should be next time because I'm running late so dat I will have time ok my daughter bye.
Please share so that his children can see it and rethink now that they father is alive for his blessings.

I have been here since 2020, and I did not say much when it comes to politics or leadership.
But this Tinubu's administration has forced me to deviate sometimes.
It's really bad.
Very very bad.
No sane mind with good conscience should support the APC government.
End.
@BSAT_Properties Well you are kind, I for one wouldn't put myself through that extra stress just to prove myself, by the way I currently run a distance learning program with one of the top universities in Nigeria.

Update: Boko Haram is set to conduct an Islamic Graduation ceremony for over 100 forgotten women and kids who were kidnapped in Woro, Kwara State 4-months ago, where the Emir & Imam rejected Sharia. And, the cost of the ceremony will be added to the bill sent to the Government.
After forcibly converting them to Islam, the terrorists taunted families that they spent the past months teaching all the surviving victims Quran recitation and Islam teachings, and many of the captives have done well, so theyโd be rewarded with graduation ceremonies soon.
But whatever they spend will be added to the ransom demand they will be sending to the Government.
โ Confused family members shared with SaharaReporters.
Back in February this year, Woro community in Kaiama LGA, Kwara North was attacked by a Sadiku-led Boko Haram faction, a Sahel Terror network slowly creeping down southern Nigeria, per Zagazola Makama.
They were angry after the Emir and Imam repeatedly rejected their imposition of Shariah in the community and then reported them to the Nigerian Army.
So they stormed the village on an evening and massacred over 200 people, in a two days operation; Incl. the Emirโs wives and kids, the community Chief Imam, a school principal, a headmistress and several students, and kidnapped 176 people including pregnant women and kids.
This is just one of many forgotten kidnap cases in the country.
Last April, Boko Haram demanded โฆ3.7bn for 400 forgotten women and children they kidnapped in Ngoshe, Borno State months earlier, or theyโd be executed. They then dared the Nigerian Army to come after them, Telegraph reported.

When a man you newly started dating asks you to assist him in washing his clothes or cooking, you carry your fingers and tell him to put a ring on it because you believe thatโs a wifeโs duty, not a girlfriendโs.
But when you eventually get married to him, you no longer see those duties as solely yours because both of you are now โpartnersโ in the marriage.

THE TEETHING THREAD
Every year, babies lose their lives because their parents treated โteething.โ
