FAMILIES TODAY:
FATHER: Absent or weak and effeminate. He can't correct children's misbehaviour. He fears his wife. Coward. He tolerates defiance from children.
MOTHER: She is disobedient and rude. Disrespects FATHER in front of children. Loud-mouthed. She can't cook or clean the house. Lacks grace. Lazy.
CHILDREN: Defiant. Talk back at parents. Shout at adults. Throw tantrums when they won't get what they want. Uncouth language.
At the dinner table: They are all on phones scrolling. No intimate conversations. Children eat from their bedrooms, FATHER on the couch watching TV, mother in the kitchen scrolling TikTok.
PARENTS denigrate teachers.
"That teacher is always broke. He stinks. His wife is poor."
"If that teacher tells you to re-do this assignment, tell me. He will know who I am."
How then do you expect the children to be obedient and respectful to teachers and the school?
Children are echoing our manners.
If your father or mother is above 67, please pause and read this slowly.
At that age, life begins to feel different for them. The world moves faster, but their bodies move slower. The things they once did effortlessly now require effort. Their strength is not what it used to be, and even if they don’t say it, they feel it.
What they need now is not pressure. Not stress. Not arguments about money or past mistakes. They need stability. They need reassurance. They need to feel safe.
If they have savings, protect it. This is not the stage for risky investments or “let’s try this opportunity.” It is the stage for preservation. Capital safety matters more than high returns. Peace of mind matters more than profit.
If they depend on you financially, don’t see it as a burden. See it as a privilege. The same hands that once carried you are now weaker. The same voices that defended you now speak softer. Support them with dignity, not pity.
And beyond money, give them something deeper.
Call them without being in a hurry.
Sit with them without checking your phone every two minutes.
Let them repeat stories you’ve heard before. One day, you will wish to hear those stories again.
At 67 and above, what they truly fear is not death. It is loneliness. It is feeling forgotten.
Take care of their health. Help them organize their documents. Make sure they are not being financially manipulated. Protect them from stress. But most importantly, protect their heart.
Because one day, the chair they sit on will be empty.
And no amount of money will buy back one more conversation.

Men,
Don't be preoccupied with city life.
At the end of it all, city life is a hollow, empty life.
Build your rural home.
Do whatever it takes to own:
- a rural home,
- an arable farm,
- livestock,
- Indigenous trees.

Men,
Finally,
Don't sell your father's land,
That land is NOT your father's land,
It belongs to your bloodline.
If you sell it, you will curse your children forever.
"Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors."
~ Proverbs 22:28
