Take your time to read this and deduce your judgement.
I was speaking with one of my friends, and I asked him a very important question, โwho do you think loves you more between your father and your mother?โ Without hesitation, he said his mom.
I asked why?? Heโs kept on giving me reasons and one that stood out for me is when he said he grew up watching his dad beat his mom.
I then gave him an assignment. I told him to travel to the village to go visit his dad without his mom knowing cos the dad and mom donโt live together. I told him to go with a drink and spend at least a week with his dad, just tell him you came to spend time with him. And I told him heโs gonna hear things from his father even without asking.
He travelled later on and did as I instructed. His dad was so surprised home came to visit him, and on the second day, the man started spilling!
His father asked him a very important question, โ I always knew you teammates me for always shouting your mum when you were growing up, but have you ever bothered to ask why?โ
His dad then went on to tell him the main reason and actually took responsibility for his actions. He told him that his mum was a serial cheat, she had different sexual partners and actually gave him some infections while they were living together. He told my guy the reason he couldnโt let her go was because he loved her so much and was way too weak to even think of leaving her, so he just started enduring but the resentment he had for his wife never left him even though he loved her, as a result, he started beating her at the slightest provocation. He told my friend he couldnโt forgive her for those things and the best way to express himself was to always beat her. But along the line, after so many years, he just eventually accepted his fate and let her go.
He asked my friend to forgive him, that he never intended for him to see him in such a light but his weakness blinded him. He went further to advise my friend to ensure he never ends up with a woman like his mother.
My friend spent a week with his dad before returning to Lagos and he had a time of his life.
Now the problem is, heโs not spoken to his mom ever since then, in his own words โbro, I no fit see my mama the same way againโ. As a matter of fact, Iโve been the one begging him to try to make peace with everything heโs known and try to call his mom but he just canโt.
Now to the crux of the matter, everybodyโs mum is the eat thing thatโs happened after slice bread. In fact, they can do no wrong, thatโs how it always seems.
Women arenโt good people by every metric. Men are by far better people than them but on the problem men have is always trying to protect the same women who wouldnโt spare a thought before doing men dirty.
This is not a post to make you see women as devils, but rather to open our eyes to what and who women truly are. We all have babes or random girls in our lives and see the way they move, that should tell us everything we ought to know.
This is 2026, if you still think women are angels who can do no wrong. Iโve got nothing to say to you other than, if you refuse to learn from the experience of others with women, others will learn from your own experience when the same women start showing you who they are.
Now, If you were this my guy, will you ever forgive your mum?? Can you ever see her the same way again??
"I did my job to the best of my ability. I am just thankful to God. It's been a very, very arduous and long, almost 11-year journey. It has been traumatic, not just for me, but for my family, my friends, and all those who have stayed and supported me. For my 93-year-old mother in Port Harcourt, for my son, and for all those who love us, it has been a hard journey. But I tell you this: God will always do as God wills, and God will be God." โ Diezani Alison-Madueke, reacting to the UK court judgment exonerating her of bribery charges
