YOU NEED TO READ THIS Will i ever forget yesterday? NO. I sure wont. The words of the young man hit me deep. Heavier than the heaviest blow. Threw me off balance & I have been thinking so loud since. Subtle yet so profound. What a great lesson I learnt today. I learnt TRUTH I will never ever forget. Tunde Odeyemi, my Billionaire Business Merchant Friend said to me. Femi, dont be like my father. Dont be like your father and 80% of fathers who work with the philosophy of mo fe jeun omo {yoruba phrase meaning; I want to eat from my childs income} Instead; Work to create a new philosophy of omo mi ati omo omo mi a jeun mi {meaning; My Children & Grandchidren will enjoy my wealth} Hmmm...So deep for people of insight. He touched my marrow. My spine woke up to reality. Then it dawned on me I have been running my fathers race. Working so hard to buy my father a bentley & my mama a home. What a pity. Too shameful. They should have bought all of these even before my birth. Hey, Dont crucify for me being hard on my parents. I want you to learn. Truth be told, they should have done better. It is NOT supposed to be my responsibility to be paying my kid sisters tuition fee. It is theirs but they Fai**d! Yes they fai**d & I blame them. Maybe you blame yours too? BUT can you pause for a second to relect? Are you SURE you are not making the same mistake? Working HARD like my our parents did & yet couldnt provide for us a RICH Life let alone our kids (their grandchildren) Do you want your kids to BLAME You too? Do you want to jeun omo or you want omo to jeun e? Do you want your kids contributing money to buy you a tokunbo car or you buying your grandson a Bentley on his 18th birthday? Its time to face the truth. Your GrandChildren (FUTURE) is your RESPONSIBILITY. Dont let them hate having you as a Grandparent. The Good book says A GOOD Man leaves inheritance for his childrens children. Prov 13:22 Will you be that GOOD Man?
