In the year 2008, while in the university as a student, a friend narrated to me how her father without the permission of his wife (her mother) and other rest members of her family had sold their home in a comfortable area in Lagos and had bought a land somewhere in a less developed area to put up a structure.

When the mother and other members of the family learnt of their father’s action, it caused a great rift that saw the family splitting up. Everyone took to their mother’s side and the man was left practically lonely. That was the end of a more than 3 decades marriage.

The house he intended building never saw the foundation, he took ill after he was ejected by the new owner of the house and had to live with a friend. Few months later he died from the sickness.

Truth is, if he had been honest enough to come out clean of his intention to sell their home, no one would have agreed with such proposed action and probably he could still be alive today with his family in one piece.
