11 Things You Must Know Before Your Parents Clock 50 by daewoorazer(m): 7:13pm On Dec 02, 2016
In a world where the average lifespan of humans has reduced drastically, it is important we have a thorough review on this topic.

May our parents live long to eat the fruits of their labour, but no mater how hard we try, no one can escape the sting of death, it must surely come and before it does arrive, some pertinent knowledge should be known. These are discussed below:

1. Age/DOB: Some parents are fond of keeping this particular information secret so the children won’t have an idea the distance between both ages (parent's and child's). This is particularly unbecoming. Parents are meant to be open particularly on this, what if the children needs to apply for a government job or visa and this is asked?

2. A list of all their properties: some stingy dads or mums have investments outside the knowledge of the family, this is mostly rampant when spouses no longer trust each other (e.g. a scenario where the man finds his wife to be very demanding, he keeps his investments a secret so she’d buy the idea “As you can see, I nefa kolet salary, where do you want me to see money??”)

3. Debtors: as weird as this may sound, parents should keep their children aware of every singular individual/Coy owing them money/properties/assets. If you don’t know, many have been poisoned/assasinated when debtors realized they won’t be able to pay up their debts; fully knowing it’s a secret between them and the creditor. Even you imagine, our flesh won’t just help but dish out such sordid thoughts, that’s the power of money!

4. Will: I don’t have much to say on this, but if you love your kids especially the polygamous fathers, make hay while the sun shines abegyy.
Note: I'm not asking you to collect this from your parents ooo, but at least mandate their lawyers to plan it with them.

5. Retirement packages: it is but no news that every level in the government strata is corrupt, I have seen old colleagues gang up to share the entitlements of the deceased since the immediate family is fully unaware of such. Ask of the information regarding this immediately!

6. Medical History: this I will explain with an analogy: If you realize your parent(s) have record of such diseases as diabetes, cancer etc., kindly desist from its causative agents ASAP. If your father battled diabetes until age 78 and still counting, yet you gulp down COKE at every birthday parties, you are OYO!!!
NOTE: at least ask of the medical history of theirs and 2 generations before theirs.

7. A list of all extended family members: actually this sounds funny but true; I actually included this to promote our fading culture. Some family friends today are closer than first cousins. I won’t even go far, right now you know the names of your course mates by heart but you don’t know the first names of your dad’s siblings. Imagine that!

8. Biography: a true fact no man dares to challenge is that no matter how long our parents live, they must surely leave us some day and when that day comes, I bet you don’t wanna start asking of their biography from extended family members. Personally ask them to write it for you, in their own handwriting.

9. Family Titles: although this may not be necessary but some are princes today and they don’t even have the slightest idea.

10. Your Root: Don’t think low of yourself, you may become the president tomorrow; imagine some so called “butty” have never been to the village their ancestors sprouted from. Not to even go that way, you may be stinkingly rich tomorrow and wanna remember your roots by building schools, hospitals, when that time comes, don’t tell me you’d search for that via google map!!!

11. Add yourz!!!

You should prepare a will once you have a child. Doesn't matter what age you are or if you don't have a lot of assets.

Nice list!

I have been hiding my age and will from my children so that they will not relegate me to six feet before my time but I think it's about that time I sit them down and open up

Pls @OP, sugar doesnt bring about diabetes. rather diabetes is caused by the deficiency of insulin, a hormone that regulates sugar uptake by cells.
tho it could be hereditary.





Anyways, your points nailed it.





but what about i dat lost my dad wen i was 11?

Another thing is.
Most children are scared to see there parent die
But you can't escape it
It is natural
The bitter truth is our parent will leave the world for us while we will do same to our children

Live a good and truthful life
Death is natural
