What Will Be Your Priority? by Radiant(op): 1:52pm On Aug 10, 2008
Just a quick question, people.

Your mother has breast cancer and decides to leave Nigeria to come take treatment in the country where you reside and stays with you. You have 2 other siblings (1 is married with a baby and the other is single) who live in a different country.
You've been staying and taking care of your mother for about 2 months.

Then, you have a boy you've been dreaming to meet for about 1 year now. You've been talking to him and all that.

People, will you leave your mother to go visit this dude in another country for 2 months while your brother comes to stay with her for the time you'll be gone? Reason, being that "you need a break from all the stress".

She has cancer, you're a woman, she doesn't want you to go 'cause she wants you around her, she's scared of her illness. Would you turn a deaf ear and a blind eye and still go away for 2 months to meet a boy?

Someone actually did it and doesn't see what's wrong with such action.

I've become the enemy for tellin her it's not proper. What is wrong is wrong as much as people try to twist it.

Of course my Mumsy comes first. The dude can always travel to come pay u a visit to help take away the stress.

What hadiza said. Besides does he not knwo that your mom is dealing with cancer right now? If he does then he can come visit you. Even if you go, I can guarantee you that you will not be 100% there. You will worry about your mom the whole time
