When I was a little bit younger I used to love singing, but non of my family members supported me.

My mum would shout at me and throw her slippers anytime I start singing beside her.

Sometimes when my sister is singing and I join my voice to sing along, she would stop and scolded me or she'll even walk out of the room with anger.

Then one day my Dad's friend Uncle Victor came to visit us.

That day it seems they were discussing something very important because I didn't hear their usual loud laugher.

So I walked into the parlour and started singing.

My dad frowned at me, and told me to go to the room and sing, but I refused.

"Uncle victor must hear my voice" I said.

Then my dad stood up and tried chasing me inside, but uncle victor was quick to stop him.

Who wouldn't want to hear my sweet little voice?

At that moment, I guess my dad was really angry and embarrassed by the expression on his face, but somehow he still managed to keep his cool.

While performing my debut album, I walked closer to uncle victor and continued singing.

I was looking straight into his eyes like he was a female fan.

And Uncle victor seems to have understood what my eyes were trying to say to him, so he dipped his hands In his pocket and gave me some money while laughing and shaking his head in a funny manner.

Without even completing my hit track, I ran inside the room with the money to show my siblings the power of music.

Minutes later they ended their discussion and my dad walked him to the road, shook hands and waved him goodbye.

When he returned, he called me to the sitting room and asked me the meaning of the drama I just did.

Ladies and Gentlemen, before I could blink an eye, my dad's belt was already in his hand. What kind of magic is that??!

That day my Dad flocked the upcoming musician in me.

I could see the spirit of Omahlay, Fireboy and Wizkid leaving my soul and I cried for three days straight like the widow in the Bible.

I just remembered and I said I should tell you people.

If I don't make it in this life as an Engineer, I hope y'all know who to hold responsible! ���

Lol, because you can sing doesn't mean you should remain an illiterate.

And because you are an engineer, doesn't mean you can't sing.

The way Nigeria is going, don't put all your eggs in a basket

Post your father's picture here so we'll know exactly who to hold responsible if anything goes south. We don't want to hold the wrong man
