I am not asking for pity.. I just want to rant.. this is my happy place

started this journey in January.. stopped updating the thread because I wasn't at Ibadan.. I just ask about their wellbeing on the phone and send money home..

I started with 2500 fingerlings..

Here is the thread I launched immediately I began but I bought the fingerlings around May.

An incident happened 2 weeks ago at Ibadan (https://www.nairaland.com/7775617/residents-stranded-heavy-downpour-cuts/3#124621775), and when I saw the news on NL fp, I quickly hit my mom and asked if she was okay.. I asked about the fishes too and she gave a deep sigh before saying yes but I didn't read any deep meaning to it..

My mom who cares for them didn't call me to remind me about their feeds money which was strange and when I finally remembered, she said they were okay and she insisted she wanted to come to Lagos to spend a few days because she "needed rest"..

I asked who was going to take Care of 'my boys' as I always referred to them but she shrugged it off and relunctantly mentioned Kehinde, a 12 year old girl that lives with her. I protested that the girl was too young to live alone for days nevertheless take care of 2500 catfishes on her own but she again played the emotional card of 'if a mother isn't free to rest at her son's house' and I had no choice but to just cave in..


I had no clue.. no fvckin clue in h3ll..

She came, spent a night with me, and asked that I take her to her younger sister's house at Iyana-Ipaja.. We got there and we had barely set foot inside there when she burst into tears and her sister broke the news to me..

I was dumb for several minutes.. I shed hot steamy tears.. Yes, men cry..

This happened yesterday though.. I want to believe I have gotten over it..

This is a natural disaster and I have counted my losses.. but if anyone says I am lazy, I am glad I won't have to explain explain tire, I am trying and evidence dey!

I hope those who will finally eat my boys will eat it well knowing they ate my investment and my sweat free of charge..

We what?? we meeeeuuvee!!

Eiya sorry, I'm sure luminouz knows where those fishes are. Ask him. God will replenish all you've lost in no distant time amen.

It is a pity. But be glad no human life was lost.

Sorry for your losses, somedays are like that.
