Love800:
Wow.
Sorry for replying so late.

Okay. You were suffering from a sickness different from the ear problem. And after attending different hospitals to cure you of that particular sickness, it didn't but instead turned you into deaf. Am i correct?

Are you a 'synthetic medicine man'?

...that you came out to open closed wounds?

Love800:
But can you still hear sounds, even if its not clear?

What happened in the case of you having ear problem. It was from birth?

Long story cut short.... If only I had the power and knowledge to sue, I would have held a big case against the pharmaceutical industry and against the federal government and doctors and nurses! But I can't, because I knew not how to. So, I left it to TIME, TIME is the best judge.

I went deaf after I left several hospitals, after two years of life treathening shock. I was just in my third week in Has 1 then, when destiny struck. I bowed to it and let it's will come through.

samuelson06:
You are concerned about your old parents and that's understandable, but at this stage your life matters more than those of your old parents. Anyway, forget about that. In fact, don't leave. Now, look at your community, what business can you do? Can't you get a mini bus to drive to&fro the village to the city?

Your last sentence made me cough and I laughed in ire sound.
Thankyou...
Am a tailor, am a teacher of little brains and am an agriculturist.

Love800:
Are you deaf?

Inhale... Yes, I am. Am happy and am blessed because my deformity brings me away from what disturbs those who had hears to ear🤣
My deformity keeps me at peace within my self.

samuelson06:
Are you serious at all? How are all your concerns been helping you rise above poverty? I'll advise you leave the place, but it appears you are so attached to your land.

Am not attached to anything... Wherever am called I go-to. But, problems and non conformity to the life of outsiders always brings me back home.

Does, what of if I should live some distance away and look after the family home and old parents from some few metres away?

Ilekokonit:
Case in point Aliko Dangote.

You are phantasozing, child, calam down.

Aliko Dangote is not the first child nor the first male nor the only child, nor a child that frets for his benign parents.

Be calaming down🤣😂🤣. Aliko Dangote might be going and coming back home. With servants at his ilt and call and beck, (who will not yarn to get in his shoes who say, "protect" and it's done) he can protect his parents on many forms we do yarn for.

Just.... Protect your parents in the least way you can, been bearvto their even silent calls🙏🏿

IyaTola:
You're absolutely right in pointing out the growing disconnect between aging parents and their adult children in many parts of Africa today. It's heartbreaking and, frankly, troubling. Parents pour their time, energy, and resources into raising their children—often under extremely difficult conditions. When those children finally "make it," it shouldn't be seen as a burden to keep their parents close, but as a natural and noble continuation of the family bond.

In many Western or Eastern societies (Europe, America, China), multi-generational living is not frowned upon. In fact, it's quite common for elderly parents to live with their children or very close by, and their welfare is considered a shared responsibility, not just a personal choice.

But here, we've somehow equated independence with emotional distance, and we’ve bought into the idea that the height of success is moving away—not just physically, but relationally. That’s not progress; it’s a loss of values.

You’re also right about the emotional toll of loneliness in old age. It’s silent, painful, and cruel. And it’s avoidable—if only we choose empathy over ego. Staying with or caring for aged parents isn’t just about convenience or duty; it’s about preserving dignity, love, and the human spirit.

On the point about wealth and old age: yes, money gives options. Many wealthy men (or families in general) do end up having younger children later in life—not necessarily just to "keep the house running" but to maintain a sense of family and continuity. But for those who cannot or do not do that, the real wealth is in the children they already raised. If those children turn away, what's left?

To summarize your sentiment in support:

-It's not weakness to stay with one's parents—it's strength, maturity, and compassion.

-Modern success should include the ability to care for those who once cared for us, not just financial independence.

-African societies must rethink the way they view aging, dependency, and family roles.

-And yes, a man or woman should aspire to build wealth, not just for personal comfort, but to preserve the human connections that matter most when time begins to run out.

Whom ever you are, I bless you...
Thankyou for putting a pay to my heart's inquisity....

Though that there is no helper or whatever it's called in religious circle, our destinies are differing. Our sufferings and joy and aging and entire predestination. So if I can't do it now, life shall wait for me, just that sane life which is in all those around me. For when am down, another is up, when am up, another is down.

We are shadows and life helping each other as we breath on in existence.

Blessed be you🙏🏿

SultanOfPuna:
ok thanks for the input. We have found a nanny but due to an incident that happened to one of our family friend.
The said woman employ nanny to take care of house and the nanny ended up poisoning the woman and her son. Then took a bag of money the woman kept in her room and ran away.

So they are really paranoid of any nanny taking care of them.
They prefer a family member or relation they can trust.
Currently none of our relatives are available to help out and majority of them are abroad🤷

A relation can take care of mine.... But, I can't live all behind. Sorry, a woman can, but am not a woman.

Am a male. Am the first born!

So...., I should stay behind?

Am a male...

Just as you are... (She who first wrote this topic...)

You will say I should go away to build up my own family? I laughed I'm sadness.

No wife...

No girl friend ever.

Deaf, a teacher of a local secondary school institute, a tailor...
No child!

My peanuts rise and fall...
At the sight of a 'boobs' or 'large backyard' and passing 'front-art', my pestle do rise to prominence but been short of words, I goof seeing girls going and coming, because I cannot speak up, they left and my large groundnut and two tiny balls fell flat back to my sòkóto😢😢😢

@40, I still reside with my parents. With my growing fruit trees in my family vineyard, my crops in the garden year in and out, my properties around the house... Can I live all these behind and leave them with a relation?
No...
No...
No....

I think I should stay behind. I should take charge of whatever lays ahead. I should not going to live in a strangeland or a land where I do not belong; am taking charge of my heritage, using it the best way I can.

I have siblings, but all of them live far away, married with children...

You may say, "you are wrong", am thinking that am wrong; but how can I live my fruit trees and garden of natural foods behind and go to a place where I will have to buy with money those things I had at home for free?

SultanOfPuna:
I have lived alone in apartment from 2019 to 2023
Due to financial struggles i relocated to my parents house 2023 since then i'm still with them

Now its 2 years and i have gotten financially stable and solid.
I want to leave but my parents are old and they want me to be around them at this stage of their life.


My parents are really old
My siblings are all married except me. My siblings are in different states far away from my parents.
I'm the only one closer to them

I'm the one taking care of the house and making sure things are in order.
But deep down i want to leave the house and go create my own family.

If i leave them and move out i fear that things will be out of order and disorganised due to old age.
Unfortunately no younger sibling to help look after them.

What should i do?

Just as you are...

Maryam1234:
Guess what!! While shopping for one of my online client in the market today I came accross Fonio(Acha) it's been ages I eat it last.And this one is stone free.below are some of the benefits of Fonio,Acha, Hungry Rice,Or World super grain as fondly called.

Acha (Fonio) scientifically known as Digitaria exilis is a neglected superfood that has grown in West Africa for over 5000 years.

It is a tiny grass-plant belonging to the Gramineae family and is one of the world’s oldest best cereal.

This wonder grain also commonly called hungry rice, petit mil, fundi grain, and fonio rice, is high in protein, fiber, and carbohydrates.

Acha (Fonio) contains 7- 9% crude protein. Its protein is high in methionine and cysteine, two important amino acids almost deficient in wheat, rice, barley, and rye.

Fonio has also been shown to contain almost twice as much methionine as that found in an egg. So it’s a highly nutritious grain.In Nigeria it's highly cultivated in the Plateau due to the vegetation and in Kaduna South as well. I can help you get it, trust me.Below is the picture of Fonio from my gallery.

Where can I get this produce?

Go and look for a tailoring thread if that's your line and stop trying to educate someone else how to make use of his resources pls.

Thank you

If you were a rich kid, just this way I may have silent you. You will go open mouthed tfat how on Earth can a man who have nothing speak to you who have everything. But it's not so.
Brother, be calming down. Read and go. Read shdcsnile and move on. I wrote that I may add sand to a dieing sea of water🙏🏿

Or are you shouting me down like the people who told the fictitious beggar to keep silent when Jesus was passing him? "Jesus have mercy on me...." Will you tell him to keep quiet too?

You just did it🤣

Brother, I speak of tailoring, because outside foreign exchange there are many things into which he can invest.

Please, my peace🙏🏿

There is hardly anything you eat now that's not GMO.

The banana in your backyard.
The maize in your farms
Anything you can think of; they've all been modified to give better yield or produce faster.
But they apparently do not come without side effects sometimes.

This cancerous thing call GMO....

For whom did he brought unnatural drops for? For what reasons did he want is a out of existence just after 50yeara only?

Why did he create bienial crops that instead of 2years are growing in 6 months! Or Annual crops that instead of 4-6montgs are growing just 30days? Or permanent fruit crops that instead of seeding in 5-12years are seeding in just few months less than 12?

We are in trouble because man must wack and those who wack naturals (didn't know that they are unnatural) eats poisons unknown!

We are done, only if our gene can undo the thing which this molesting wicked people have done to humanity😢

Tears of ages!

Wh eh eh eh eh... You have a loom mate? Ya say?

Do not allow ya loom mate who is so dear to you to become a debil who will make you lipe become yeye!

To be warned is to be told. You are preparing hot water that will pour on ya body.

You even cohabitate with a special person? Wonderpul thing!

Stay away from your urge for such exurbitant loan! Your loom mate will bring you down!

Nnaemiemax:
The interest rate is too high and could strain your finances if you don’t have consistent monthly cash flow to service the loan.

Consider negotiating a 6-month repayment plan for a smaller loan amount to ease the payment burden and reduce the risk of a cash crunch. Alternatively, take a lower loan say ₦300k, and cover the remaining 200k through personal equity.

You have an ekonomik mentality. Oil dey ya head.

But the slavery to stardom is halfed. It's still besmirk with sweating for another person

What a world, were, after knowing that you will rail, cause and abuse a defaulter, you cannot even put a small interest on a loan but you double the loan with excess interest? Why?
