Renowned Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Chief Dele Momodu visited his father's rented house at Oke - Ijan Street in the ancient town of Ile-Ife, Osun State, where he lived when he was 9yrs old showcasing his humble background.

Though from Edo State, Dele Momodu never stopped associating himself with Ile-Ife, as he had all his Education in that Yorùbá town; including his University Education at Obafemi Awolowo University with a B.A in Yorùbá Language & M.A English, as well as his NYSC.

Sometimes we grow up in a town away from our hometown and it feels like a second too. Ile-Ife is also the town where late Tell Magazine Journalist, Dele-Giwa also had his childhood life.

I grew up here in the 1960s and early 70s... Memories flooded back as I recollected those beautiful days despite our relative poverty. I was surprised to see the pipe borne machine from which we fetched water over 50 years ago still standing proudly but without water... God.

Rented house. Not father's house. His father died way back and his family are well to do now.

It is not a humble beginning to live in that kind of house those days. Infact, you had a rich beginning.

You are smart; those houses were the flats of the 50s and 60s.

He should use his money to renovate someone else's property so that they would accuse him of trying to convert the property to his own. You lack wisdom.

your father lacks wisdom.

And so if it is a rented house? Can't you do it in honour of him even if others will use it? Shallow brain

Since you inherited stupidity from both parents and both dundeheads couldn't come together to educate you properly, let me do for you what your parents couldn't do.
If your father ever built a house, you would have known that the laws governing tenancies do not encourage renovations without the approval of the owner. You can't unilaterally renovate someone else's property, you can be sued for the tort of conversion or even arrested for malicious damage.
