You are a guy, someone asks you what your future ambition is or what you do for a living, and the next thing you say without any iota of guilt or shame is "I AM OR I WANT TO BE A YAHOO BOY." Seriously! My dear, I'm not sorry to say, but YOU ARE COMPLETELY LOST IN A LAND THAT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, AND ONLY YOU CAN SEARCH FOR YOUR LOST SELF AND BRING IT OUT OF THAT MISFORTUNE AND DESTRUCTION IT IS IN. If nobody has told you this, then let me be the first to tell you!
You are a girl, your friends or parents ask you what kind of guy you want to get married to, or what occupation your man or partner does, and the next thing you say without any shame or sensibility is, "I WANT TO GET MARRIED TO A YAHOO GUY SO THAT I CAN LIVE IN A MANSION AND LIVE AN EXTRAVAGANT LIFE OR MY BOYFRIEND IS A YAHOO BOY, AND I LOVE HIM BECAUSE I DON'T LACK ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY MONEY." Seriously!
Oh, so you love him because of his money and flamboyant lifestyle, not even because you know the true meaning of and the magnitude of the word love. Woooow! My dear, I don't know how many people have sugar-coated their words just to suit your ignorance but the fact is that right now, YOU HAVE SOLD YOUR SANITY, DIGNITY, HEART, SELF-RESPECT, AND LIFE'S PURPOSE TO GREED, IGNORANCE, NEGATIVITY, AND AUTOMATIC DESTRUCTION, AND IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THE GRAVITY OF YOUR ACTIONS SOON,
THEN PATHETICALLY ASIDE THE FACT THAT YOU MAY BE DEAD IN THE NEXT MINUTE (THERE'S NO CERTAINTY THAT YOU WILL BE ALIVE IN TWO MINUTES TIME), TOMORROW MAY JUST BE TOO LATE FOR YOU TO REPAIR WHATEVER DAMAGE YOU HAVE DONE TO YOUR BODY OR YOUR LIFE. You are a parent, your child especially the ones below 20 tells you that he/she is going to the club or that his/her girlfriend has invited him/her to a night birthday party,
and without thinking about the consequences of his actions, without reflecting back on what you had to go through during tri-mester or the first 9 months of bringing up your child, without asking yourself "what if my son or daughter dies at the club, what if he/she ends up being raped or taken for granted," and without thinking about what name that child will build for you tomorrow, you ignorantly and irresponsibly gave him/her the permission to go and DO and UNDO.
Woooow! Ma/sir, don't you know that you have just used the rights you have over them as a parent to push them closer to their own destruction and ruin? Don't you know! Nobody may have told you this, or maybe someone has but you failed to heed to advice, but the truth is that tomorrow when the consequences come, that child will blame you, hate you, deny you, and if possible cut all ties with you for abating all it's ignorant and illegal acts,
and for not stopping him/her from living a life that its end is filled with regret and "HAD I KNOWN." If you are such a parent, then the good news is that there's still time to fervently correct all the mistakes you have made and start acting like a responsible and ideal parent, the bad news is that, tomorrow may be too late for any magic or rehabilitation to be done. It's not easy, but it's not impossible either. May God continue to strengthen us and guide us aright. Amen!
