For those of you who do not know this person, she is a popular musician, Davido’s fiancée. I was watching the popular TV talk show, the View on TVC and her matter was the topic. When one of the presenters said that she prays that God should not give her this kind of daughter with no sense, I almost laughed. But instead, I put my head down in gloom. So, the story: She met the silver spoon musician at Babcock University.
With all the talent and pedigree, he finished his education and got his degree, she with nothing but looks and empty status of girlfriend to Davido, dropped out so she could be with him. When this happened, I screamed. What kind of decision is this, I asked? Does she not have parents? Is she not under some control at all? But you see, when you are dealing with teenagers, you will realise that it is better to negotiate with a bandit than this set of Nigerians.
So, she dropped out and promptly went to have a child. He promised to marry her, but she has remained a fianceé for years. Now, the relationship is breaking with the man tasting other puddings, and we begin to ask what the recourse is for Chioma? No marital cover, no educational qualifications, what does she fall back on? This is a lesson for those of us who have teenagers. It is only prayers o.
You cannot say you are in control. Their own madness is at another level. I am sure some other parents are facing things worse than this Chioma’s madness. My own tell me the other day – “Joe, please, I do not enjoy having conversations with you, so try not to be talking to me. Me o, that is paying school fees. If I slap now, they will say you, slap woman. I just open mouth dey look am as she leave my room after that declaration. God help us. Our children have all gone mad. Kai.
