Father's Burden, mistaking for Fathers day .. Mkpisi.
Heavy torrential rain came calling from 3 Am in Lagos till morning ,just to blur the cerebration of Father's who manages to have a day dedicated to them ,called Father's doom ,sorry father's day celebration.
Father's labour for the wive and Children,he rarely changes his Boxers whereas the family thrives on Monthly new garments.
Father's always eat Cat rejected food ,so he can save money for the family,but ..
Do families remember fathers Birthday? How many of them does ?
Do they remember Fathers day ? Rather they can Mark mothers day and children's day,they think father's bu Ndi awataru na nkú (Father's are produce from Woods somebody hewed ).
Father's prayer points this year is "God may our son ,or those we call son which may be or not our biological ,do not end us with Knife or Daga" .
We no longer hunger after our children taking care of us ,but we simply pray ,may our Children don't kpai us,what a devastating situation?. While mothers pray for the Children to take care of them ,we pray for them to spare us .
Father's as we move out to go and pay lip solution to Father's day ,when even the foods for the day shall be hung on our neck,and even families will be in expectation lullaby,may we gather the strength to match on .
Son's if you like ,wish your father well or forget it ,just know na Ógódó ga erú Nwoke , ebe oruru ibe ya (Man must see what Men saw).
Daughters, you see that father you think is very strong? They count on you as the Love expected from Wife and sons are eluded. Hoping you won't gharipu fa (Disappoint them).
Wives,you may think ,your money is your money and his money is for the family, whenever he packs up ,you will understand the wickedness and hostileness of the world ,even though a man is broken,he still form a shield around his wife ,but stress him to death and you will understand that even your best of friends means well to you when you are married,but as a single mother or widow,you survive by sleeping with other women's husband instead of yours ,as no single Man will marry a woman with children of another man ,unless iji ógwú or the man bu oseaka (if he does,then Charm is involved or the Man is TUFIAKWA by birth).
Having said the above ,let me piachasia Ekpere na Abu and start heading to Service with sparkling White and white ,as if all is well .
Ndi Nna ,happy father's day ,even if our families and friends did not wish us,just know na Eze akwani hó gi,ikwanie onwe gi (If a king refuses to uplift you,just uplift self ) ,even agama Lizard fail from height and say ,if nobody give him praise for his survival fall ,that he will praise self .
I am Mkpisi Ndi Egede and writing with Precision has become a habit,as Dibia ónu ike,I say things you may not like ,as Ógba Ntutukó,I divine just for posterity and never to make you feel alright.
