His Father is an accountant in a big reputable organization in Nigeria, his father is very wealthy.
His Father has three children, two girls and one boy. The boy was 11yrs when he first travelled abroad. His Father used to take his big family abroad on vacation every year and spent alot of millions just for them to catch fun and enjoy life.
The second year when the father was preparing them for vacation in overseas, the boy at the age of 12yrs told his father that he won’t go with them.
Why son? The Dad asked. I don’t feel like going Dad…. The son responded.
Dad!!! How much will it cost for my vacation? N1.4million his Dad answered.
Dad!!! Am not going, open account for me and put the money there.
Why and where did you get this brain from and for what..? Dad asked. Well Dad, when I grow up, am still going to be in abroad as much as I want, so, why going every years when I can still go by my self in future when I have saved more than enough for myself….? The son protested.
Fine!!! Said his Dad.
The third year, the boy refused to go. His money was credited into his account.
The forth year, the same story.
The 5th year, the same story and his Father said, I can’t fix N1.4million in your account this time, the boy told his father, please let’s negotiate, how much will you afford? N500K, his father thundered.
Dad!!! Please Don’t scream at me, give me N750K please…. The Son pleaded. Agreed!!! His Dad nodded off.
After 14yrs that his family has been traveling abroad, a problem aroused in his Father’s Office which made his father went on bankrupt, his father was in desperate need of N5MILLION so solve the problem and secure his seat.
Even his wife couldn’t help…. She is a wife who spent everything on anything.
The two daughters are a spoilt children who can eat anything eatable with any resource available with them. They are BIG for nothing except food.
The father became depressed and frustrated, then, the boy walked to him, Dad, what’s the matter?
The Dad narrated everything to him, and the boy said, Dad, give me your account details, by then, the boy account balance was around N11.6MILLION.
The boy made a transferred of N7MILLION into his Father’s bank account.
The father almost fainted.
The mother, in great confusion questioned the boy where he got all the money from?
The boy simply asked his mom, how many years have you been traveling abroad upandown? The mother said, 14yrs.
Then, the boy said, I safe my own money for traveling abroad for 14yrs.
The mother knelt down and said, OOOH my lovely son.
The Father said, ney, is my own loving son, the blood of my blood.
The mother said, Yes!!! He is your blood but I trained him.
When the boy graduated from the College, his father made all efforts to secure a good Job for him in a well reputable organization.
Train your children to be assets and not liabilities.
We are living in a world now, whereby, children will graduate from University and still depending on their parents for a meal.
Parents!!! Your Children are watching you and 40% of their characters will be what they have learned from you.
I repeat…. Train them in the time of plenty, when the unimaginable scarcity comes, they will be of help to you or at least to themselves.
Train them very well.
