Hehehehe my people, gather here make I report somebody.
My daughter met us this evening with extra ordinary boldness, told us to check our messages .
Next thing, she’s sending a message to me and her father asking for “iPad 11th Gen (A16)”. No “mummy how was work ”, no “how is your spirit today?”, just straight to the point like landlord giving quit notice.
The audacity ehn.
The courage.
The confidence.
The effrontery.
😂😂😂
So I told her, “Nne, come here. Before you inherit what you did not labour for, sit down and write a personal statement.
Explain why you need this luxury in your life right now.
Not tomorrow. Not future tense. Now. And please, ‘because my classmate has it’ is not a reason.
That one is peer pressure wearing designer.”
Where I come from, you don’t just wake up and acquire certain things until your pocket can say ‘I’m ready’.
In our own days, if you even mentioned something like that, your mother will ask you if you’re the one sponsoring your childhood.
As I’m talking to you, madam is carrying face like somebody that borrowed pride from the neighbor.
I just looked at her and said, “Iru Nkem, agaburo oku. Don’t burn my peace with this your technology ambition.”
But let me tell you the truth: this whole thing was a golden teachable moment.
Sometimes these children need to understand value, needs versus wants, and the difference between working for something and stretching hand like federal allocation.
Life is not ‘tap to buy’. You must learn the discipline behind desire.
The whole scene was too funny maka chi, I keep wondering what was going on in her head.
The girl was looking at me like I’m the one standing between her and her destiny.
Let her write the statement first.
We will read it like visa application.
The Spirit does not move Chinwe in this kind of matter.
After 12 hour shift , I’ll invest it in IPad Eekwa. Nne wait when you start earning money, you buy it for yourself.
Umuaka enwero Egwu.
