Good evening, viewers, and welcome to AbilityUnlock TV. Our top story tonight comes from Nigeria, where a local clergyman has publicly shared his dismay over a situation involving a family he once aided.
Reverend Father Emmanuel Ehioma has expressed his disappointment after learning that a mother of five, whose hospital expenses he covered following a childbirth just a year ago, is now expecting again.
In a post that has garnered significant attention on Facebook, Father Ehioma recounted his past generosity, stating, "Last year January, there was a woman I helped to pay her bills after child delivery – I saw her 3 days ago heavily pregnant. I'm waiting."
The priest's candid remarks online prompted a response from a follower, who questioned whether he expected the woman to cease having children. In his reply, Father Ehioma articulated his broader concerns about what he sees as a dependency on external assistance to manage the outcomes of personal choices.
He elaborated, writing, "That's what we are talking about here. Relying on others' sweat to ALWAYS clean up your mess. Just look at this mentality, just look at it. A lady who gave birth to her 5th child last year January is already pregnant again this year, and her husband is a security guard somewhere with a very low salary."
Father Ehioma further lamented what he described as a lack of sensible guidance for the family, noting, "Instead of you to advise such a person to take it easy since the resources are no longer around, but you are there encouraging her to keep giving birth since 'helpers ná water'. It is well o."
This unfolding situation has sparked considerable debate across Nigeria regarding issues of family planning, individual financial responsibility, and the crucial role of community support systems.
