Today let's talk about family and men.
Some men spend their strongest years neglecting the very people who needed them most. They ignore their children, mistreat their wives, chase pride, side chicks, pleasure, or ego… and call it “being a man.”
Years pass.
The children grow.
The house becomes quiet.
The same man now sits on a plastic chair in the compound, telling anyone who will listen, “Children of nowadays don’t care about their parents.”
Then society gathers around him with sympathy. “Ah, these children are wicked.”But no one asks what kind of home those children grew up in.
You can’t starve a garden for twenty years and expect fruit in old age.
It’s like a man who refused to water his farm, mocked the soil, kicked the seedlings, and laughed at the rain.
Then harvest season comes, and he stands in an empty field, blaming the crops for not growing food for him.
Respect, love, and loyalty are not automatic. They are investments.
What you sow into your family is what will shade you later in life.
A child who grew up on kindness remembers. A child who grew up on fear also remembers.
So while you still have strength in your legs and authority in your voice, use it wisely.
Sit at the table.
Listen more.
Protect your home.
Speak with respect.
Provide with dignity.
And to be clear—this isn’t encouraging anyone to neglect their parents.
It’s simply pointing out why some of those wounds exist, so men today can choose better and avoid that future.
Because the hands that will one day support you are the same small hands you’re holding—or ignoring—today.
I have said my own.
