African Fathers with Poetry

This are dangerous times, the population of the world is dangerously on the increase, and this is coming mostly from African countries.

Unfortunately the weather is not really helping matters, more so, we are just coming from holiday season, and most men have refused to resume back to work. Come to think of it, here in Africa, specifically in Nigeria, school fees is a serious burden on most Nigerian Fathers and the monthly wages they get isn't so much though, no increments is added, yet they work effortlessly.

School fees is not the only burden here, food stuffs is another issue in the house, your kids and that woman you call your wife will team up against you, giving you attitudes, disgusting winks, deadly gestures especially when you're not able to get enough to fund for the house, your own house turns out to be a living hell for you, you no longer feel comfortable in your house.

Most Nigerian fathers have fixed their budget for the whole month, and after they receive their salary and separate it into segments for the house, nothing is left for the rest of the month, not even a single dime to get the personal things they need.

Am sorry to say this right now, because am typing this with pain; my opinion though, December is an unfortunate month, its the time you spend most in the year, the time death rate pops up more every where in the world, the time you loose even more, the time when you're not really happy because of unreasonable and inevitable expenses that's out of budget, yet you pretend to be happy forcing a smile on your face on 25th till new year is out.

 After Christmas and new year is gone, January becomes even more disturbing because of the regular expense that should take place in the month, that has already been exhausted in the month before.

This situation affects fathers more than any other person, especially in African countries, where people like to emulate their friends and end up swimming in debts, because of unwisely budgeted expenses.

My advice to men generally, particularly African fathers;
+Fathers in Africa
+ignore the weather
+put yourself together
+try to stay clever
+especially in December;
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
+watch your expense
+don't spend without essence
+especially when you don't have excess
+so you don't get jailed because of a mere debt;
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
+life is very unfair
+she wouldn't appear to you so clear
+she's far away but will act like she's near
+she seems enjoyable but will make you end up with fear;
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
+talk less and learn more
+work harder in Africa and be sure to earn more
+instead of duping, better be a vendor
+be wise, follow the path of your mentor;
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Most importantly involve God in every of your endeavour.
