There is this family that lives down my street, they are a good Christian family. Though they are going through some hard financial times but they are good people.
Last week I got a call from their mother and she asked me to come over if I wasn't busy.
A few minutes later I was in their house, and the mother reported the first daughter to me that she has been insulting her.
The girl was right there and she denied it, then the mom repeated everything the girl said let me quote some "if you don't give me the xyz Money when I get into school bet me I will do runs, I will this and that" and so on.
And she just kept on blabbering.
I asked her why she said that and she replied.
GIRL: Aunty I have been telling them to give me money for school and they have been saying nothing since, I have told them if they don't, when i get into school I will follow men to take care of my self, I will.....
At this point I got so angry and dared her.
IYA BEJI : You want to follow men? You want to do runs, go head who is begging you not to?
You don't have to wait till you enter school now, yahoo boys abound just start now. Start your runs, let's see if before the end of this year you won't have HIV.
HIV own sef is far, if Yahoo plus guys don't use your destiny for money or them no use you do ritual then no be my mama born me.
I was very angry, how dare she threaten her mum like that, na so I begin dey double dare her.
When I was done they were both stunned. I left her with this " it never ends well when a good girl goes bad"
The mom wasn't so happy with what I said, I wasn't either. I didn't think twice before speaking, I'm thinking I should call the girl again and talk to her.
But seriously I don't have any advice for her, all I can think of is yahoo boys waiting to pounce on her.
Did I say the right thing?What should I have said?
you said it too well.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't say anything wrong and if she likes she should not listen. She will learn d hard way. Abeg I get party to attend.
ReplyDeleteYour way of approach might even be what she needs to change for the better. Some people dont need soft hand. But you harsh small sha.
ReplyDeleteIyabeji in my own opinion you did right. That should give her a scare if she has conscience
ReplyDeleteLol, a typical case of kilagbe kileju!!
ReplyDeleteGive her the moni now!
ReplyDeleteGive her the money so she will think it's right to always use threats to get things
DeleteGirls wey dey threaten to do runs don already start doing runs.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, dem dey run as I type. They are just seeking for legitimacy or alerting those concerned that they are already running.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
DeleteYou say the right thing but in a wrong way, that's not how to counsel someone. You can call her back, sit her down and talk to her heart to heart, make her see reasons with you that runs is a no no. Talk to her with love and care, I guess she's in her teens that's why she's acting that way.
ReplyDeleteNa because of money they don't want to give the girl. They should do the needful because your talking to her will not change what is in her mind.
ReplyDeleteI know what they pass through because my sister son too I had to do the needful for him.
Next time stay out of other people's family issues
ReplyDeleteReally? But her mum called me
DeleteDid you read it at all or you need a recommended eye glass?shior
DeleteIs the girl a cripple? She can't do nanny work or cleaning or extra lessons for kids to supplement what her parents give her?
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's difficult to understand what parents are going through. Don't just say, there's no money. Explain what is going on so they can make intelligent decisions.
ReplyDeleteSupport ur advice with money next time
ReplyDeleteHahahaha na so na
