Tricia Heart talk

You asked for N10,000 and your dad told you he will give you in the morning before he leaves for work. This was after he has thoroughly scrutinised what you needed the money for, all the questions he asked were already making you angry,
Throughout the night your dad couldn't sleep because he was thinking of how to give you his last N10,000,
When it was morning, he called you into his room and gave you N9,000 instead of N10,000, You were not happy and squeezed your face in discontent and reluctantly said thank you after complaining that it was not complete,
Your mum after seeing this will not say anything but will meet you in your room where your dad isn't and give you N2,000 from her own money and say "don't mind him, use this one to complete it".

You began to smile like fido dido, And you'll quickly run to Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp to write...

"I have the best mum in the world, i love my mum".

Now your dad had gone out with just 1,000 in his pocket with no fuel in his car, Because of you, he used public transport that day to work,
At work he worked over time, After closing late, everyone keeps saying "daddy is never always around except mum".

Your good dad will never allow you see how much he suffers for the family because he is a MAN.

Always try to appreciate your dad because you can never tell what he is going through for your sake, That he is not always around like your mum does not mean he does not care about you deeply.

Appreciate your father while he is still alive!

I need to put this on my wall for my kids. Vanessa has said everything that I couldn't in this writeup.

My dada always drum it into my ears to mingle with my class.

Dada: stay with your class if you don't want to be in trouble or misunderstood.

Sometimes I felt like exploring, and it came hitting me on the face like a nylon full of s**t.

The worst thing that can happen to you is to try to help someone below your class. Wait for it when there is a twist, or they fail. It will always be you that is after them, after their stars that were not existing before you met them.

I had a friend in my neighborhood, i thought I could help her out of her sorry state by being friends with her.

If I want to buy anything for myself, I buy two for us. I was always after making her happy till the consequences of going against your parent's advice happened.

I drove out with her to get a perf at Everyday Emporium, one Saturday. Took the perf from the shelf with 14k price tag.

She shouted Jesus! And said sorry at once. I was like.. Girl, is everything alrighty?

She said that the perfume is so expensive, that she can't imagine herself bringing out such money to buy just a perfume. Will it take her to heaven? I smiled at her for being modest over a very cheap perfume, then asked her to take for herself.

Me: take for yours. It's actually cheap with a beautiful fragrance, and it lasts.

My sh: nooo! 14k again! Abeg give me the cash, I get problems weh pass perfume!

I said ok. Transferred the money to her. She screamed and hugged me. I felt good that I made her happy. I paid and drove back with her.

Before that, I sub for her, credit her phone, transfer money to her.

I felt that my dada could be wrong, that people do have the good and the bad in them. So there can be good people beyond your class. I never knew that I was digging my grave.

One night, she called me and asked that I show outside my gate, say she get werin she wan show me. By 9:30 pm😶. Say make I no let anyone know, say na surprise.

As tempting as it sounded, I was on my monthly cramp. I was tired and not feeling it.

Me: werin be dat?

My sh: girl show naa. I wan appreciate you!

I checked my phone screen, 9 don nak pass. Mba. Told her to come tomorrow, e Don late.
She insisted till I started feeling irritated.

Me: girl I deh bed o. If I start to deh unlock the whole house now, I go raise alarm. Make we see tomorrow.

She was saying something, I cut my phone and switched it off. I know her, she will keep. Calling.

She carried face for me for days.
Appreciate me naw, for where. Stories full everywhere. I shrugged it off as per person weh I know.

Life continued till I went to visit her and met her quarreling with her younger brother. I came with some provisions as usual.
They refused to be
Separated. I yelled at the brother to stop, he yelled back that I am blind to be her friend. Say na God saved me say I no comot for house for that night she called me, say na my ransom my parents for deh finish to deh pay now.

Haaa 🤯

Me: guy you say werin?

She attacked him furiously, screaming that he should shut up!

The brother: she planned with her boyfriend to carry you that night! You were her ticket to where they were planning to relocate to! This idiot you called your friend! Always saying how you are a spoilt brat! How you always think that the world revolves around you!
Comot for her matter!
No deh come see dead body!

I stood transfixed.

She kept at chasing him round their batcher till I left with what I came with, so shocked😱.

She kept calling my phone, sending texts to disregard what I heard, that it was all fabricated.

So how did the little guy come to know such? 🤔🤯

Found it hard to talk for days till I opened up to my my momma.

Early in the morning, the next day, my momma went with police and picked every living being there . Momma went for her boyfriend, he was not found.

She later confessed to the whole thing. 🤯

When they were released much later, they moved out and went to another land to pitch their batcher.

Not even a text of sorry, from her. She kept body like I offended her🤔.

When my dada decided to talk about it, I bursted into tears and fell on his feet. I kept saying sorry sorry till he took my hand. I ran into his arms like it's the only place I was safe for that moment 🥺. My dada couldn't say anything again.

I learnt the hard way.

Tell me about trying to help the poor again, let me show you my mental scars🙄.

Hmmmmm!
