I intentionally don’t talk much about them so you can know that for me, the background means next to nothing
I believe it is God that gives the ability to produce wealth…therefore; nobody should feel more important than others because of a gift that God gave them”
“You are a young lady making close to a quarter of a million monthly, my parents would have loved to be in your shoes back then” he added just to make me laugh “Besides, it’s my choice I make my own decisions, especially life decisions…this is not the first time I’m making a serious decision for my life without waiting for an approval stamp.
Even you, can tell that I loosed myself from Mama’s apron long ago.
My parents trust my judgment and respect my decisions.
They know me; I do my thing once I get the go-ahead from God.
I am not disrespecting them but I learned to trust God and go with my guts as far back as my high school days. I didn’t have a choice…
Career advice? I would definitely take that from my dad…I would even take fashion advice from him
Business advice? I would take that from my mum as well…
Marriage advice? Nah…I would rather get in “The Word” or talk to a spiritual leader with proven track record.
Rest assured, nothing can go wrong…they will love you and even if they don’t (God forbid) I can never be manipulated by what my parents think, that ship sailed a long time ago
They advise me from time to time and I thank them for it. They don’t force me to do anything; they don’t even do it to my younger ones. They understand that certain decisions are ours to make. One of the perks of growing up in a non-African culture”
Folahan made me feel better about the whole thing so I agreed to it. I was worried about what to wear and all of that, he told me to just be myself and buy what I would wear to my own birthday party if his parents wouldn’t be there.
A day to the Lagos trip, Folahan took ill
He had told me, the previous night, that he wasn’t feeling too good and I had prayed with him over the phone but when I called him in the morning, he could hardly speak. I was so scared but he told me I should go to work and he would stay at home and get some rest.
