Life was so hard for Mr. Aliu when he noticed his wife was 2 months pregnant. He began thinking on what to do. His income was much lesser than his living expenses so his life was like a man who as been dead for a very long time to his relatives. No one appreciated his effort on things due to his failures.
"Why is my life like a man that wants to catch a flying bird on a mountain?". The thought was so deep at midnight and his thought kept echoing in his head even his brain couldn't keep his thoughts any longer. Mr. Aliu as a vulcanizer works very hard to make a thousand naira a day to feed his family of 3, not to talk more, the feedings and clothing of the unborn child if he or she arrives. To avoid the increasment of sadness he plays a game of happy home when he himself is lost in himself.
The thought of the loan he collected from Bank for the delivery if his pregnant wife as eluded him. The he began to have some strange feelings of killing himself if his creditors comes to request for their money again. "How will a man who works very hard to get a thousand naira pays an hundred thousand naira within a month?".
"Or should I scarifice the child to the gods for money?" suggestions began to flow. Then of what advantages did I born the child and locking myself in debt.
Only hardship can make a man have those kinds of thought and poverty as made people do things they are not meant to do
Poverty can make a poor family run away from their duties. Strive hard at your tender age so you can build an happy home at an older age.
