Nigerian Lady Shares Heartbreak After Discovering Her 70-Year-Old Father’s Planned Marriage To A 35-Year-Old Woman Through Facebook

“You know how, as a teenager, you tell everybody who cared to listen that you didn’t want to marry somebody who wasn’t like your dad?

Oh well, I’d like to formally issue a public retraction of that statement because guess how I knew my father was getting married in two weeks? Facebook. A Facebook post sent to me by my friend.

Not a phone call, not a family meeting, but Facebook.

And guess who the lucky bride is? A girl half his age.

This guy used to be my favourite person in the whole world. He was my standard for everything. If you asked me who my superhero was, it was him. No competition. He was the blueprint..

And it hurts. It hurts so bad because I know my mum is an incredible woman. She may not be perfect, nobody is, but that woman held us together.

That woman carried us on her back for several years when things were tough. But the second my dad got blessed and gained some ground, suddenly my mum wasn’t enough anymore.

So yeah, if you ever heard me say I wanted somebody like my dad, please delete it from your memory.

The man who raised me was impeccably great. But this man, I don’t know him.

You might as well wish him well on the 10th of September. I’ll be right here minding my business.”
