Son insists on giving salary to dad
The woman identified as @aladeenitan on TikTok revealed how her son insisted on sending his entire first salary to his father in Nigeria.
The father, having abandoned his family years ago, had reappeared in his son’s life when they needed his permission to enable him travel overseas.
The mother recounted her struggles in raising her son alone, sacrificing tirelessly to provide for his education and well-being.
She expressed surprise that her son’s first thought upon receiving his salary was to support his absent father, rather than rewarding her dedication.
In her words:
“My son said I should send his first salary to his father in Nigeria who abandoned him as a baby. He said his father doesn’t have money to eat. I was surprised and I said after all the suffering I passed through for him.
“His father stopped taking care of him when he was three years. I trained him in primary, secondary school. But his first work, he didn’t think of me. He didn’t say I should take money and buy even if it’s chewing gum.”
