Uncertainties of life reared its head tonight (18-09-2023). What happened? A man was unexpectedly selected by death at 7 pm tonight.
Prior to that, he was able-bodied. He had called someone at Cantonments, and within 15mins when the person reached where they were supposed to meet, he wouldn’t pick up his calls. His wife picked up and in a hoarse voice mumbled the emergency that had seen him rushed to hospital.
The suspected sudden stroke had killed him, after briefly clinging to a life-support at the hospital. Babayara was the PRO of the Tijaniyya Muslim Council.
It is important that people work towards giving children a means of sustenance in times of emergency and inform older children of any confidential investments. Adults must work on essentials and less so much playing at the gallery.
Expenditure on children’s education has made it very difficult for parents to save up for their own fallback. This is worrying indeed as without any shock-absorbing interventions, a child who knew no brawn and sweat, could suddenly end up on the streets if spewed by other kith and kin in the event of an untimely death.
Parents may have to resort to counseling of their wards, not to see the exigent, rigorous, energy-sapping school-going regime as an end in itself. A child who is not stubborn and will listen gives the parent elbow room to put things in place for total life. If a child must sacrifice a whole academic term or year to enable mum or dad to complete a major investment for their own future good, so be it.
