- Dayo Amusa has warned parents against using their life savings to raise their kids.
- The actress stated that she has seen people who have done such and faced abandonment from same kids after growing up.
- Her post stirred a lot of backlash from her followers.
Nollywood star, Dayo Amusa has urged parents not to use all their life savings to take care of their children and train them as they grow.
The actress came under heavy fire online after she dished the advice which she noted was to help the parents upgrade as they are raising their kids.
Amusa made the statement on her Instagram page, and she emphasised that men and their wives should always put themselves into consideration.
Citing an example from a case she claimed to have witnessed, Dayo Amusa said a 78 year old uncle of hers who raised all his kids abroad didn’t have any of them show up at his funeral.
She wrote;
“Dear Parent!!! One mistake you should never make as a parent is raising your kids with all your life savings to eventually get so much exposure that they won’t want to stoop low to living around you.
“Upgrade yourself as u upgrade your kids. Plan your future so you won’t have your kids too far from you..
Lately, Having all your kids abroad looks like an achievement until your old age sets in. That is when you will know that sending you money is not as important as having them around you… That’s when you will understand that life’s fulfillment is beyond money but quality of time spent with your grown up children and grand children…
I’ve had an Uncle who raised all his families abroad, died at 78 and none of his kids came home to bury him and give him the last respect / honour.
Men! This is not a matter of marrying many wives … It’s about being intentional with your old age plans… And if marrying more than one wife is your strategic plan, ensure you execute it with wisdom.
Parents seems to cater so much for their kids that they forget ourselves in the process… Do not forget yourself in the mathematical equation of life… Always put yourself into consideration… This old age we are talking about is nearer than we think…
YOU MATTER A LOT TOO 📌 May God grant us the opportunity to live long in sound health and more wealth.. #jmvwithdayoamusa”.
