The greatest sacrifice the world will ever know is that of a mother. It is one that is accompanied with a lot of pain for gain, tears for laughter, frown for smile, struggle for success, and hurt for relief. You are asking, for whom? Who else? You and I – the children. I’m guessing you already know about the pains during child birth, and I am pretty sure you are aware of that heavy nine month journey. Who says a mother shouldn’t be worshipped? A machine the creator used to fashion out you and I, or what do you think the womb stands for? “Orisha bi iya osi – there is no idol like a mother.” Even fathers dare not to argue that fact. I understand the fact that some people have issues with theirs. Perhaps she bailed on you when you needed her most, or she just doesn’t seem to be as supportive as you wish, but always remember you could have been the case of an abortion. For all that it is worth; she gave you your first chance. You share with her your first bond. Hence, before you relegate her to the oblivion, remember that she gave you purpose by giving birth to you. It is your responsibility to take care of her, and yes! You shouldn’t wait until you are rich to do that. She needs your attention, your care, and love. Whenever I listen to M.I’s one naira, I don’t think of any other girl than my mother, “Momma you gat me.”
