Parenthood is a divine responsibility given to a father and a mother. Children are a blessing from God to parents and it is expected that they should be taken care of morally, mentally, materially, academically, socially and Godly.
The fact remains that parents, children are humans with their own free will; to make decisions for themselves hence, whether you are a parent or a child, you are bound to make some mistakes or difference in the way you do things to your understanding.
Parents are given the mandate to be supreme over their children. However, this should be done in love. Now, what if a child makes a mistake over and over again? What if that mistake seems to affect the plans parents have for their children?
This story is about Mr. Oniba daughter who got pregnant for an undergraduate. This story is a true life story and I would love us to contribute constructively to help this family.
The said young man is 27 years old and the girl is 22 years of age. The boy is an undergraduate studying Electrical Engineering in the university. The incident happened when the young boy was on his internship and he rented an apartment close to this young girl's home. This young girl always help this boy with his chores of which even the girl's parents were aware of the girl assistant to the boy. But the closeness of this two lads was not ordinary.
Yes! there was something beyond what meet the eyes. This two lads are in love and they had sex. According to the story, the girl just concluded her 5 days menstrual flow thinking it was not possible to be pregnant and she had sex with the boy two days after her flows stopped. This became known to the boy that the girl was pregnant after he has been warned by the girl's maternal uncle and the girl's father that they never want to see the two lads together again unknowingly to them that the girl was pregnant.
Due to the pressure and strict warning by the girl's parents, the boy agreed to suspend any relationship he is having with the girl until they are both ready ( that is, when he is done with his school and the girl is done with hers).
Now the girl is pregnant. What next?
Since the girl's father had sternly told the two lads never to be seen together, they are scared and they can not tell anyone.
The boy loved the girl else, he wanted to just go for an abortion but he is feeling for his unborn child and even if he consider going for it, the girls parents will still find out someday.
It would have been more easier if the parents were the type that would sit these two lads down and plan with them. This might be their destiny.. Sometimes it is not all rosy up the ladder of success in life.
Now the boy has thought of it over and over again and wants to keep the baby.
How will they tell the girls parent and family? The boy can always handle his own parent. Should they run away? What about the boy's education that he is almost done with? Knowing fully well that the girl might still go back to school after her gestation period and weaning.
If you the girl or boy or the parents, how will you handle this issue?
Please I need your contribution to help this young lads and family so that they will not make a more severe mistake.
Resteem for more contributions. Thanks and God bless.
