There was a man who had many sons without a female child. His wife passed on many years ago living him with his five sons.
As time goes on, he raised his sons without a mother and a wife but he believed that he will give his children the fatherly training they need.
The older his sons become,the older he becomes too. He started aging in a way that his hair turned grey within a year.
His sons were a little stable in their various businesses. They comes home every festive period just to spend time with their father.
Meanwhile, the eldest of them all got married first and had kids. The man had started having another generation. His grandchildren didn't really like him because they perceive him to be a stingy man.
How this man became stingy towards his grandchildren nobody knows. He cannot freely give them things without having to count the items all over again and calculate what he will loose.
A time came,his first son became financially down and he cannot free his family the way other men does. In order to meet to ensure that he feeds his family, he asked his father to give him some money so that he can buy bread and beverage for them so that they can eat for the morning.
His father refused giving him the money ,he left angrily and decided to buy it on credit from his customer. On his way, he was hit by a motorcyclist. That was how he died without coming back with something for his family to eat.
As time passed, their grandfather doesn't care whether his first grandchildren eats or not even though his sons send money monthly for him to eat and for the family.
The children grew lean and tiny day by day. They tagged him as a stingy man. The worst part of it was whenever he buys something, he will hide it in his cupboard so that his son's wife and the children will not eat out of it.
They managed the little they had and the
mother worked hard so that her children can eat and be healthy.
A day came, a day he was not expecting to kick the bucket. One of his grandchildren bought fufu worth of #500 and handed it over to his grandfather. He didn't ask them if they have had something for that night.
After given it to him, they left the room and he ordered their father to dish soup for him. After she did,he started nagging at her about eating all the meat in the pot.
She didn't say anything but left his room. After she left the room,he locked the room and started eating the fufu.
Minutes later, he started shouting for help,calling his son's wife name. He was shouting in a way that his voice was not audible enough for others to hear him.
He was shouting in a way that sends a message to his daughter in law that he needs help. She quickly called his sins and her neighbours as well.
The neighbours came as quickly as possible and noticed that the room was locked. They were able to unlock the room and what they found was heart breaking.
Immediately they opened the door,his body fell backwards . That wasn't the end, he locked the remaining fufu in his cupboard.

What a funny world. He ate alone and died alone. Nobody knew what killed him. What happened to him was a mystery. What happens after he acquired all the money without spending it on those that needed it?
He died without having to show love to those around him. He ate alone and died mysteriously. He died without showing his grandchildren he loved them rather they knew him as a man who cannot sacrifice for them.
Let's think of this;What happens to us after we might have acquired all the riches of the world without reaching out to those who needs it. The funny thing is that we cannot carry any of these to heaven. Empty we come and empty we go. Let's reflect on this and be more generous to those around us.
