Gratitude to the Man Who Raised Us: Memories from 1980s Ibadan

1 / 4

A Nigerian shares a heartfelt message of thanks to the man who stood in as his father during childhood in Ibadan in the 1980s. He remembers how Mr. Ehiabhi stepped up to discipline and guide them when their parents were away. Back then, adults could correct children without parents taking offence. We had mentors who kept us on the right path. Today, even a gentle reprimand can lead to fights at school or disapproving looks from mothers. That kind of firm, caring guidance feels lost. We could all benefit from more community role models shaping the next generation.
