A Germany-based Nigerian [/b]mother expressed her shock and mixed emotions as her son unexpectedly decided to send his entire first salary to the father who abandoned him when he was just three years old.
The woman, known as @aladeenitan on TikTok, shared her disbelief in a heartfelt video, revealing that her son insisted on supporting his father, who is still residing in Nigeria, despite the years of absence and neglect he faced from him.
According to the mother, his father reentered their lives only when he needed permission for the boy to travel abroad. Despite having been left to grow up without a father, her son chose to extend compassion to the man, explaining that his father was struggling financially [/b]and lacked money for food.
The mother raised her son single-handedly and expressed her surprise at his decision. In her TikTok post, she recounted the conversation:
“My son said I should send his first salary to his father in Nigeria who abandoned him as a baby. He said his father doesn’t have money to eat. I was surprised and I said after all the suffering I passed through for him.”
She reflected on the sacrifices she made while raising him, including paying for his education and ensuring his well-being, despite their challenging circumstances. The mother admitted she was taken aback that, instead of acknowledging her dedication, her son’s first instinct was to support his absent father:
“His father stopped taking care of him when he was three years old. I trained him in primary and secondary school. But his first work, he didn’t think of me. He didn’t say I should take money and buy even if it’s chewing gum,” she lamented.
Her story has sparked a wide range of reactions online, with many people commending the boy’s ability to forgive and show empathy despite the pain of abandonment. Others sympathized with the mother, understanding her frustration and disappointment over her son's decision.
