In 2018, I lost my job in Lagos. Hid it from family for 4 months. Every morning, dressed up, carried a laptop bag, and left the house like normal. Sat in a buka in Yaba with free Wi-Fi applying endlessly. One day, my dad called me aside. “I know you lost your job.” I froze. He said, “I didn’t want to shame you. A man feels small when he can’t provide.” Then he gave me ₦20k from pension, with his arthritis bills piling up. “Hold yourself. Don’t tell your mother.” I cried that night. Not for money. But for the quiet love protecting my pride. Two months later, a better job came. Now I pay all his bills. That ₦20k wasn’t cash. It was belief. And belief changes everything. Do you have moments when your parents stood by you?
