MY CONFESSION BY KINGSLEY AHAMEFUNA. When i was a kid i use to be a very stubborn child, i hardly do what my parent tells me to do, i was very frustrating and annoying, i would do whatever i like because i am the first and only son of my parent. My mum always complain about my behaviour to my father but he would tell her to let me be that Im still a kid, i would change when i come of age, then i was 8yrs old. I continued that way causing a lot of trouble for my parents and my father would always come out to defend me no matter what offense i have committed. but there is this sunday i will never forget in 1988 then i was just 14 years. my mum was pregnant expecting her last child. She called me out that sunday morning and told me to bath my younger ones warm the remaining soup and take them to the church with me, i did as if she was talking to herself and went to the other compound to play football with my friends leaving what she told me to do behind. That very morning she was not strong enough to do those things herself, after few hours of laying inside she came out only to discover that i was no where to be found around the compound, my siblings which she asked me to bath are still playing outside without eating any food that morning. She called me immediately but their was no response, though i heard her but i pretended as if i was not the one she was calling. She was very angry with me for disobeying her eventhough i was aware of her condition, she cried and started laying curses on me. And she said Ahamefuna since you have vowed to be a stubborn child to your parents so shall your own child show you stubborness in away youll regret being his father. Youll be a wealthy person but mark my words today, your own child will give you double of what you gave me, she said this while lighting the stove but the soup has already gone sour because i picked up the pieces of meat that was left inside of it that morning with my hands and ate. To cut my long story short, my mother died during my final year in the university, after her burial i graduated from the university with a good result i got a good job with and a nice pay, my life changed, i got promotion in the company where i worked about two times before i became the CEO of my own company, then i was already married with two kids. My first son Obiora is no difference from what i use to be, his behaviours reminds me of my mischieviousness when i was at his age, He is just ten years old but i have gone through hell all because of him. I no longer sleep with my eyes closed for the fear of what he might do the next day. My mothers word are begining to manifest in my life today, my son is growing into something i cant even describe, he steals, smokes at his age.Last week sunday he was caught by my church members at the back of our church with a daughter of a member. He was beaten and brought before me during the closing hours, It was a scene of shame for somebody like me heading a big position in the church. My wife is worried, we have gone to different house of prayers and prophets in search of solution and anywhere i go i am being told to go and beg my mother for forgiveness, but how can i do that when she is dead, my wife and i have gone to her grave countless time to beg her for forgiveness as we were being advised by friends and well wishers but my sons behaviour keep getting worst everyday. I wish i can do someting about it, i am dying slowly i no longer attend meeting of my townsmen because of this, i hardly speak in public. The shame is just too much, people call me father of a thief. I am sad. I am depressed. Please i am using this medium to advise every parent out there not to place his her child above the law or make him/her superior among others, i wont have being in this whole mess if my late father was like my mum, he over pampered anfd spoilt me. Please teach your children the ways of the lord and they shall never depart from it. i was not thought all this.. And to the youths out there please learn from my story today, If your mother or father has layed a curse on in anyway, i think its time you make peace with them , tell them to forgive you and revise the curse they layed on you, so you can you live a peaceful and stressless life on this earth. I HAVE LEARNT MY LESSON
