I regretted having you as my father, dead Man’s children write negative biography in funeral brochure

Nigerians on social media have reacted to the viral negative funeral brochure written by the children of a Nigerian man who passed away at the age of 66 in Abia State.

The deceased, who is identified as Gabriel Osonwa Kalu, left his family tongue-lashing his dead body in the funeral brochure shared at the burial ceremony in Ohafia in Abia State.

According to one of the man’s children, the late Gabriel left no legacy for his children. “It is true nobody is truly perfect, but Ete Ossy, you left us with no single legacy as your children.

“Indeed you were so good to outsiders but your own home was a total shamble.

“As a growing child, I regretted having you as a father, but today, look at me, standing to lay you down to rest.’

Though the man was alleged to be a good public man and sociable, but he was never a good family man according to his children.

‘Ete Ossy was sociable to outsiders and very intelligent,’ the children wrote in their tribute.’

The tribute going viral has since garnered mixed reactions from the public.

Nigerians React:

Adebayo Bello said: “This is a message to all big men children who refused to hustle but are putting their mind on inheritance. This is how your father will disappoint many of you.”

Cynthia Michael Okpamen said: “Most fathers are like this. Very good to outsiders but bad at home. If u fail ur children as a father then don’t expect their love even in death. Parents play ur role well and see if ur kids can stay a day without hearing from u. That u are lucky to have a good dad doesn’t mean another was. The child spoke his or her bottled pain. RIP SIR.”

Awang Patrick said: “I don’t blame them at all… I know the pains of having an irresponsible father who is a beast at home but an angel to outsiders… I can totally relate to this… Those children no get joy sha but the man, wherever he is, will be on a serious hold up to heaven.”

Egberibin Diriakpo Lucky said: “Some fathers are like that. They prefer helping outsiders while they neglect their own children. Very unfortunate situation. God will continue to strengthen such children to be successful”.

Sardauna SB said “Though I don’t know your father or if is he alive to defend himself against the court of social media but one thing you must know is that fathers are disciplinarians while mothers are stabilizers….you are who you are today because of who he was. Morally children should not or think ill of their dad so that life will be kind to them…..but since you think that this is the best way to honour your dad at death….that is d son of who you are unfortunately”

Martin King-Oba Ogunwale said: “My father did worse, chased all my sisters from his house. I had to forgive him because he was getting old. all my sisters hate him. As a father, you need to be good to your kids. Have a good relationship with them. don’t bring them to this world if you have a heartless character”.

David Gloria Olaedo said: “This is a lesson to everyone, especially fathers. What pains me most is after neglecting their family and focusing on outsiders, when they will fall sick, it’s the same family that will take care of them on the sick bed until they die”
