An elderly woman, who has been homeless and sleeping under a bridge for four years, revealed that her children abandoned her because she was unable to send them to school.
The aged lady narrated her heartbreaking experience after a kind stranger approached her, where she spoke about her struggles and the neglect she faces from her children.
She revealed that her first son, whom she described as ‘wicked,’ has refused to care for her or even answer her calls, despite her repeated efforts to reach him.
She said, “My children are wicked, especially the first one, a male. He abandoned me after building his house. If you want to call him, I can give you his number.”
When asked why her children had turned their backs on her, she revealed, “I called one of them to ask why, and he said it was because I didn’t send him to school. I told him there was no money at the time.”
She further shared details about her living conditions, revealing that she has been sleeping outdoors for the past four years and bathing in the bush.
“I’ve been sleeping here under the rain for four years. This is where I’ve been staying. I bathe in the bush.”
As the story spread online, concerned people shared their thoughts in the comments. Some reactions are shown below:

heisblaqdakid said, “Abandoned her cos she didn’t train you to school? But she fed and housed you and didn’t abandon you, so why abandon her?”
amaka_morayo said, “What if she had the money to send them to school then but she was spending it on party and asoebi??”
froshbuddie said, “Even if my mama na winch, I won’t deny her.”
seiyefa_him said, “Make Una dey born children wey Una fit take care of. Some of you will come here and judge the children but forget the main root of the problem.”
mubby_beauty_and_wellnesslink said, “Nurture your children with love and in the way of the Lord❤️💡.”
dd_oladipo said, “If you didn’t take care of your children, be you a man or a woman this is what you deserve… if the world calls out men who abandoned their responsibilities to their children I don’t think women who do the same should be excused of the consequences. A mother is the easiest parent to love for her children so if you see mothers their children have chosen to ignore then you should question the children because they are the real victims.”
