I grew up hearing from family members; being called a “Bastard” and each time i asked you, you said (“Olorun lon wo omo were, Olorun ma wo e” meaning God watches over the child of a mad person, he’d watch over you)
“Mummy I want to know I love you, I might not buy you Benz now because I don’t have a Pant yet but this certificate will amount to something great.
