A Nigerian mother recently voiced her profound regret on social media. Her son developed a concerning health issue after visiting his father. The unforeseen change has caused her immense distress.

A Mother’s Dedication: 15 Years of Solitary Parenting

The mother, identified as Wisdom’s primary caregiver, stated she raised him for 15 years. She was solely responsible for his upbringing. They separated from Wisdom’s father due to family issues. Despite this, they maintained contact regarding their son’s welfare.

Son’s Desire to Reconnect with Father

Wisdom repeatedly expressed a wish to visit his father. The mother initially hesitated. She eventually agreed, allowing him to go on September 8, 2019. At that time, Wisdom was healthy. He was active and performed daily tasks independently.

Father’s Sudden Relocation and Denial of Contact

The mother was alarmed by subsequent events. Wisdom’s father relocated with the boy shortly after the visit. He then refused her any further communication with their son. Months passed without access. This left her deeply worried about Wisdom’s well-being.

Disturbing Discovery: Son’s Deteriorated Health

On February 19, 2021, Wisdom’s father finally reached out. He informed her that their son was unwell. He urged her to come immediately. Upon her arrival, the mother was shocked. Wisdom appeared frail and weakened. He could barely use his legs. Basic tasks became impossible for him.

She shared a video on TikTok. This video highlighted her son’s current state. She appealed to the online community for assistance.

Unsuccessful Treatment Efforts and Lingering Questions

The mother revealed her efforts to find a cure. She took Wisdom to various medical facilities. She also sought spiritual intervention from churches. Unfortunately, no treatment restored his prior health. She admits she remains unaware of the cause. The sudden decline in her son’s health is a mystery.

In her own words:

“So this is my son, Wisdom, but I decided to call him Jedidiah, meaning ‘beloved of the Lord,’ because truly, that’s what he is. He’s 17 years old already. On September 8, I took him to his dad—not because I was tired or wanted to ‘slay,’ but because he started crying, acting up, and insisting too much that he wanted to meet his dad. He had stayed with me from birth because his dad and I are separated due to too much family wahala, and I have been a very good mother. But I had to let him go meet his dad after he kept insisting. A lot of people kept saying, ‘This day will definitely come.’ So after much back and forth, he went to meet his dad on September 8. They later moved from their old place, and I did not see my son again. I begged his dad, sent WhatsApp messages, but he kept saying there was no need for me to see him. I was later told to just let them be—after all, I had been taking care of him alone for almost 15 years. Only for his dad to send me a message on WhatsApp saying my son was not feeling fine and that I could come see him. A few days later, I went to their new apartment. I could not believe my eyes when I got there and saw my own child looking like a very old man and dirty too. I cried and cried—a day I will never forget. I left but could not even do anything. I had to go back the same day, to carry my son. I was pained, hurt, broken, broken. I carried him to different places, seeking help and a solution. Hmmm no solution.”
