Dear
Unborn Children,
Like
you have now known, today is another children's day. So I am wishing you a
happy celebration. Life has been good and progressive. I don't really have much
to write to you today because I didn't fulfil my promise to you. This is how
dads down here behave sometimes. Don't expect me to be like your Dad up there.
You can see small "d" in my dad and big "D" in His Dad. Man
can fail but God will never fail. I will try not to be like dads down here by
striving to fulfil promises made to you. It's good that you are not here yet.
Don't ask me about your mum. I don't have answers to that. Don't write back
with questions.
Daddy is going through some inner stuff and all shall be well. I told you in my last letter that things are not easy down here but that we strive by the Grace of our heavenly Dad. I want to increase my demand on you so that you will collect them first hand from God before you come down here. I hope you don't want your journey down here to be tough.

I
wish you are here to celebrate with other children but it's not your time yet.
When did your mum write you last? I hope she is ok and still full of smiles. I
promise that your mum will not be a sadist. She will not call you ugly names
after ugly names. You need to hear the kind of names that mums call their
children down here. Names like "useless girl, stupid boy, isi ukwu, onye
ara, good-for-nothing, etc"! Some Mums even curse their children with Pidgin
English. If they use good English, at least it will be better than "yeye
pikin, e-no-go-better for you, etc. I promise that your mum will not be like
this. Some dads are even worse than the mums. They don't even have time for
their children. Today children's day is like any other day. Their dads won't
even remember their child's birthday not to talk of children's day. You see? I
am trying even when you are not here yet. I would have wished you happy
birthdays but I don't know that one. You can ask God for your birthdays and
then you tell me because this harassment is too much. Even Joshua Oko that just
married two months back is giving me heat. I am not free to go to gatherings
anymore because I must be harassed with "when will you marry". I
don't think they are harassing your mum like this ooo! She will be somewhere
enjoying herself and feeling cool and everyone is blaming me for not bringing
her into my home. Don't worry, I am still a young man and your time to come
will soon come.
Nigeria
is getting better and worse. I didn't tell you last time that the North is in
crisis. Hmmm. It's been hell there and your Christian brothers have been through
persecutions and trying times. The political tension in this country is high.
Some states right now are in a state of emergency. But in all these things, God
is giving us a breadth of fresh air. People are enjoying down here in the midst
of all these tensions. If you see the houses at Maitama and the environment,
you will hate me if I take you to Rumuigbo. So tell Baba God that you want to
grow up in Maitama. Now, let me explain why; if you grow up in Rumuigbo your
life will not be the same as if you grow up in Maitama because the kind of
children you find in these two places are different. Their thinking and
reasoning are different. Their mindset and expectations are different. They can
sleep better and dream better. I don't want you to come here and be dreaming of
a better home. I want you to come here and be dreaming of a better nation
because your home would have been the best. Don't say i didn't tell you ooo!
You need to choose between Maitama and Rumuigbo. Place demands on God because
you are nearer to Him. Tell God to multiply your dad now and give him the power
to make wealth. You need the money here oooo!
Grace
don't forget to take care of Israel. You he likes attention. Have you seen your
other two siblings? I don't know their names. Just make sure they are close by.
Tell Precious, Smart and Smith that their dad Victor Ugwumba is confused. Tell
them that so many beautiful ladies are claiming to be their mum. Tell them that
their dad wants them to confirm their mum from God. Israel, Belinda Onyi Okechukwu's daughter is
there with you. Make her your friend now. Her mum is a pretty wonderful person.
She will like you to meet with her daughter in Harvard. You will even meet
Chris Madu's son with his Afro hair in the university. You will have a lot of fun
with him and his gospel raps. Steve Utolor's son is already a big boy, IG's
Mandypearl now have a younger brother Ben, Dr Kana has a beautiful daughter.
Don't eye her, she is your senior. Theresa George, Providence Nwaneri, Ijeoma
Johnson, even my Little Home-girl has given birth to a boy and so many of my
friends who I couldn't mention here are with children now. Please wish them all
a happy children's day and tell God to take care of them.
I
will be expecting you soon because your mum is nearer than last year. Don't
forget the things you will get from God.Hope to see you soon. My regards to
your grand dad. I need to go out
for work now. Enjoy your Children's day celebration and my regards to your mum.
Yours
love,
Your
earthly father
