Nigerian man who experienced poverty as kid flies his parents to visit him in UK
A Nigerian living in the United Kingdom, Toyyib Adewale Adelodun, has expressed gratitude to God for the accomplishments his family has made since their humble beginnings.
He took to Twitter to describe how he and his father were sleeping on a mat in their Mushin home, Lagos State.
Adelodun said he used to see the man worry whenever it was time to renew the house rent, and his landlord’s children frequently mocked him.
The Civil Engineer, who is the first child recently flew his parents to London and they stayed in his property.
He used his tale to encourage people to never lose hope because no condition is permanent.
“Your present condition is not permanent. Don’t doubt what God can do. Hold on! Stay alive! Don’t give up! A time is coming when you will laugh about all the things you worry about today.”
My dad and I used to sleep on a floor mat in Mushin. As the first child, I watched him panic when rent was due. The landlords children dragged him to my face.
When my parents visited London, they stayed in my property.
This is one of the reasons why I will always preach hope.… pic.twitter.com/9deY1xxGRW— Toyyib Adewale Adelodun (@taadelodun) June 3, 2023
