His Sacrifices

It is a know fact that he had a large family but he was industrious and provides everything for us. His wives were industrious too and had properties too on their own for their children. As a Driver and pariach, he wake up very early to service and warm up his lorries. That was a big sacrifice because everyone in the family depend on that for our survivial.

However, my father was kind and honest in his transportation deals to the extent that parents send their kids to him to take home knowingly that he will delivered dutifully and faithfully. This sacrifice help the family business to grew up boastfully.

What a sweet dad you have. I wish your own children will give such testimony about you in the nearest future. Please emulate your Dad

Thanks so much. They will.

Such good impact of your dad on the community and on you and it's but wise to emulate his example. He is indeed a great man full of honor and respect.
I'm sure you have learned so many things from your dad's life especially with his marriage. If you want to get married to many wive you have to be a very strong and ask God to always strengthen you. Thank for sharing @sammylinks

They married many wives because of their need and based on how they view life then. But now everything that will prompt anyone to engage in such is very obsolete, barbaric and archaic. It is unheard of. To manage only one now is harder than three then. Thanks for reading.
