WithChude. I grew up without my mum. My mum was not in my life since I was a little girl. I was raised by my dad, his family, tossed here and there.step mum. It wasn t the best, let me just put it that way, jumping from one family member to the other, she said. My dad is my everything. He was doing everything he could to create a name for himself, his business, his work, and I guess, you know. I hope I m not being mean by saying Nigerian men, they can t really. single father, can t really just take care of their child, so they have to put the child here and put the child there.
