The ₦2 million I lent my cousin almost scattered my father's house

Two years ago my cousin Musa call me one night. His father, my uncle, was sick. Kidney problem. The hospital in Kano say they need ₦2 million before they touch am. Musa voice was shaking on phone.

I had that money in my business account. It was for suppliers. But I no think twice. Family na family. I transfer the money that same night.

Musa say six months. I say no problem, we are blood.

Six months pass. Nothing. One year. Nothing. My own suppliers start to call me, they want their money. I beg dem small time.

Then my uncle call a family meeting. The same uncle wey I help. He stand up and say I dey count money over blood. That I am disgracing the family because of small money.

Wallahi I no talk. I just look him. My father look ground.

That day I learn something. Love no mean say make you be fool. Now if family want money, I write am down. If dem vex, make dem vex. My business feed my children.
