Human rights activist, Reno Omokri has urged Nigerians to give their ageing parents undivided attention in place of gifts they cannot enjoy.
The former presidential aide canvassed quality time disclosed that he has had chats with friends who haven’t sacrificed anything for them and abandon the parents that have always been available.
Omokri explained that neglect tends to make old people suffer and die of loneliness due to lack of proper attention.
He shared the nuggets on his Instagram page.
“Don’t just give your parents money in their old age. Give them something more than money. Give them your attention. Call them often. More of their friends die as they age and they suffer from loneliness. Ease their pain.
“You spend hours everyday chatting on WhatsApp with acquaintances and associates who have not sacrificed for you like your parents. You talk on the phone for ages with your love interest and business partners. You have so many people to talk to. Now, imagine if all of these people that you talk to are suddenly no more, would you not feel lonely and depressed? In fact, stop reading this and call your parents now!”
