No matter what, Asake should first do the needful first . Assuming the man is not sick and he needs money, it’s another thing entirely …… Asake should please do the needful.

Even if he was not there, how can he be so inhumane to the extent that he can’t take care of his father? With all the millions he has, what is he making the money for when he can’t take care of his father?
He didn’t approach him all this while he had fame ever since he abandoned him?
Why are you coming out now to claim him??? Because he’s now rich abi?? deadbeats should remain in the land of the dead, stop trying to guilt trip the young man, you are only paying for ur crimes against him.
If to say him mama self abandoned am and him come turn to riffraff, se him go come outside dey claim am. Parents stop running away from your responsibility you won’t be young forever. Asake please let go of every hurt God will help you.
