The story sparked a heated debate online, with many people sharing their thoughts on the moral failures and the enabling role of some parents in encouraging such acts. Some commenters shared their own experiences with similar situations, while others expressed outrage and disappointment at the young man’s actions.
One commenter, @ImmaJF, wrote: “Meanwhile, a father from my mom’s place refused to let his son drive into his compound for over a week until he provided proof of his legitimate work. Turned out that the man had hit a jackpot with bitter cola and cashew nuts export. You’re right. It’s on the families.”
Another commenter, @official_maxiee, shared a similar experience, saying: “That’s how my cousin was stealing from my brother, and he was sending money to his family and umu asa. My cousin, someone that his parents call my brother often and he sorts them out. I wish he knew the plans my bro had for him.”
