Father discovers love letter in his 8-year-old child’s bag, seeks advice

A Nigerian father has sought advice online after discovering a love letter in the school bag of his young child, who is in a basic class.

In a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, the concerned father anonymously reached out to a popular social security influencer, seeking guidance on how to handle the situation.

He wrote:  

“Agba, good morning. I came home last night, and my wife told me she found this in my son’s school bag. I don’t even know how to handle it. Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated. He will be 8 years old in May.”

“I don’t know if I should scold him, talk to him, or scare him. I just need something that will stick with him as he grows. Please help, sir.”

The letter found in the child’s bag read:

“Hello pretty, you’re truly the one for me. My day would not be complete without you. You’re my smile, my tears, my laughter—my heart, my soul, my love.”

“You’re my everything. I never want to be without you. I want to grow old with you. I love you so much. Reply back.”

“From your friend, Ayo. Thanks for reading. I like you. Do you like me? Yes or No?”

As the post gained traction online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section, sharing their opinions on how the father should handle the situation.
