It's really a pity that a mom is going to jail because of the sins of her yahoo son. That's because she failed to be responsible and morally upright. But, truth is many mothers in todays Nigeria are used to doing the same thing. And, the reasons for such vary.... For some mothers, it's due to poverty, yet, for others, they do it because of greed and insatiable desire for material things. In fact scarcely do you find mothers in our society today who genuinely ask the source of wealth of thier children or loved ones. " It's a sad situation !
