‘’ If you go to the market, if you travel out of the country, wherever you go, I want to remind you that the home is always the final destination. There is no place like home. Home sweet home. If you are listening to me and you have not called your parents or it’s been long since you remembered them, I want to remind you that home is the final destination.
‘ They are deceiving you, they said your parents are bad, they want to kill you; parents that didn’t kill you when you were still a baby. You stopped talking to your parents because you are looking for money, I want to remind you that the home is always the final destination. Call them, go back home’’
‘Go back home, call your parents, ask about their wellbeing, go home because that’s the final destination. Send them money, remember those that took care of you, remember those who stood by you.’’
