Caring for our older people should be younger ones responsibility and not a task. In some western part of the world like USA, the government took it as their official responsibility but in Nigeria the attention towards taking care of older age is very slim. I can remember when a friend from USA told me she worked in her father’s apartment. I was wondering what that means and when she explained I realized she was caring for her father in the comfort of his home and get paid for it.
