Скачать или смотреть The Stingy Father Saved All His Money While His Daughters Starved to Death

Eze Okonkwo is a man living a double life. To his community, he is a modest worker; to his family, he is a cold, "broke" patriarch who denies his daughters food and education because they aren't sons. However, hidden beneath his floorboards lies a metal box containing a small fortune—400,000 naira—hoarded while his family starves.

The breaking point arrives when his six-year-old daughter, Kamsi, nearly dies of pneumonia. Eze refuses to pay for her care, forcing his wife, Amaka, to carry the child to a clinic in the dead of night. This betrayal leads Amaka to discover the secret box. Instead of suffering in silence, she orchestrates a public unmasking at a local ceremony, exposing Eze’s greed before the entire community.

In the aftermath, the power dynamic shifts entirely. Amaka gains financial independence through a women’s cooperative, and her daughters thrive in school, proving they are the "legacy" Eze ignored. Eze is left a social pariah, finally realizing that while he saved his money, he permanently bankrupted his relationship with his family. It is a powerful tale of hidden greed vs. female resilience.
