He promised to pay my school fees
Dear ObaaYaa,
I dropped out of school when my father lost his job and things became very tough for the family to get the daily three square meals.
A friend of mine took the opportunity and introduced me to a man who became my “Sugar Daddy”. Although that man had promised to help me pursue my education, which i treasured so much, l did not feel comfortable because he is married with children.
I have made enquiries to discover that this man who has promised to assist me to realise my educational dreams, does not cater for his own children and have incurred the displeasure of his family and other people.
I further learnt that the family responsibility rested solely on his wife who has to do several jobs to pay the school fees of the children.
I feel guilty and would like to back out of the relationship.
Would i be seen to offend him in any way?

Dear Celestine,
Count yourself blessed because you have been saved from an eminent problem which could have ruined your life.
Though you needed help to further your education and get a little relief from economic problems, you could have landed in a more serious problem which could have compounded your existing problem.
Your decision to conduct background checks on this man has really saved the situation. He could have impregnated you and messed up your life in the process.
That is why the word of God frowns on pre- marital sex at the beginning of a relationship.
Endeavour to engage in petty trading as a means of livelihood and if possible you can save a little towards your education.
Those who can genuinely give to support others are very few while majority operate as wolfs in sheep clothing.
