The tweet has sparked reactions from various Twitter users, with many expressing concern and emphasizing the need for families to confront such patterns head-on.
@kalutobest said: “This is the reason we often pray against any bad family pattern. A friend broke his family’s pattern of not living above 50 years old. I am religious, but….. omo, we need to look elsewhere for answers.”
@victordaberechi opined: “You see this kind of pattern, prayer no dey cure am. You gats go back to your roots and ask one or two questions and once you find the answer, it’s usually so glaring.”
@OjiUgo_nwa commented: “That’s a terrible pattern and shouldn’t be ignored by the family.”
@nongagwani stated: “Life is indeed spiritual.”
