Wale Gates makes case for student who killed his father, shares his own story

  

A few days ago, we heard about a 21 year old Redeemer University student named Tolani Ajayi, who killedhis own father. The news shocked us all...because it's unheard of for a child to kill his own parent but UK based comedian Wale Gates says he has little sympathy for the young man because he's been in the boy's shoes and kind of understands what could have pushed him.

Wales shares his own story of the abuse he suffered in the hands of his own father growing up, how he didn't speak to the man for 12 years and how he eventually forgave him. See all that after the cut...

P.S: If you hit your child frequently or even verbally abuse them, you need to stop. They remember when they grow up, and they may never tell you but they carry that resentment for a long time.

Yes ladies, one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors is going to be a daddy soon. Ryan Gosling, 33, and girlfriend of 3 years, beautiful actress Eva Mendes, 40, are expecting their first child.
