Abandoned Old Dr Kolade Bolarinwa Who Did His Family Right But Still Ended Up Alone
He did everything right and still ended up alone.
He never chased women.
He never chased alcohol.
He chased only a future for his kids.
Today, that future lives abroad. And he lives alone.
This is Dr Kolade Bolarinwa.
Top of his class. First-class engineer. PhD before his mates finished Masters.
No smoking. No drinking. No scandals. One wife. One life of faithfulness.
He sacrificed everything to send 4 children to Ivy League.
Today he is in his 70s, standing in his kitchen alone… trying to remember how to cook chicken tikka.
His wife left 4 years ago to help their daughter in Melbourne. She never came back.
Birthdays are now emojis. Anniversaries are now FaceTime.
He didn’t cheat nor did he stray. He didn’t hurt anyone.
He just believed doing right would protect him in old age.
His story is not rare. It’s the silent fate of many good men😭
Read this….Then call your parents.

This is Dr Kolade Bolarinwa
Reports say he started life with discipline stitched into his bones.
Badagry Primary School.
Alliance High School.
Top of his class every single time.
He graduated with first-class honours in Engineering from the University of Nsukka in 1967, then completed a PhD long before his peers even finished their Master’s.
He never smoked.
Never touched alcohol.
Never chased the scandal of women.
Never stained his name.
He chose one woman.
Married her.
Stayed faithful to her for life.
He raised four brilliant children and sent all of them to the Ivy League on merit, doors he opened with sacrifice, late nights, quiet work and money he never spent on himself.
He gave them the life he never had.
And they took it.
And they went abroad.
And they stayed there.
Now he is in his seventies.
A well-respected professor.
A man who shaped generations.
But in the house he built with his wife, he is a ghost moving from room to room.
He stood in his kitchen today, staring at raw chicken, trying to remember how chicken tikka is made.
Because he’s alone.
Utterly alone.
His wife left four years ago to “help their daughter” in Melbourne after childbirth.
Routine visit, she said.
She never came back.
She now belongs to the children.
Birthdays are FaceTime calls.
Anniversaries are reduced to emojis in group chats.
Her body is abroad.
Her heart left long before her flight.
And this man who lived right, loved right, did right, has been abandoned without ever doing anything wrong.
A bachelor again.
Not by sin.
Not by choice.
But by quiet, creeping neglect from the very people he built his world around.
This is the lonely end of a good man.
A man who never cheated.
Never strayed.
Never hurt anyone.
A man who believed that doing everything by the book would protect him in old age.
Yet here he stands:
Alone.
Heartbroken.
Still loyal to a woman who forgot to come home.
And the saddest part?
His story is not rare. This is the silent fate of many “good men”, men who poured themselves out until nothing was left for them.
