Proud Dad Trains Daughter to Use ATM Cards and Manage Money Like a Pro

According to him, each of his ATM cards has a different password, but whenever they’re out shopping, he simply tells her the one they’re using, and she handles the withdrawal herself.

The father said he learned this habit from his own mum, who didn’t joke with him when it came to teaching him responsibility. “I was literally her handbag growing up,” he said. “She taught me how to fill a bank teller and withdraw money at the bank as early as 2000.”

Beyond banking, his mum also taught him how to cook, and she shaped his business sense by sending him to buy and resell items from Ogbete Main Market.

These early lessons, he said, made him the responsible man he is today—and even impressed his wife, who noticed his homely skills right from the start.

He’s now passing these lessons on to Olaedo. “She can power on a laptop and shut it down properly,” he said proudly. “It’s basic—but it’s a foundation.”

He also advised parents to teach boys how to cook and girls how to handle what are often considered ‘boys’ tasks. “Balance it. Let them grow up complete,” he added.

“Don’t raise liabilities. Teach them life.”
