The recent episode of the Delay Show featured an interview with popular Ghanaian TikToker, Hajia Bintu.
Host of the show, Delay in her usual craftiness started her interview by seeking to know about the beginnings of the social media sensation.
Along the line, the issue of Hajia Bintu’s father was brought up by the host who queried her guest with the question “where was your father in the picture?”
After a big sigh and a little giggle Hajia Bintu retorted with an emphatic “yes” to if her father was not around while she was growing up.
Then came a back-and-forth of questions between the host and her guest about the subject of an absent father and the emotional effects she suffers.
Delay: He wasn’t present right?
Bintu: Yes
Delay: Have you met him before?
Bintu: No.
Delay: Your whole life?
Bintu: My whole life.
Delay: Have you heard his name before?
Bintu: No.. mmm, Okay, George.
Delay: Does your mom know where he is?
Bintu: No, not even my grandmother.
The 24-year-old continued by saying that despite never having seen or seen her father before, there are times when she wonders why he hasn’t seen his picture.
She continued by saying that, despite spending a significant portion of her younger years living with her father’s mother, not even her grandmother could be confident of the location of her father.
When asked if she misses her father, she responded with around 20 long seconds of quiet and loud sighs before asking that the conversation move on.
