Nigerian businessman Olakunle Churchill has kicked against the narrative that blood makes a family.
Taking to his Instagram page, he stated that one of the biggest lies ever told is blood makes you family. According to him, blood only makes one related, but loyalty, love, and trust make one family.
He said that being related by blood doesn’t automatically make a family. Rather, true family is built on loyalty, love and trust, and these qualities create unbreakable bonds.
