His post read:
“Where are my children? My girls? My children are doing nothing for me, yet I sent them to school. And they are all out of high school. Here I am washing all my clothes. I don’t know why,” he said before mentioning the names of the three daughters.
“Know them, Celia K Jacobs, Lilian Jacobs and Rita,” he added.
Sammy Jacob’s daughter responds to daughter’s claims
Celia, one of those daughters mentioned by Sammy, has since responded to the abandonment claims raised by her father.
She faulted him for airing the family’s private matters to the public, insisting neither she nor her sisters had wronged him.
“I’m one of the three girls my father mentioned in his post. Some things happen within a family that people do not understand. Firstly, I’m Christian, and I know my sisters, and I have never done anything wrong to our father for him to come on the internet and make us look bad,” she said.

Celia hinted there were deeper issues that needed solving in the family, adding that her father had posted the matter on social media to capture public sympathy.
She also noted that neither of her sisters would explain to the public or address the claims by her father publicly, as they owe no one an explanation.
“We never abandoned you, but you are only doing this to buy public sentiment. I don’t think this is the best way to go about things, so I’m not delving into this with you. Settling things amicably was the only way forward,” he said.
