Firstly, we cannot say they didn’t build or buy a house for their fathers just because it wasn’t posted online. Secondly, if they didn’t, there must be a story behind it. Lastly, and most importantly, we men underestimate the importance of bonding, showing up, and emotionally supporting our kids. We act like these things aren’t as important as providing. Many men don’t even try at all. no bond, no emotional support, and just providing.
Do you know why many men are quick to disown their kids? It’s because there is no bond. We see it online all the time: a video of kids making mistakes, and men commenting, “If any of my kids try this, I will disown them.” That easy? The first thing that comes to your mind is to disown them? I changed so many diapers, soothed their sickness, and endured every tantrum, and you just want me to disown my kids? Many men see kids as people they only need to provide for.
If all you do is provide, while the mother does the showing up, emotional support, and bonding, then when the kids grow up and it’s time to give back, they will do the same. Not because they are bad kids, but because that’s what they learned. They will celebrate their mother more. They will talk to her more. Meanwhile, you as the father who only provided, will only receive financial gestures and gifts. You will be taken care of. They will like post their mom and rarely post you. Ask people who openly celebrate their dads if all he did was provide.
But if you never celebrated them when they were young, why should they celebrate you? You can’t expect them to miraculously create a bond you never built. If you’re lucky, your kids may unlearn that pattern and try to build a relationship with you, but it will be difficult, because they were raised with, “As a father, it’s my way or the highway.”
I work 12 to 16 hours sometimes, and my daughter has a game right after that. I get tired, really tired, but I still show up. And many times, when I get there, the smile that lights up her face when she spots me in the crowd is priceless. I love seeing that.
Do you think I always have the strength to go to parks, birthday parties, pools, and watch her play sports? Sometimes I want to rest, but I still try. And whenever I can’t make it, I communicate that with her. I don’t just fail to show up. I explain and give her reasons. So, my brothers, providing for your family and being emotionally present aren’t mutually exclusive. Try. Otherwise, when you are down, your kids won’t be beside you on your deathbed, but they will make sure you d*e comfortably.
Don’t add salt to white rice, fried plantain or fried eggs.
You don’t add salt to swallow if you’re using it to eat stew. So why add salt to white rice for same stew?
You don’t add egg to boiled eggs 🥚 so why add salt to fried one?
You don’t add salt to roasted plantain (boli) so why add salt to fried plantain?
We consume too much salt!
I don’t think Men understand how much they’re supposed to set the tone. What you pour into your woman she’ll pour out. How she treats you will strictly come from how you treat her! Men have all these standards for a woman but doing bare minimum for her and I’m not just talking about financially ! I’m talking mentally , physically , emotionally and spiritually! Most of the time her mood is based off the mans energy and his mood ! If you have a good woman , pour into her , put her first , listen to her , communicate with her , and never play about her . I Guarantee you you’ll get all of that in return plus more from a real woman .
Few days ago I was with some friends (2 of us are married and the remaining 3 aren’t).
Before I knew what was happening, the other married man came with 5 young ladies to keep us company. And I respectfully declined that I wasn’t interested (which I politely declined the lady assigned to me).
Then baba just shouted ‘who carry this pastor come this hangout naww?’
Wetin I tell that man that evening. He no believe am. What is ‘who carry this pastor come this hangout naww?’
ME TO HIM:
Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? A married man that’s still philandering with young girls outside in public spaces and you think it’s a flex? Oga, I don’t have to be a pastor to know what’s right and wrong.
This lifestyle wey you dey live na rubbish. If nobody wan tell you, me I go clear you! Mind you, I declined not because I am afraid of anything or I am a Jew-man; I declined because I have discipline and I am a man of principle.
And if you still don’t get that, then it’s on you NOT me.
:::::::::::::::::
It’s high time we started clearing some stupid narrative out there about married men and women. Who says a man or woman regardless of being married or not can’t be FAITHFUL to their partners?
Since when a person’s principle makes him a Jew-man?
Guessed who called me on a Sunday morning to apologize for tagging me a Jew-man because I refused to be cajoled 😂😂😂

Omitting is lying when you know the information withheld will change the outcome of a persons perspective on how they should weigh their choices on how to maneuver the situation. It can be considered as manipulation. Withholding information deliberately is deceptive. So yes omission is lying!
Not everyone is miserably married. Some men actually adore their wives and see her as his best friend. And some women actually love, respect, and cherish their husbands too. Healthy love still exists. May this kind locate you.
