The crazy thing is that some men were unintentionally turned into this type of father without ever realizing it.
Chukwudi breaks the table in the sitting room. His mother sees it happen but simply says, “Wait until your father gets home.” Meanwhile, the father wasn’t even there when it happened.
He comes home after a long day at work, hears about the incident, and, believing it’s his duty as a father and the head of the house, decides to discipline the child because he was raised to believe that if you spare the rod, you spoil the child.
The moment he starts punishing Chukwudi, the same mother who reported the incident begins pleading, “Please, leave him nah, it is enough oh”
Subconsciously to the child, the mother becomes the loving protector, while the father becomes the strict, scary and cruel villain.
Years later, Chukwudi grows up closer to his mother and carries resentment toward his father, even though the father genuinely believed he was doing the right thing.
I won’t fall into that trap. I refuse that "Executioner" role🙌
My biggest issue with Nigerian movies is how out of touch it is.
Nobody talks like that. No university system is like that.
It’s not high school, it’s secondary.
It’s not mom and dad, it’s mommy and daddy.
It’s not posh accents and chilling at grandpa’s mansion, it’s grounded things we actually do here. If I wanted oyibo sauce, I’d open Netflix.
And I will continue to open Netflix lmfao.
So out of touch omo.
No, THANK YOU! Truly a honor to wear the 💜💛 while trying to continuing the greatness & legacies that came before me! Hope I made a few proud during my stint. 🙏🏾🫡👑
