If he looked, he would have found him! He had a better chance at finding him than the boy has at finding the father because he at least would know the full name of his baby mama. Boy does not even know the guy's name or where he is from to begin his search. As for the woman,its really dreadful that she's keeping the guy's info from his son....the misery will just fuel his curiosity more.

If she had killed him, it would have been easier to tell him from the start that his father is dead without pointing any fingers to herself.


Madam, I think you are economic with objectivity in the instant case. I don't know how old you are, but some of us adults are experienced enough to have even witnessed firsthand the follies of some women.

OP's mother has no morally justifiable right to conceal the information he seeks, also, not legally, even if that is debatable. Your position that his father had a better chance of finding him also fails. Assuming OP is 20 years old, how many people are technically equipped to apply the methodologies you espouse 20 years ago?. Let's not forget the man in discussion was probably a “technician”.

Did you miss the part where OP alluded to the possibility that his mother's name known to his father may not have been accurate?. You may possess that ability to smoke out Osama bin laden and Shekau from their hideouts, but you may be in the minority.

What are his chances if his then girlfriend simply absconded with their child?. Are we to assume you are uninformed about the vocation of most of our Ghanian sisters in Nigeria at that material time?.

Without the benefit of perusing through your posts to situate my suspicion of gender bias, for which I lack the time, I will opine that you may consider backtracking on the idea that every failed parentage is somehow a man's fault. Some are, but so are women as well.

@OP, you are right to seek to know who your father is. But also brace yourself for unpleasant realities during and if you eventually succeed. Broaden your inquiries around your mother's relatives and friends at the time she lived in Nigeria. What I can assure you is that your mother has something she does not want you to know about. We, being Africans, and the mindset we have, it has to be about her and her past.

Take this to Facebook as well if you are yet to, and good luck to you in your search.

Ask your mom, for documents of conversation between both of them. Your birth certificate at birth, where were you given birth to, I mean Hospital, which part of Lagos was he then, among others. With that you are not far from the truth you are seeking.
You have to be tough on her and involve third parties

Mr. Man, my advise to you is that if you're doing well for yourself already, forget this adventure of looking for your Dad and move on with your life. It could create more problems for you. It's just a piece of advice.

I really feel ur pain man. Some persons are just wicked and selfish. My younger brother came for his son some years back. But d girl refuse to give him d child saying she wants to train d child n d man should be sending money to her for upkeep. Meanwhile her own mum is taking care of his son child. Reason why they refuse to give my brother d child is because they believe since e stays abroad he has money. D mum said d only condition they will release d child is if my brother agreed to take her daughter to Europe then dey can release d child. They forget that if d father takes d child abroad it's still to their benefit but they refuse. My brother just jejely go back go focus on him other kids.
Now when this child grows up the mum will paint all pictures of the father as a bad man. Meanwhile most of them because of their selfish interest will not make their child progress. I just wish u d best

I feel your pain OP, your mother still remains the sure plug to locate your dad, look for an elderly man she respects, and tell him to ask her for more relevant information you need to find your dad.

BTW, have you ask her why she doesn't want you to meet him, it might be for your own good, she knows what you don't know, so persuade her very well and ask her, but if she gives you no tangible reply or a questionable answer(cos women would tell any form of lie against a man they hates), then never relent in the quest to find your dad. You and your dad got much semblance

Re: In Search Of Long Lost Dad by lifenajeje(m): 2:00pm On Mar 25, 2023
Ur mum's description of the company is a incorrect ..at that time there was no company on the Lagos Ibadan expressway ...

Since ur dad is a mechanical engineer I would show my dad his picture maybe he might know him

My father is also a mechanical engineer and I believe he should know him because mechanical engineers that fix heavy duty equipments weren't much ..

The companies back then we're in Apapa, Ebutte meta..Ikeja .yaba ..oregun...vi..mushin. ikorodu road
.

Maybe it's even ikorodu road ur mum was describing to u ..

Development has taken over .

People of his work status reside in ajegunle ..mushin ..orile ..oshodi..ikotun ..iyanaipaja..ikorodu ..mile 12, isolo , ejigbo..


They must have met in trainings organize d by UAC suppliers or caterpillar equipments back then for engineers or interviews etc

I hope my dad would recognize ur father ..
If it happens that they worked during same period .

First of all it's igbo not ibgo. Abi is there anything like ibgo in Ghana? There's a tribe in Nigeria called Igbo. Is your dad an igbo Man? Well , only your mom knows the real identity of your dad.

Bro only your mother can tell you who your father is, and she must tell you now that she's alive because if she does not, you will never know your father again..

And sorry about this, maybe your mother doesn't know your real father

Your Mummy is the surest key to locating your father, whether they float together well or not.
But, why is your mother threatening suicide for asking her to show you your own father? Does it mean she has something she did against your dad which she don't want to be exposed?
I hope it is not what I am thinking.
Good luck

Don't be too hasty in blaming the man now. @bolded, what if he can't even look? What if he doesn't even know there is a son of his somewhere. Don't you know that a man needs to be told he has a child (he's responsible for a pregnancy), else he may never know!!?

For now, the mother know somethings she's has refused to tell the son (OP). As long as this remains, the mother is to be blamed for all, as far as this paternity identity issue is concerned. The mother remains unfair, guilty and probable, untill she tell the son all the truth she knows about the father. OP, as long as your mom is still alive, you will need to continue to engage your mother till she first of tell you the whole truth about what truly transpire between her and your father. That is necessary before you even start making any attempts to find your father. Her confession will make you understand if there is even a father for you to look for. Do not continue this waste of your time, resources and energy on this taughtless venture. Restrategize on ways to get the truth about your dad from your mom.

First thing, you could hire a private investigator. A real professional not the hooligans on Nairaland. You have a picture of your father so that's a start. You also want to find the date and time where your dad met your mother. Perhaps they met at a hotel and there's a record of the people who checked in that you can possibly retrieve. If you know where your dad worked then you job is already half done. You could go to the company, if they're still in existence, and inquire about their staff record for so and so year. If they're existing, get a fake journalism badge and show it to them. Most companies would be greedy enough to want their brand on the headlines. They may even pay you a press fee. Once you find the name and most likely address of your father. You can trace its location. People in the area may know where he is. Many people live in an area for a long time. You would stand more of a chance, asking the landlord or the person that lived the oldest there. They might remember a thing or two enough to point you in the right direction. Until you can get his cell phone number. Once you do, the job is as good as done. Each cell phone logs the current location of the owner. Some even have a way to track the location. You could contact the network provider and state your case. All this will be done by a private investigator anyway.

Personally, i think it's more trouble than it's worth. If your father wanted you, he'd have sought you out. Most African fathers are bums so you would be better without them.

What if it was the man who severed all ties because the woman was cheating or something we don't even know. One thing is certain, the woman is trying to hide something. No woman wants to see her child suffer like that

Darling, I doubt if his son cheated on him as well . Unless if he's not his son but why would the woman keep claiming paternity till now? It would make a lot more sense to lie that he's dead, dont you think?

He will always feel like a barsterd. What kinda heartless beech! of a mother would witheld such important informations from a son? If she wants to ruin her life that is fine, but not mine, every child has a right to know who his parents are.

You forgot to include the men that came through and financially made it possible. Abi she was all on her own and wasn't getting any support from other men?

Also in your conclusion, a man is a dead beat even when the woman is cleary making sure he gets no access to his kid?

Re: In Search Of Long Lost Dad by Lifewasgood: 2:40pm On Mar 25, 2023
Your mother have skeletons in her cupboard, cos i don't see anything a man would do to her that we make her prevent an innocent child from knowing is biological father instead threatening to take the knowledge to her grave.

Your father being deadbeat is not enough reason to deny you the knowledge of his existence.

My street sense is painting some scenarios which might change the way you view your mother

1. You might be the product of a crime. She might have stole you from a nursing mother in Nigeria and ran to Ghana to evade justice.

2. She might have bought you from a baby factory

You have to start your search over again by knowing who your mother is, if you can lay hands on your original birth certificate (not affidavit) might help you know the town and hospital you were born.

Goodluck with your search but trust on one especially a mother who wants to go to the grave with the knowledge of her son's father.
Re: In Search Of Long Lost Dad by 2mch(m): 2:40pm On Mar 25, 2023
Your mother knows she’s not sure about who your father is. She’s afraid of being exposed. She must have had many men when she was young but in honesty you look like your father. Just tell her you don’t care if she was a cheat or even a prostitute. You want to know the truth. If she refuses to give more details you need to take drastic actions against her by cutting off for some time. See what Sanwo Olu babymama face at the hands of her son? She’s the one running up and down giving every detail she knows. It is pure wickedness to try to stop a child from knowing it’s root.
