If you can shamelessly open your open and utter these words considering the pain they're going through, I can only ask God to have mercy on you. Before you type rubbish, please endeavor to read. As far as I'm concerned, a marriage that was divorced 30 years ago and the estranged father all of a sudden surfaced right now, deserves all the treatment he gets.

“Buwa and I were the product of a short and abusive marriage that ended almost 30 years ago. To a man with many other wives and children. Stella Oduah is the only father, mother, carer and provider that my brother has ever known. The Oduah family is the only Family that he has ever been part of and Akili Ozizo in Anambra state is the only hometown he has ever had.

“I called Mr Satchie and the Etoromi family to inform them immediately my brother passed. I offered flights, accommodation and special care for him or the representatives of the family throughout the funeral. I offered to build a relationship and have a new start.

“I was happy and optimistic. But i was wrong. Instead of asking about his dead son, he proceeded to use my brothers passing as an excuse to shamelessly insult my mother just like he is doing now, issue death threats and even ask for dowry from almost 30 years ago.

The statement reads, “I feel so heartbroken and distraught that during our time of mourning for my beloved brother, I have been reduced to issue a press statement against my biological father, Mr Satchie Etoromi.

Mykcool:
Some of you are here bringing culture/tradition into it, a father that only remembered he had a son after death. Is there any culture/ tradition that says a man should abandon or not take care of his kids. The children are even above 28yrs, isn't that old enough for them to know a substantial amount of the truth. It's now the man's family know he has children. I'm not saying he should insult his dad , but for the dad not to think it right to be part of his children's life, mehn that man deserves no respect

You dont know what you are talking about,I am talking of Anambra state, Aniocha LGA, your own side may be different. Their is an adage in my place that says that "ozo chio nwadiana o gbanaa igwu nne ye" meaning that if they persue a child in his fathers place he will run to his mothers kindred for integration. Nobody will ask them in the feature of all those things,they will bear the name of their mothers family. A rite will be performed on them by the kindred for assimilation, when they finish eating and performing the rite that is final

HungerBAD:
Just like that.

The man has just officially lost his children. And for this young man running his mouth,one day in the East he will be asked to "POINT OUT HIS FATHER'S HOUSE" there.

revolt:
he's a foolish boy. He doesn't know he's not from his maternal home. There are no utoromis there.

His mum did a poor job by letting her beef with the father affect the kids

My dad? Am not inviting him to my wedding for any reason. My dad is like that guy's father. I only call him when I hear he is sick (as his only son). He has never called me on phone. He doesn't give a dime about me. By the time I am done with school, I will change my surname. I know how he sees my mum. My mum always ask us to forgive him. That's why I can tell you that that man is only likely being mischievous. He told a clear lie that even a child can tell you is a lie.

Rexleo:
God bless you,accidentally the woman is the loser here.people think it is with money they raise kids.I have a very powerful secretary in my office, money influence and all what both.but I tell you she's lost all her kids due to something of this nature power ,money and fame.I pray it don't come to that for this ones.

eyinjuege:


And most importantly, fathers should step up and stop being sperms donors. Even if you've divorced your wife, take care of your children, ask after them always, check up on them regularly, send upkeep money for feeding and school fees as they won't feed on stone or air.
Don't leave the raising of your children to only their mothers.

tafabaloo:
Ok.

Too bad and un-african like.


Well, I'm not qualified to be a judge in this matter. However, I think that whatever cld hav transpired between ur parents shld hav better remained between them, especially if you can't bring the needed peace.

It would have been beautiful if the unfortunate passing of ur brother had been exploited to bring the two together and subsequently make peace. Sad enough, the matter grew from bad to worse, perhaps ,owing to poor handling .

Be that as it may , I just pray that,may you never be served the same plate you just extended to d man you described as your father.


What goes around surely comes around..... Meanwhile, how would you feel when you get this kind of feedback from one you called your son because I doubt if you are a bastard .

It's only someone who hasn't been through a fire would stand by the side advising another who's been hurt by the fire how he would gone through it without getting hurt. I don't want to delve into this but our people say, whoever brings ant infested firewood into his house should prepare to invite lizards to his home. Nothing further.

Young man; it is better for you to know that no matter how bad the man has been to you people, he remains your father and still have that authority over you. God put that in place, you may be toiling with a shortened life span, that's God's verdict. 'Honour your parents that your days may be long and be well with you'. My candid advice to you is: reconcile with him and treat him as your father, let him make positive pronoucement - blessing on you; if he utters the other one, it will also come to pass! A word is enough for the wise. Money can't replace your father, who is still alive!
