A father allegedly refused to take his own daughter to the hospital after she was injured which made blood to flow to flow to her head. According to reports, the 8-year-old girl fell and hit her head on a concrete while playing causing blood to accumulate in her head and make it soft.

It was revealed that the girl's father refused to join those who wanted to take his daughter to the hospital days after the injury because it's a woman's duty to take a child to the hospital.

Olorunfunmi Adebajo shared the sad news online. Read below;

Why women? Rebecca one of our students had a very nasty fall. She tripped and hit her head on concrete while playing with her older sibling. We got to know 12 days later after she had bled into her scalp and the head was soft like hot puffpuff. The blood that accumulated in the head would fill a big cup.

While we panicked and sought for solutions, the father stated emphatically that he wouldn't go to the hospital with us since it's a woman's responsibility to take of a child. And that he can only release his phone so we can contact his wife. He wasnt being irresponsible. That is the mindset of a lot of the men in that community.

The wife in question had major scars and stitches on her face (reportedly given by her husband). But It wasn't even time to address the domestic violence.

Rebecca is fine now.

Thanks to Ayobami who raised money and went to the hospital with the mother and child everytime they needed to go. Thanks to Ajibulu Sam Hardeykunlay for the RedCross intervention.

I have several stories to justify women being more vulnerable in poverty situations especially due to archaic cultural norms.

Their traditions might not change today but we hope to change their world view one woman, one man, one girl and one boy at a time.

If your husband treats you so badly, why stay then. Marriage shouldn't be a do or die affair.

Well, low self-esteem is the main reason why most women endure toxic married life.

Too many derange humans

they could have quarreled over a pot of soup or an unflushed toilet...but does it really matter?

he told you he doesn't use harsh words on her and he loves her very much. i expected you to put in a few good words for him after that.

but it seems you weren't satisfied with the way he answered you.

He said not really?
Which could mean he uses some harsh words on her

Yh
We love our partners and say terrible stuffs
But the moment that partner reacts
We begin to react like chemicals



So he's doing what she doesn't like
She's doing wha he wouldn't like too

Doesn't that make it even

dropping wedding ring every time you quarrel with your partner is a silly way to react.

you're a woman, you have the aura to punish your man without getting physical. unless you never truly loved him.

i think snubbing and denying him sex is better.

when konji comes he'd kneel and beg and make funny promises.

Feminists be marching into the thread like Bosses...........

IMAGINE ur own child? nwa gi nwanyi, u feel that simply because u are male, it's not ur responsibility to take care of ur child?

where are all the alpha males on nairaland? you guys won't comment on this, but if it's a thread on chimamanda, you all will flood the thread screaming feminist.



You can imagine the mentality of most nigerian men?

sometimes I shudder at some of the comments they make on women, both outside and on nairaland.

MISOGYNISTS.

An irresponsible man again! Even being irresponsible to your child. Some parents are just devil.
