Ask his wife.

Scenario 1:
She clearly have made him a servant and his children followed her footsteps.


Scenario 2:

He is not the father of those children. He is impotent

Bluehill1051:
Why don't you help him sometimes?
In my own opinion, you're worse than those children. It is your type that will rather take photos of a dying person than actually saving them.

haba!!! Are you writing with your brain or hand? Why should he when his children are there?

I hope some of our digital Nairaland parents learn from this..

Even a wayward child still has some senses

People who does house chores like that always live longer. The man is indirectly doing his daily exercise

osuofia2:

OP you must be mad... Must you call the name of the tribe before passing your message?
Why not pass your message without tribe shaming, or if you have anything against idoma as a tribe pls come out clear

You are taking it personal oga! I am sure he doesn't mean it that way. Just let him know if such behaviour is also not acceptable in Idoma, chikenah!

YOU CANT ENJOY THE CHILDREN YOU REFUSE TO TRAIN

THAT MAN IS CURSED. HE MAY NEVER REST BECAUSE HE DID NOT RAISE THOSE CHILDREN UP TO BE USEFUL FOR HIM TALKLESS FOR THE SOCIETY.

ANYONE THAT MARRIES ANY OF SUCH CHILDREN MAY ALSO NEVER REST, WHAT A GENERATIONAL CURSE

Mind your business UNLESS the man requests for your assistance, then you could ask him why he does all these manual labor when he has grown up children living with him.

Galaticos444:
he shud mind his business to evil

I don't why many Nigerians abuse or misuse the words, not considering that mind your business has led many people to their early grave

I've been staying with my brother like two weeks now and I also notice that their landlord and the wife are the ones doing all the house chores ranging from sweeping the compound, cooking food going to the market washing dishes and laundry, fetching water although na mel-ruwa while they have two grown up daughters that doesn't do anything except waiting for 6pm to put on their generator.

Hahahaha!

I loved the "Digital Nairaland Parents" part.

I guess that was the way he treated his parents when he was a child. Who knows his parents cursed him and he is reaping the effect of the curse.

That family is under a curse. Listen to Apostle Joshua Selmans Message on DOMINION OVER CURSES AND THE MYSTERY OF DELIEVERANCE PART FOUR. You will understand better

Are you sure u re not one of those 6 useless fools? U expect him to help the old man while your kinds re busy roaming around lyk goats.

My grandma is now 123yrs old last January

I asked her on her birthday what makes her grow to this age?

And here is her reply

" I always mind my business"

MINDING ONE’S BUSINESS IS A SCARCE VIRTUE

Some men r like that they r hardworking they love to get shit done dmselves
My dad fetches water for the whole house early in d morning... Said he needs to do exercise... He in his late 60s
That's d only tin he will do as household chores
Wats strange is Bein comfy sitin n watching him swear n work while u gist
NOW THAT BAD

That is not normal

Sometimes, to each their own. If he derives joy and satisfaction doing chores to keep himself busy, who are we to judge, regardless of the tribe!!

you deserve to be flogged

That's not an idoma thing its either he did not train the children well or the wife cast a spell on him, certainly smtin is wrong somwere.

I ll advise u relate with any of the sons DT u think has small sense abt it in a nice way. I pity the old man.

Some people will never mind their business.

Kindly mind ur business since u aren't related to them so u wont start using chloroquine for another person's covid 19. The man is actually reaping his failure as a father and the children won't also be useful for themselves going forward since they lack proper upbringing. Dont ask me how i know the man failed. Its just unusual for all children to be irresponsible

Rubbish talk!

In your mind, you've said something reasonable abi?

I don't know why my mind is telling me that the Papa's destiny has been tied by his wife. She's locked the man tighter than a skunk's ass

Plead:


Beat them up for? All this beat beat mentality.

90% of Nigerian guys/men won’t last upto 1 year in America or Europe before being thrown into prisons. Y’all have a very fvcked up mentality about every sphere of your life.

Lol, na lie ooo, na for here them dey flex muscle, once dem enter yankee, them dey behave one time.

Number 4 after all the advice but I strongly agree with you though.

veave:
You're an adult......
1. You can call them aside especially the boys and advice them one on one.

2. Start chooking the children word small small. Make it public where people are at least shame go catch them.

3. You can talk to their mother, put fear in her body. Tell her the too much work will kill her husband fast and she'll be a widow.

4. Mind your business.

I strongly advise that you go with number 4. Thanks

Micky002:
There is this scenerio i usually observe with my landlord and his children which always makes me curious and also raises unanswered question within me. This prompt me to post this here.

My landlord is idoma by tribe and has six grown up children, three boys and three girls. He should be in his late fifties or early sixties. Here is the issue.

This man despite having grown up boys and girls always do his chores by himself while the children will be lazying around engaging in trivial discussions. This man will wash his clothes by himself while his girls, the youngest being twenty years of age will be chatting with friends in the compound. This man will go to fetch water with kegs using a wheel barrow every morning while the boys will sit outside doing nothing.

Meanwhile the water he fetches is used by every member of the house. This man can go up to three to four trips while the boys will be busy arguing about Manchester United and Chelsea with friends.

What baffles me the most is that they see nothing wrong in this because the man doesn't complain and his wife, their mother is also witnessing everything.

My question now is, is this an acceptable norm in their (Idoma) culture? For a father to be doing the house chores while the children will be playing. I'm asking because where I come from, it is unacceptable.

It is unacceptable where I came from too, this is why it is good to carry out back ground check and understand the culture of whoever you want to marry to avoid culture shock. Imagine that you marry an Idoma only to discover this.

Has the man been to america before becsuse that is American lifestyle for you.

Spoilt children everywhere.

Nonsense.

No go buy market for wetin no concern you.
