Where Are Their Father's? by Celestialsword(op): 5:31pm On Jul 23, 2025
Elumelu's mom is 97years
Otedola's mom is 103years
Jonathan's mom is 88years
Saraki's mom is 99years
Dangote's mom is 90years

Where are their father's, Long gone in most cases.

Food for thought

Treat yourself well, they will survive without you

What are you trying to say? That we shouldn't care for our parents in their old age?!


MODIFIED:

He didn't mention men any where in the message he was trying to pass. If he did please show me. Hence, it wasn't gender specific. Which of course is not a good communication.

So, in essence a man will outlive his wife simply because he runs away from his responsibility of taking care of his family? How does a responsible man care for his family while neglecting himself?

men should take care of themselves, because many men struggled and laboured for the family upkeep and they didn't get the rewards

They were stressed up and most of them died before their wives.

When the man has passed on, those he left behind will still survive and become somebody in life.

The Irony of it all ,is that it's the woman that now enjoy the fruits of the man's labour.

So,men should wise up and always take care of themselves, when the load is too heavy, they should please drop it.

You didn't have to explain all that to the agbado agent. They always rush to comment without reading and understanding.

men should learn to drop the excess luggages

Celestialsword:

But their partners are adamant to share and balance the luggages with them due to marriage rule laid down by our forefathers that men are the head of their family, therefore they should shoulder all responsibilities.
Re: Where Are Their Father's? by erad(m):
Do you know the age difference between husbands and wives back then?

Must every nonsense be farmed for engagement?

Edit: People need to realize most women at that time were full housewives. The husbands took most of the risks in the name of looking for source of livelihood.

Also, the men back then lived every day like it was their last. They had fun as much as they worked and sometimes to the extreme.

Lastly, some of those women frustrated their husbands to death. They are old now and look so fragile and innocent, but their dead husbands will beg to differ.
Re: Where Are Their Father's? by fasho01(m):
Honestly as men we need to take care of ourselves cos as in that dettol advert, if we don't take care of ourselves, who will🤷🏾‍♂️

Mothers are so pampered that they have numerous mother's days. Men, a word is enough for the wise ooo

Nigerian husbands are walking corpses. The pressure on most naija husbands is heavier than a Mack truck
Re: Where Are Their Father's? by Bar1941(m): 10:13pm On Jul 28, 2025
If you are a man reading this, you need to take care of yourself ooo.

Fathers were the ones that worked like machines to make the money, protect and care for the family but they either leave too early or hardly remembered!

May God help men oooo!
Re: Where Are Their Father's? by Focusmind: 10:13pm On Jul 28, 2025
As a man, if you don't want to take care of yourself, na you sabi. The pressure and demands of the society are already stacked against us. Don't over do yourself all in the name of providing for your children and unborn kids. Be selfish and indulge yourself on things you like, that may likely prolong your life. Spend that money and get yourself quality fruits all the time, eat healthy, exercise, go out solely and enjoy yourself. Slow down and take it easy. If your body is not strong for any hustle, shelve it and regain your mojo and health before anything. Finally, if you don't have the means to cater for a family, don't marry yet, or better, postpone it till you are better prepared, financially. Financial stress and pressures have ruined many young men in their quest to meet up with the demands of the family.
Re: Where Are Their Father's? by Marvyx(m): 10:13pm On Jul 28, 2025
Bro I literally thought about this today. A man dropped dead in the office building I work in. He had 6 children, wasn't up to 45. High blood pressure like we were told.

I honestly don't know what men gain from marriage if they can't even live long enough on earth.

Re: Where Are Their Father's? by datola: 10:14pm On Jul 28, 2025
Almost everybody is the child of their mother not of their father. Always my mommy my mommy even though the father might be going through hell to build the family.

And some say it's a man's world. Indeed!

Re: Where Are Their Father's? by Luckysbab: 10:14pm On Jul 28, 2025
If only you don't mean enjoyment in the light of drinking and fornicating and the likes.

Re: Where Are Their Father's? by RevenuesBoost(f): 10:15pm On Jul 28, 2025
I spoke about this last week with hubby.

Hubby asked, why do women in most cases live longer than men.
I answered, the woman exercises herself from morning till evening.

He asked how, I said, I'm an example.

If I am not working online, I'm cooking or sweeping or doing the dishes or laundry or cleaning the house or baby-sitting.
It's always from one work to the other.

A man doesn't do much exercises.
Most men that exercises, have young looks and live longer.

This is food for thought.

The men usually came first and older.

They won’t see this one. The reason why they don’t live long is due to their own reckless but instead they’d rather blame women.

It’s women that tell them to go for checkup, to stop smoking and drinking.


It’s the machismo culture among men that gets them killed. They think being a man involves sucking up their problems and not seeking help.

May God bless and help all the fathers in the house,I pray when it's time to enjoy the fruit of our labour, we shall not be found wanting, the hustle no easy at all,
