The undiluted truth.

The coach should never play him again!

Doku is their best player

If na you be the coach, u go keep away your best player for going to visit his wife who is giving birth to their first son...

You can never be a good coach

She was far gone but not in labour.

Whenever my wife's pregnancy clocks 7 months, I don pack both she and her load go mainland, so that my parents can look after her well.

On that day, they were even watching ZEEWORLD in the parlour and laughing ha ha ha ha like HYENAS.

Only for me to call her the next morning and she said she had put to bed. That's why I referred to it as "magical".

Oh! Okay.

We4all:
That's because you are an irresponsible dad. Oya, come and beat me.

I even think sey you go insult me self?

Irresponsible loun loun. I kinda like that name.

If Belgium missed a player like that
That means they are average team.
He is very very average
Nothing special about him

EPL best dribbler

Top 3 dribbler in the world

Call one player from the club you support that can be compared with him

There are actually fathers abroad fighting wars while their wife are in the labour room
In less than a month you would see your child
No need for all these shenanigans

Footballers are humans too

You wont get the best out of him if you dont allow him to go

how many years is the tournament taking ?

Let’s say coincidentally 15 players left because of same issue what will then happen?

When it's your turn, abandon your family because of job. Organizations now give their employees paternity leave, effective immediately the wife deliver, but this one thinks Doku should be different.

Loving and caring husband for sleeping, while your wife gave birth? Let's not go over that matter again.

Those of us that chose to support Arsenal know what we signed up for, so no shaking.
Arsenal will disappoint haters next season.

Tell me you are a Nigerian without saying I am a Nigerian na hin u do so o.

The situation of the country have messed up so bad that we rarely have basic empathy.

That's his first child and you are here asking if he is the doctor, again like I said, na Nigerian man u be so it is understandable sha

Why do I find this your comment so hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂.

The truth is Family is everything.

Start one and you'd understand.

Who said family isn't everything? There is a time for everything!

There are personal moments that are more important than football

Many world cups lies ahead but missing the birth of your first child wont happen twice

We have seen competitions canceled cos of covid et al

We ve seen players left competition due to serious family issues n returned to the team in a better state of mind. That's why each team came with 22 players

If employees can take a day or two off in other sectors for moments like this, I don't see why a footballer should be deny of such

Simps everywhere

imagine oooo. What's so special?I have a son too, if there were any thing paramount at the time of his birth, I will leave his mother in safe hands and return to them later. A man is not given to emotions. Millions of ppl came to the world without their father's around, either dead or not available. That single moment can not define the baby's life. Ok, he goes there, the wife delivers, he holds the baby and so what?he smiles and then return to the team?what if due to his absence, the country crashes out of the world cup?it's a selfish decision if you ask me.

ravensckar:
What a rubbish excuse!

Imagine a soldier saying he'll abandon his duties (and comrades) at the front line to witness the birth of his first child.

I was only fortunate to witness the birth of my first child because I was at home on that day. Even at that, the hospital staff sent me out at the crucial moment when I couldn't stop pacing around the ward.

But you see the birth of my second child, that one was magical. I woke up in the morning, turned on my phone and called my wife to ask after her. And she casually announce to me that she had put to birth. I thought she was joking until the messages started flying in. Apparently, she put to bed in the middle of the night while I was snoring away my tiredness (from work).

Child birth is a wonderful moment no doubt, but a soldier must never abandon his duty post or his comrades at the front line.

Ogbeni, since when did a game and hobby where people are kicking a ball around become the same as war? Now I see why Poco destroyed you the last time. Which kind thing be this?

Rubbish , if you ask me.

Calm down first before you attack me o.

She was on the mainland (with my parents). I had already called her that night and we've said the usual good night, love you, bla bla bla.

Normally, I don't leave my phone on whenever I want to go to bed. Not even on vibration or silence mode. Because the slightest sound will wake me up and I won't be able to fall back to sleep.

Shey you don understand me now ba? Before you think sey I no be caring husband.

#Picks_tooth

buh you kno that's not ideal. Switching your phone completely off. What if there is an emergency?you are in danger and you need to be reached or a loved one is in a dire situation and you attention is needed?

yousouph07:
How is this hard. This is his first child we are taking about.

first child. So what? I don't get it. Is it that the child will not be born if he is not there or what? The wife is not dying for goodness sake. I am a first son, my father was away when I was born and I do not have an iota of reservation or hate or whatever about that. It doesn't matter in the scheme of things. I have a son too and he is my first. So chill with the 'u don't know how it feels' sermon

If I were him, I would wait, score goals and dedicate them to the child. This guy doesn't really sound like a man.

Mariangeles:
So, you turned off your phone while your wife was in labour about to birth your second child? No wonder it was "magical" for you.

Reading most of these comments made me realize why most deadbeat fathers are among Black people.

It's a pity.

Laughs hysterically, any time you quote me and you no mention that name, I go don know sey dem hack your account.

If you never press her brezz before on top all this famzing, e go pain me gan ni. You'll now look like spanner the humble servant.

Back to the topic, when he was selected for the World Cup, I'm sure he knew it would probably coincide with the time his wife will put to bed. Why didn't he opt out? So, now that the tournament has started, it suddenly dawned on him that he needs to be there to witness the birth of his first child. What a joke!

Secondly, since when did it become a man's responsibility to be there when the wife is putting to bed? Abi Doku head no correct ni?

Whilst we all know that football isn't war, but the opportunity to represent ones country shouldn't be trivialized. Doku should act as a professional and stop craving cheap attention.

Bros, all die na die.

If I'm in danger in the middle of the night and I couldn't be reached, I'll accept my fate. Same goes for my loved ones too. Me I just can't leave my phone on while I sleep.

I have a very delicate sleep pattern; I find it hard to fall back asleep if anything ever disrupts my sleep.

Everyone who is close to me knows this, so they don't even bother to call me in the middle of the night because I won't be reachable. Night even far, during the day self, there are times that I'll switch off my phone if I want to rest.

I'd rather die once (at the appointed day & time) than to die slowly due to lack of sleep.

He's looking for cheap attention.

The mumu said he wants to be there when the baby is born. Man for that matter o! He wants to be the first to hold and bath the newborn.

Na this man him pregnant wife go send make him go buy fish from red sea because that's what she's craving.

@ Mariangeles



Some time ago I posted a comment in a thread where I mentioned that I was nervous on the day my wife gave birth to our first child. My elder sister who was taking the delivery asked me to leave because I was distracting her.


A female Nairalander replied to my comment and said that I should be more courageous and stay with my wife next time, as my presence would be a source of encouragement to her. I don't know if you were the one who mentioned me that day. I can't remember the moniker.

I am also one of those who do not believe that men's presence does anything differently. It's not wickedness but how they have made men's presence a condition of being manly beats me.

Historically, fathers and regular men were strictly excluded from the birthing room, which was considered a sacred, private female space. Women were in charge of the pregnancy delivery before doctors took over from them. That's the role of midwives.
Because society was highly conservative, a man looking at or touching a laboring woman was considered scandalous. That's when we had clearly defined men roles and women roles. Men's was to provide. How many women gave birth while their husband was away fighting for his country and he wasn't called a bad man for missing it but this new modernism is making people confused.

Before modern medicine interfered with the birth process, men were only called into a birth during a dire, life-and-death emergency. If a baby was severely stuck and the female midwife could not deliver it, a male barber-surgeon was summoned. Because they lacked anatomical training in childbirth and did not yet have forceps, their role was usually tragic, they used crude surgical tools to sacrifice the baby in order to save the mother's life. Rather than train them, they were phased out to make birthing a more complex process. Childbirth evolved from a home-based, female only, midwife-attended process into a highly medicalized hospital process

Some women still go the water birth and different methods and I am not going to stay here and say doctors are not necessary. I'm just saying childbirth has been the most common process mammals, all mammals have been through for years.


https://www.tiktok.com/video/7231399315187485994



Back to your message, the historical norm was complete banishment of men from the process. When births happened at home, the father's job was to boil water or wait outside. When birth moved to hospitals in the early 20th century, fathers were restricted to hospital waiting rooms. They were viewed by medical staff as a source of infection and an unnecessary distraction. Some argue that having the man there helps to reduce the mother's stress etc but I have to admit that it is an abuse and another trick by modern women to feminize men into doing everything with them in what they define as a MAN.

Who are the critics? The reporter must've been thinking and reacting awkwardly.
