I was raised by a single mother because men like you don't want to swallow the bitter pill called the "truth" about yourself... Please, don't bring my mom into this topic, if you have anything to say, direct it at me. Since you seem to know much about the truth and Noah in the Bible, please prove your point. Tell us more, perhaps I may learn something new.

SlayerSupreme:

Granted Oduah may not be a model wife,did the boy do a bad thing by informing his estranged father about his son's death,even though the man has being absent? Why did the stupid man go to the media to disgrace himself after 30 years? Was that the best course of action,at his age? You people are only saying this because the woman is rich and from a particular place. Shio!!!

StOla:
Some fathers are useless, I don't blame the boy 1 bit.

Will Jamaal the son of Tiwa ever be proud of his useless father?

Was Ryan Giggs not born as Ryan Wilson? Yet he rejected the useless name of a useless father, and embraced his mother's name declaring himself to be his mother's child. Boy, did he make that name proud.

There are some things you don't spew on public forum.

true and while there are many irresponsible fathers, there are also many instances wher the father has tried to do his bit but the children have been so poisoned by their mother they want nothing to do with him. You know men generally don't talk, so kids tend to take what their Mother says as truth in the absense of the father's version.

I have a female colleague at the moment who is seperated from her husband, the husand does not know where she or his kids live. She showed me a text where ke was asking when and where he can see his kids, I keep telling her don't do this to your children, she never listens. When oy is time for school fees she will remmemver he is their father and be complaining that this man is late for fees. The choice of words she uses when talking about the father of her children to me a colleague, I can only imagine what she says to the kids. I look at her many times and think to myself you are cerainly a bad mother and perhaps a bad wife even though clearly the husband has issues but ofcourse i dare not tell her or she will chop my head. Those children will grow up thinking their father abandoned them. When in fact the mother refused access. I suspect one of the reasons she is refusing access and doesn't te;; the husband where she lives is because she is seeing someone....she had confided in me


I also know someone who resents her mother because she later in life found out that all the negative stories she told her about her Dad were false, the man is dead now.


Keep your sh*it away from your kids


Ironically she comes froma broken home herself rinse repeat the pyschological danage.

There is no bridge that money can't tear apart..the young man has to choose between his billionaire mum and his thousandnaire retired military pensioner father...your guess is as good as mine he chooses his mums wealth over his dad's blessings .

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.

Pidggin:


Your mate are talking about becoming the next Mark Zuckerberg you are here bothering about whether a stranger you don't know can become an Igwe. I don't know you but I think you need help

lanjum:
If the marriage ended some 30 years ago, how then are u able to know who is wrong or right? how old were u then? However, am happy you called yourself a BASTARD cos u dont have the right under any law or religion to address your father like that

iOluwaMichael:
I don't know about their culture, neither do I know the cause of their divorce, but I think the burial of the son should have been organised by the family of the Father.

Pls do not trivialize this discussion. What has tribe or where she comes from get to do with the boys action. Is oduah the first famous political figure from that region? Pls do not derail this thread.
The boy can tell his father that his brother died but that doesn't make it official. Traditionally there are official channels of communication especially in cases like this. Why bury him in the mother's place if it wasn't to prove a point. Why not bury him in a cemetry wherever he died. Cases like this abound where women take custody of children and get them brainwashed. No good mother does that but, you wouldn't expect more from a serial divorcee whose kids have dffrnt fathers. That's the point here. Nobody cares about where she comes from or who she is.

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.

Denying ur father is like denying ur God who created you.

carmag:


try and understand the logic where culture comes in.. that when ever he wants to nurse a political ambition or any other public office in Igbo land that is when he'll be reminded he's not son of the soil..i e he will be disqualified and told he's from Delta

Austindumas1:

and denying your children is like denying your what?
chill with that stupid comment, only he who wears the show knows were it hurts him, I can quite relate a lot with this guy, I'm 19 yrs old a second level university student,since my parents divorced 17 yrs ago, my dad had never contributed, financial, emotionally, not just in anyway to my growth, we don't see, we don't talk. I've occasionally run into him in my school,cause he works there he couldn't even answer my simple greetings, some Father's ain't shit believe me, if you are lucky to have a good one,thank your stars and adore him too






mind yo occasionally runned into him, he couldn't even answer my simply greetings,

victorazy:


Yet he never ceased to be ur father. He has his reason too. Some mothers have way of poisoning our minds towards our father but someone like me has COMMON SENSE.

For ur info. I've never been with my father since 3yrs (was told by my grand mother who trained me) but iam looking forward to hug him any day no matter how he treated me.


Continue to show him how matured and civil u r now, don't let the selfish interest or influence of ur mother deter you.

I learned something from American singer Nelly and I know u know him too
His father never cared about him and his siter, he suffered to survive yet he looked for his wayward father and brought him back.

"Denying ur father is like denying ur creator.
Denying ur child is like denying ur existence"

steadyguy101:


what the hell are you talking about?
you are offering flight ticket to ur father to come bury his son at his ex wife's place?
do you have any culture at all?
the boy should have been planning on how to bring the poor boy's corpse to his father's home town.

NONSENSE!!

Am sorry if am I make you angry
The day you know the truth, you will forgive your father
Only smart woman protects her home
Even when the father is wrong
Noah cursed his child that dominated Africa

sisisioge:
See all these sanctimonious folks! Guy said their mother alone was the "father and mother" they had growing up. She and hers were the only family they knew. Why would the man want the dead son now that he's no more? Where was he while the boy needed a father? Abeg, free the young man, its too late for the baba to start claiming father. A true father is the man who was there to help groom the kids into adults, he didn't do that. Let everybody kala their maamu.
