Happy Fathers Day!! 3 Places Our Nigerian Fathers Have Failed Us by Ruggedfitness: 7:36pm On Jun 18, 2017
Hello guys its your favorite health blogger Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor

I remember taking 30 minutes to craft a message just to send to my father in the morning. It was a herculean task, but by God's grace I scaled through and sent him something that warmed his heart (and no, I was not asking for money... hahhaha)..

Our Nigerian Fathers give us the best, especially mine, giving me the best education he could afford and making sure I live like a big man's son during my days (by God's grace I was)... But in 3 places our Nigerian fathers have not given us the best. They have tried hard but failed to keep up and help be productive in this 3 places.

Here are the 3 reasons or places Our Nigerian Fathers Have Failed Us

1. Life After Education

How many of you grew up believing Education was the key to getting the best out this world and when I say best I don't mean in the sense of knowledge but in the sense of employment and a happy life. Our parents encouraged us to be our best at school so that we could hit the best jobs, but unfortunately some first class graduates have to hold placards and beg for jobs on the street.

Our Nigerian fathers failed to educate us about life after school. About what waits for us immediately we get out of the educational system. We had to face the harsh realities ourselves and learn that life is not what we were brainwashed to believe.

2. Sex

If you father sat you down and taught you sex education, please raise up your hand!!. Well, many Nigerian Fathers never mention it not to talk about teaching it.

Most of us found out about sex through peers, by ourselves or through the media and we were built on different beliefs which we hold firm today. Presently, everything in the country is becoming sexual oriented, the people, the media, the clothing, the language etc.

3. Marital Counsel

Sorry about the grammar, I meant marriage advice. Nigerian fathers don't follow the scripture in Proverbs 22:6 but wait till his children starts dating or hunting for a wife before giving their advice, before telling their son what is right and what is wrong. How to take care of a woman and what else is required..

Meanwhile, the son has already grown up with different beliefs about marriage, an idea of the woman he could like to spend his life with and he has designed his own way to do things maritally which might have been influenced by his beliefs, peer pressure, society, women or even FitnessDoctor himself.

In these 3 places Nigerian fathers have not done enough. But we still love them because they strive to give us the best. I hope this article will make all hoping to be, soon to be and already made Fathers give more to their children that will make them live a better life..

Stay Healthy, Stay Wise

My Dad gave seriously opinion about the third point. I can never forget his instructions.

He let me when I need him the more.
