Famous Nollywood actor, Gideon Okeke has criticised women who keep their kids away from their fathers after they divorce, urging them to “be humane”.
Taking to his Instastory to make this assertion, Gideon stated that it was after he and his wife got divorced that he realised many divorced men are being “punished” by their ex-wives who make it difficult for them to have a relationship with their children.

@___abims: “What about a Man that has full access to his kids lives nd still choose to stay away coz he has a beef with their Mother??”
@dericfashion: “If the man choose to deprive the Kids of his Fatherly duties or not being responsible for them. He can aswell kiss goodbye to being their Father. You can’t leave a woman to shoulder the responsibility alone and you push your d**k forward to being a Father. Being a father pass na me born them.”
@meetemmanueljacob: “As long as the man is not a deadbeat dad, he deserves every right to be involved in the life of his children.
It’s wrong for you break the bonds between your children and their father just because you guys are no more together.”
@churchill_777: “A generation that thinks they are wiser than our parents. Divorce rate is increasing because this days, women are rubbing shoulder with men..Men can’t accept their own flaws. Everyone is now right so long as they find quotes on the internet to justify their stupidities. So many people are copying the shits on social media and bringing into their homes…there is no submissiveness, there is no love..it’s either love for money or LUST for body and looks…the whole initial butterflies in the belly eventually turns to the worst snake in the roof….THIS GENERATION IS A BIG MESS..I just wish the days of our parents could resurface again, they enjoyed marriage and knew what love was…not nowadays anymore.”
@ocyyy_fashion: “The best way most african man belives he can deal with his ex is by not taking care of their kids , cus most belive that onces dey do the burden on the woman would lessen… What do u expect wnen u treat an ex nd ur kids that way…. Anyways God bless those men that still shows up for their kids despite all,, dey are innocent when una dey mekwe dem nor dey dere, so by hook or by crook put ur grievances aside nd focus on the kids”
