WHY DO WE HAVE MANY IRRESPONSIBLE FATHERS IN OUR GENERATION?

    Illegal separation is now a norm in our country, Nigeria. It has now become an easy escape for some fathers from responsibility for the wellbeing of their wives and children. For those who care for the difference between illegal separation and divorce. In my own understanding, illegal separation is when a father leaves home illegally and leaves the care of the family in the hands of his wife. It simply means escaping from the responsibility of the welfare of your wife and children.  Most times, the man cohabits with another lady outside thereby leaving his family to suffer. Divorce is legal separation between two partners, making the man to still be responsible for the wellbeing of the family after the separation. This is mostly practised in developed countries.
     In my African continent, divorce is very low but illegal separation is very high. You see a man leaving his wife and children for years without caring for them thereby leaving them in suffering and abject poverty. Most women in Africa especially Nigeria do bring up their children to adulthood without the fathers. This kind of separation is evil and devilish. If you want to leave your wife, go to the court and take legal action. Even though I am not an advocate of divorce, but I think illegal separation is more evil and devilish. It's really unfair to the mothers of this generation.
    Many children have become "agberos", area boys, prostitutes, drug dealers and uneducated because of this devilish act. I think that is the reason Moses allowed a man to issue certificate of divorce before dismissing his wife. He knew of the hardness of hearts of humans. Even our Saviour testified of this. The law of the land should intervene in this matter and makes every man responsible for the wellbeing of his family after leaving home illegally. This will curb crimes and devices in our country and Africa as a whole.
    Fatherhood is very important. It's not just attained by being a sperm donor but by responsibility. This write up has been burning in my heart for a while now, I am relieved for writing it. I am advocating for the fathers of this generation to be responsible.  #LOVE COACH#
