A US-based Nigerian software engineer and Facebook influencer, Daniel Tanimawo addressed his audience on how to treat deadbeat and absent fathers.
Sharing his controversial view on his Facebook handle, he captioned, “If your biological father abandoned you when you were young, abandon him when he’s old. Give him a taste of his own medicine”.
In another supportive post, he reiterated, “Any man who abandons his children for selfish reasons doesn’t deserve to see them for the rest of his life. Repay evil with evil. I support it.”
Although many faulted his tit-for-tat reprisal, arguing that absent or not, he’s their father regardless and would be treated right, many agreed with him stating that they hold no forgiveness in their hearts for their unavailable dads.
Read some of the contrasting comments:
TOnia OkafOr :
Simple. Old age and toddlers age are almost if not same. The old become adult babies.
Odekanmi Mary Ifedolapo Awodele: I can never do that! No matter what! I don’t pay evil with evil. I can never have money and my own blood is suffering even if not my blood.
Ann Modestus: Hmmmn….Then the cycle will keep repeating itself. Let love lead!
Chidimma Okpara: This is an open letter to all the run away fathers so that they don’t ask God why when the time comes. Life gives you exactly what you sow.
Ezihe Oluchukwu Peace: It’s already happening. I love the Gen Z already because , no be your medicine you go taste na their own you go drink
