The man spared the rod, thereby spoiling the child............the blame shouldnt be the woman's only becos it is the responsibility of both parents to train their kids...........I remember when I was a teenager, I wanted to attend a bachelor's nite taking place opposite our house but my parents said NO but allowed my brothers to go, I felt bad about it but they stood their ground...........Dad said you arent going and mum supported him......parents should work in one accord to train their kids............
Well said sis, and also, if you refer to the court's directives - I quote
"The court had in 2010 dissolved the 16-year old marriage between Ojo Ogidan and his former wife, Moji, who has remarried, and directed the man to take custody of three children from the union".
If he is man enough, given the court's directives he should have done all he could to better children instead of abandoning them. Blaming the woman is just lame. He must have abandoned the children out of hurt bcos the xwife remarried - he is just not letting go. You don't abandon children for any reason at all. If you show them love and care no matter how bad they had become they will not call you useless in the public. In as much as the bible said honour your father and mother, the bible also warned parents not to upset the children. As far as am concerned the man dropped the ball that was in his court.
