Dear Nigerian husbands,
Carrying your baby for 15 minutes is not “help.”
Changing diapers is not “help.”
Taking your child to school is not “help.”
Those are not favours.
They are fatherhood.
Parenting is not a job you assist your wife with.
It is a responsibility you share.
Let’s be honest…
In most Nigerian homes today:
A. Parenting is truly shared
B. Mothers are still doing most of the work
Option A or B?
