Let him be for some more months. Give it more time, he's going to miss you and when you reach out try to tell him about your achievement however little they may be. Also apologize to him for your own part of the trouble, doesn't matter if he was the architect of the whole problem. Remember, he's still your dad.

Take this from someone who didn't speak to his dad for some 7 months or so.

I will advise against going to see him now especially if he doesn't have any illness. Trust me, he's going to say something that will provoke you and you will respond because you inherited his temper.

When you allow him miss you, he's going to mind his speech because he would have realized your importance in his life.
Nigerian parents would only miss him if he has money or the only child

If otherwise, i don't think they'd miss him to the extent that they'd avoid to offend him

This is the first topic i have created since i joined this forum.
For a while now, my mind has been restless, i haven't spoken to my father since i left his house on January 5 2023. We had an argument and i left some days later. I wasn't angry when i left, i just wanted to give him space and find my own way as a man. Though I'm his first born son and his exact replica but we are so different and share very different views.
Some days ago, i called him and was very angry at me and ended the call before i could say anything and he has refused to pick up my calls since then.
I really don't understand why he's angry at me or why he's not taking my calls but i have decided to stop calling him and let him be.

Please any positive advise,will be greatly appreciated.
brother try and settle things with your dad, it is very important and e get why. Before is to late.

You really need to humble yourself like the prodigal son, it's a good step to want to find your own footings as a man but it's a greater privilege to do with the blessings of your parents. Find a way to forgive him, go home, pay your respect & tell him your plans .no matter how angry Dad maybe, he'll appreciate your humility. I wish you all the best

I don't know why fathers are been arrogant these days, is it the buhari effect or what? Men who are getting older should be peaceful and tolerant but the reverse is the case. If you don't have peace on earth, how can you have peace in heaven or wherever you find yourself. Me wey never go half have learnt to have peace of mind no matter what. Nothing sweet pass peace of mind and internal joy. Just that brokenness is painful some times

I haven't spoken to my father for more than 5 months. Probably going to a year now and even before the last time we spoke, it took over 2 years or more before I called him.

We had family issues, though it's past now. But e no fit be like before

There's no need of calling him
Go and visit him at home.

There's nothing like you were not angry when you left the house, nobody would take that even if it was few days after the missing understanding.
You should have waited a month or more b4 leaving.
I guess you left without even telling him, come to think of it
You must have grown some wings

Please knee down while apologizing oo

try using text messages.

Hes always adamant to my position on things but text messages or WhatsApp messages has been doing wonders since I discovered.

My own Dad right now is annoying me! He trained me yeah and I have been getting jobs on my own but recently the Chinese I work with ask me to take a rest. I got a new place that pays well but they want me to be mobile to do airport pick up for new chinese client trooping into the country and others. I'm begging this man called my father to support me with one is his excess cars he is not using. He refused to this date and I haven't been able to get another job. He is worth over 800million but he wont even lend u 1million. He is very annoying! Im not entitled to his money like I sound but if you are in my shoes as a son u will understand my grievance . I can't wait to secure a deal and throw that money he is micing being stingy with on him as dash! I hate nonsense..d family is down at the moment because the blessed head is just keeping the glory to his lineage of himself not uplifting us below him

Lolz , a day will come you will regret not talking to him , one thing I have come to realise about this life is this YOU DONT AND WONT KNOW THE VALUE OF WHAT YOU HAVE UNTIL YOU LOSE IT
when he is dead and gone , you will cry and cry just to hear his voice or even apologize to him but that chance would never come back again

No matter what, a father who saw you up regardless, is your best male friend. In some cases, shitz hit the fan through......

Bros when you get to your father's age you Will understand.
My advice is
Go to your father. Not phone call.
Get a wine (the type your father like)
Give him the wine and apologize
He may insult you (take the insult he is your father and he mean well for you, he may not know how to communicate it. But he means well)
The truth is you don't know the benefits you are enjoying as your father is alive ( whether he is rich or not)

Go and see him and apologize if you have to. Not because you are wrong, but because he is your father and he will not be worth you forever.
When you become a father, you'll understand better

Thanks bro, i will definitely try and visit him soon.
I'm willing to give just about anything to be with my dad again. Best man I could ever ask for. We had our few little rough moments but I cherish him even in death.
I'm glad we had a wonderful relationship. Wish I could have done more before his demise.

One word for op, swallow your pride and mend fence with you daddy. You will blame yourself bitterly when he is no more here

Re: I Haven't Spoken To My Father In 5 Months by Sltp: 3:38pm On May 08, 2023
I have serious beef with my parents for birthing me. Sometimes I go a long time without talking with any of them especially when I'm outside of the country - I've stayed two years on two occasions. When I travel, they don't have my number but when I'm back and my number starts going, they start calling me. Happens whenever I change country then back to Nigeria then we start talking. I know they're concerned but I don't care.

I try to help them out whenever I can but I don't take it as my responsibility. Going by NY personal life, I'm not the best person to advice you in this situation because I will only tell you to tell him "to hell with you" Bleep you!

You're seeing things from one dimension many people are not willing to look at this issue from.

Sometimes, a cup of garri is better to some family members than some people simply because they're broke.

Many people claim to have left their father’s house but are still there mentally.
Anybody that doesn’t want to talk you, does not need to be talked to.
I know fathers who have nothing other than bad things to say or do and they are always right.
The african attitude of loving and killing your self for family is one of the reasons why people don’t progress compared to those who remain stuck in the past.
So if you had been in a country with a different time zone this is the drama you people will be acting and you will also travel down, take leave from your job to go visit a man that doesn’t want to see you.

Oga go and apologize to him. Even though he would wish you back, he would not apologize because African men have ego. So save him the situation and apologize to him. The more time you waste, the more complicated it becomes.
