I think he's divorced. He looks sad

talina: This is adorable! No,this actually makes him MORE of a man!He loves his family and is right in there helping out and doesn't care what anyone else thinks!My interpretation anyways

Chinom: That's really nice. But i no fit do am. Kudos to the man. He should save the pic for the child when he or she grows up.

WhyAWhy: [size=18pt]There are many men on this forum who are 1 cent worth of a man. I wonder what you think a man is.

Possibilities
1. His wife is cooking in the kitchen while he needs to do a quick laundry. Kitchen environment is not too good for a baby's respiratory health
2. His wife has gone to the market/is ill and he wants to save her from the trouble of carrying the baby around.

infact, you people should get a life! Sometimes i feel ashamed of being a man hearing the way some men think. What's wrong in this for crying out loud?!![/size]
[size=14pt]It takes more than having a pendulum to be called a man!!![/size]

Don't mind them. That is why many Nigerian men are forsaken by their biological children when they are old, terminally sick and on their death bed. Go and see the way many white fathers bond with their children. The Nigerian/African man however only knows how to pregnate and pregnate but hardly takes an active part in the rearing of the child. He chooses to take a passive role in the upbringing of the child instead. And then we wonder why our continent Africa is the laughing stock of the whole world. Charity they say begins at home. If black fathers would take their fatherhood responsibilities seriously, then we would see a positive impact on the children as well.

Ekpekus: When his mate are @ work hustling 4 their family!!!!! If he had a job, will he do that? Boxers, no shirt, tie pikin wey dey hungry 4 back... Where the wife go?

chaircover: I am a woman and something makes me feel uncomfortable with that picture. . . ., maybe its a deep seated cultural thing about babies on womens backs.

By all means a man should help his wife with the house chores and looking after the children but a man putting a baby on his back with a wrapper is . Women want strong men that they can respect & look up to and the same man that you push out of bed to investigate when you hear noises in the night is the same man that you give your ankara to in the afternoon to back the baby. No wonder so many men are confused. I once saw a woman molue driver once and that too made me feel

If that were to be my husband and I was tired/indisposed/not around/busy/sick wharrever or just wants to help, he will bounce the baby up and down on his lap until baby falls asleep and baby can be laid down in his cot . . . I wont even lend him my ankara. My husband is one of the best dads around but he never backed a baby with cloth and even if he offered I will never allow it . . . .anything else maybe, but not baby on back.

I am probably not explaining this right (its friday naw) maybe another woman reading this can put this in better words

Naijaklef:

Thank u Jare, ChairCover!

How many of these "NA KAM AKPAKO" ladies supporting dis stuff wld be happy to see their own younger brother doing dis in his marital home
Wen they visit

How many of you ladies will be happy to see your ELDER BROTHER or YOUNGER BROTHER washing clothes and trying to bathe d baby in his marital home

Wen dat happens... Wld u call him a MAN?

BE REAL, DIS IS NIGERIA!

Tgirl4real:

It looks ridiculous to me. How would he feel when the in-laws or his family show up? Must he carry baby and wash at the same time? Except if he doesn't have a wife or he is jobless so he stays home to nurse the baby while wifey goes to work.

Na wa o.

vanitty: In my own point of view, this does not mean he is the best father in the world neither does it translate to him being jobless

How this automatically turns to the man is jobless is beyond me, it could be his free day from work, it could be a man that works on rotation basis, it could be on annual leave from work.

I suppose it is the 'ankara' people can't seem to look past.
Were it to be a 'posh' baby carrier, I doubt people would protest this much.

The only thing that might be wrong with this is the safety of the baby. I personally don't think an ankara is strong enough to hold the baby and I refuse to let anyone carry my babies like this. All the shebi you were carried that way is not my business lol. I insist only God kept me safe with all the experiment my grandma did on me and siblings lol.

Lagusta:
Thanx Lagusta I appreciate you too
This is the best post ever, God bless u jare
