Nigerian Entertainment News: “When The Children Have Been Weaponised Against Their Father” – Gideon Okeke
Gideon Okeke has taken to Instagram once more, reiterating his earlier lament that he cannot freely interact with his sons until they reach 18
In a fresh Instagram post, the actor expounds on the three phases of a father’s association with his male offspring.
He contends that this association is “contingent on the mother,” and the sons can be “weaponised against their father.”
He then implores sons to strive to humanize their paternal figures.
Additionally, he urges “Pharaoh” to release his people.
This isn’t Gideon’s inaugural foray into such commentary. In January 2023, Gideon Okeke voiced his concerns after the court awarded custody of his children to his ex-wife and restricted his access to seeing them outside their place of residence.
Gideon expressed at the time:
“When I think of my 18year jail sentence I remember even people on death row get 3 visitations as part of the last living rights and the choice of a planned meal before their execution. people serving life, get visitation even leading up to a conjugal.
These are rights laid out for the ones who have wronged society. Whose rightful place is in the gallows.
“But parental alienation and depravation is an ill punishments upon a father who wants to be there for his sons. But by the Federal Government of my kids affairs… I don’t get custody and yet my visitation rights are restricted, ONLY with the 4 corners of their compound. As in I cant even take them for ICE CREAM.
“A marriage went south. this is MY L in Lesson.”
Subsequently, in April 2023, he censured single mothers who hinder their children from visiting their fathers.
He stated:
“Dear single Mother,
“You didn’t pluck those kids from the trees.
“You didn’t buy them off the shelves at
Shoprite. It took 2 of you, in love, to have the privilege of the legacy of Kids, in your life.
“People go a whole lifetime without this blessings you have on your laps. They are a gift from God. Being an ONLY child myself…
“I can tell U what women go through to find this gift… for free…by God’s grace.
“Why you con Dey use this same gift take Dey punish another Man. Or so you thought you were punishing Him. But no! It’s the KIDS
“Get out of the Way. You’re in the way of Your kids emotional balance. You’re in the way!”
At the time, his ex-wife Chidera Uduezue responded, “If I start to talk! Hmmmmm..
“There will be no holding back.
“Because the millipede that was stomped on did not scream, but the foot that stomped on it keeps screaming ‘my foot, my foot'(it’s sweeter in Igbo sha, but, you get the gist lol).
“But my people say that, ‘Adiro ibuo ayi ala’, so I’ll be the bigger person, as ALWAYS and keep living life.”
Gideon and Chidera had their traditional wedding in December 2018 and their church wedding in April 21, 2019. The union produced two sons and they announced their estrangement in 2022, after 3 years of marriage.
