EP42: Nobody value African Fathers II Ghanacelebrities - a podcast by Nana Kwame

As today is father's father, the Wahaala boys in conjuction with Ghanacelebrities.com wonder how father's are perceived in our societies be it in Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa or anywhere in Africa. Although fathers sacrife a lot for their children and the overall wellbeing of their families. A lot of African men left their families both extented and nuclear to travel to cities or abroad in search of greener pastures and to provide a better future for their offsprings. They work long hours endure terrible situations just to ensure that their families have food and shelter. The pressures of being a man and especialy a father has caused many men to lose their lives but still men and fathers are it seem are not appreciated /valued in our society. They are regarded as second class citizens within the family and usually not given room to even get things wrong. Most children/families do not consider the father beyond his monetary contributions and most times will not involve them in other aspects of things unless it has to do with money.

Father's day is trivialised and most father's recieve barely anything and if they do recieve something, it is a nonsense of a gift in most occasions.

The wahaala boys ask the question "do we value fathers?".
