He voiced out saying fatherhood makes one a responsible person, added that he was very careless when he started his journey into fatherhood, but he is no longer so because he has changed by God’s grace by retracing his steps.

He disclosed that his first and second wives whom he had a child each with left him and gave him the reason which is because he was not having enough money to provide for the family making sure they were satisfied and lacking nothing.

In his words:

“When you are young and single it is a big difference from being a married man, and a bigger difference when you start to have children. When you have babies, you are becoming a man, and when you are becoming a man, you are thinking big. There were certain things I wouldn’t do that I do now, because I am the head of my family and family comes first. Also, my children look up to me, learn from me and emulate me.

“I have to show them that I am responsible, so that they can be proud of who I am. God says you should nurture them, provide for them and that is what I do. Fatherhood makes you a responsible person. We have fathers who are responsible and there are others who are irresponsible and careless.

“When I started my journey into fatherhood, I was a careless father, but by God’s grace I was able to retrace my steps, build up myself and today I am proudly a responsible father. If you are a careless father, who doesn’t care for his children, who doesn’t have love for his and family, who doesn’t have love and passion for building a home, such a person is not a man. I have been able to live up to my responsibilities as a father by providing for my family and making sure they never lack.

“You have to build confidence in yourself. You learn everyday as a father, and I never miss any opportunity to learn everyday and this makes me a better parent.

“Mr Ibu said he never miss an opportunity to learn everyday to be a better father also spoke more on hiw his first and second marriages failed.

“I have people who learn from me and I teach them how to build a home even though I had some ups and downs in the course of trying to build a home. My first and second marriages failed; they (my wives) left me after having a child each for me.

“I wondered what made them make such decisions and they made me know that it was because I didn’t have money. This made me know that I have to be able to keep my family and provide for them and make sure that they are satisfied and not have any reason to look down on me.”

Well, Mr Ibu is currently happily married to his lovely wife, Stella Maris Okafor, and back in 2021, the couple celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary.
