My father said my mother will not travel!!
I’m supposed to leave for North America in a few weeks for the first time in my life and I wouldn’t see my family in a very long time. My mom and me and my siblings live in eastern Nigeria and I’ll be leaving from Lagos. My dad lives in Europe currently.
I called him to let him know I’m booking flights for her and one of my siblings to follow me to Lagos to see me off and he said no that my mom can’t go with me talking about he forbids it and security bla bla. We’re using flights ffs. I’m paying for the flights along with my mom (who has sponsored my entire trip, yes my dad has nothing to do with my entire trip, I just told him when the visa was out, we have a good relationship but he was anti immigration for me so I excluded him and my mum funded with her own money, she’s rich like that).
Anyway he’s saying she can’t go because of “security concerns” (I’ve convinced him we’ll schedule Ubers to and fro and it’s just hotel to the airport) and because she has never been to Lagos before and that I wanna show off that I’m traveling. I just feel like he doesn’t want her to know what she’s missed her entire life. My mom has never been on a flight before.
We’re gonna go regardless, I’ve always done things regardless of his opinions, I heed them but I still do what I want. I’m just venting here because this is how many Nigerian men are. My dad is a German citizen and his wife has never been in a flight before, a very laughable situation.
A typical good father bad husband situation.
