Actor, Gideon Okeke Shares Cryptic Post As He Speaks Up Again About His Current Reality Following His Divorce
Nigerian actor, Gideon Okeke has shared details about his current reality following his divorce.
Okeke recently took to his Instagram story to share what he realized after announcing his divorce, that many men are suffering as a result of failed marriages and leaving their children as victims.
Gideon, who parted ways with his wife and mother of his two sons two years ago, said it was only after his divorce that he discovered that many divorced men are being punished by their ex-wives who prevent them from seeing their children.
Gideon questioned single mothers and advised them to treat the father of their children as a human being, rather than just a source of money, despite the failed marriage. He also stressed the importance of children having their fathers in their lives.
In a lengthy post, the actor wrote:
âItâs on the announcement of my separation/divorce that I realised that so many men are going through and enduring a litany of ills as an offshoot of a failed marriage, leaving the kids in tow, as victims. My DM has messages to boot. But, I need to askâŠ
What Therapy is reserved or advised for Men who find themselves backed up in this corner?
Is speaking up a âshame thingâ?
Does WORK or the advice of going back to
WORK really douse the pain?

He added,
“Dear single Mother,

Taking to his Instagram story, he wrote:
“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 donât 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.”
