Nigerians woke up this morning to the distressing and Save Our Soul message from Tuface Idibia’s family, especially from his mom, calling on Nigerians and DSS to save their son from the hands of a strange woman because this Tuface is not the Tuface they proudly call their son.
This validates what I have always known and what I wrote before, which is that Tuface is going through a midlife crisis, and doing a national broadcast at 1:00 am is a strange behaviour.
Don’t get me wrong.
It is ok for a man to move on from an alleged toxic partner.
It is ok to say you don’t want to do again.
What is not ok is what Tuface Idibis is doing, rubbing it on the face of her ex, doing a national broadcast, especially when the ex is at her lowest ebb and currently hospitalised.
I recommend “Loose That Man and Let Him Go” by TD Jake to every man who wants to connect to his masculinity.
This midlife crisis and shameful display of madness by Tuface Idibia is not the best representation of masculinity.
For many men, they don’t grow beyond their physical body.
They are adults in their 40s and 50s; they are having sex, giving birth to babies, the shoulders are bigger, the biceps are bigger, and the muscles are bigger, but they are still kids inside.
This syndrome is aptly described by TD Jakes as dwarfism deprivation, and that is exactly what Innocent Idibia is doing.
We need to save the child within the Tuface of this world by reminding him that he is no longer a child, but rather an adult and a father, and so he needs to behave his age.
I’m a man in his thirties, and one thing I will never do is celebrate irresponsibility because the person dancing naked in the market square is a man.
And most importantly, as men, we need to be better role models for male children, and Tuface of this world is failing badly at this.
