The yoruba adage says
Iyawo ole ni a le gba, enikan o le gba aya ole.
(It is only the wife of a "lazy" man that one can collect, no one dares take his child)
The man should fight for his child, the daughter will appreciate him for life. If he let go of the child now, it might break the spirit of the daughter. This will pass a subtle message to the daughter that "she is not worth fighting for".
Dele go get your daughter.
Thanks for sharing sir.
Thanks @hpabiola for this brave advice. What if he wanted his wife back can't he also go his wife. Nice day.
His wife???
That appellation of wife is debatable. she made the conscious decision to marry a Canadian already.
He should not get stuck with "endowment effect", the woman had already moved on. The earlier he realizes this, the better for HIM.
Hummm
