A heartwarming video of a father carrying his baby on his back during a trek has sparked both admiration and mixed reactions on social media.
The video, shared by TikTok user @kendon210, captures the man confidently walking down Awka Road in Onitsha, with his baby securely tied to his back in the traditional African style. In the caption, @kendon210 commended the father, calling him “Husband material spotted at Awka Road, Onitsha. It’s not easy.”
The clip has since gone viral, with many viewers praising the father for his active involvement in parenting. Despite some onlookers’ curious stares, the man remained composed, even smiling and waving at someone off-camera.
Social media reactions have been mixed. While many applauded his dedication as a father, others shared more critical or humorous responses.
One commenter, Dinma, remarked, “My husband better not try this in public; I don’t like it.” Another user, ruthila07, commented sarcastically: “To be a man isn’t easy because he’s carrying his own baby? Really?”
On the other hand, Diamond_Pearl🦋🌺 responded: “That’s his child too. Who said only women should carry babies? Give it a rest!” Similarly, Nature🍀🍓🍊essence wrote, “I don’t get the fuss. It’s his baby, and that’s part of his responsibility.”
