The importance of mothers cannot be overstated – this in part is the reason there are many days dedicated as Mother’s day. In Nigeria, every day is simply mother’s day. The celebration of a special day for Mothers is to appreciate their commitment to nurturing the family in spite of the challenges they face.

Mother’s Day became a recognized national holiday in the USA in early 20th century. Across traditions there had always several celebrations for mothers such as the Roman Festival of Hilaria, Mothering Sunday for Christians among others and today, the special day for mothers is celebrated in over 170 countries. In the spirit of the celebration, Jovago has prepared an infographic on mothers and mother’s day across Africa in celebrating the day.
