Are Fathers Not That Important? Why Are They Taken For Granted? by DamnnNiggarr: 11:45am On Feb 06, 2022
This is strictly my opinion and observation!
have you noticed that the only time children talk about their father, praise or shower accolade to their father is when they're announcing his exit/death, because it is near impossible for a child, on a normal ground, to shower accolade on his father unlike they do to mothers.

this morning, while I was browsing through Facebook to check for updates and notifications, I stormed upon this Post
https://www.facebook.com/1494337709/posts/10220849854344865/ showering praises and accolades on her father because she was announcing to the general public about the demise of her father.

Immediately I saw that post, I asked myself, what if this man was to be alive, would this person, a lady for that matter, bring out her time to write this long epistle in the favour of her father? because it is always, my mother is this... my mother is that... making my mother proud etc, thereby relegating the fathers to the background. Why are Fathers remembered only in death?

Oh God, help me to train my children so that when that time comes, I will not be relegated.
Help me train my children so that, they'll acknowledge the sacrifices made by both parents( their mother and I) in due time.
it is only you, oh God, that can help me achieve that.
help me so that I'll be the most "loving and best father" in the whole world to them(my kids)

There lived a righteous man!
Heaven gained a saint last night.
Earth mourns a legend.
We are left with memories of who you were!
We are left with the hope of resurrection
Though tears fall and grief grip us
We remember your fulfilled life
We thank God for living a remarkable life
The privilege to impact many
The grace to serve God and man
Integrity was your watchword
Equity and fair play were yours
You shunned corruption
You detested bribery like faeces

If the best medical care could heal you
If our prayers were God's will
If our mothers tender love could revive you
You would have lived
None worked because it was time to go home
Your maker wanted you home!!!

Rest on father!
Rest on my Bible teacher!
Rest on motivator of the highest order
Rest on Book Worm
Rest on my Hero
Rest on councellor
Rest on former Chief Executive Officer
Rest on disciplinarian
Rest on Biologist and Chemist
Rest on child training consultant
Rest on evergreen Sunday School teacher
Rest on humanitarian
Rest on former Vice Principal
Rest on the best husband
Rest on former Certificate Screening guru of Federal Polytechnic Oko.
Rest on sacrificial dad
Rest on Secretary at multiple times
Rest on a man of Integrity
Rest on my encourager
Rest on my baby sitter
Rest on Elder Benson Uzukwu
Rest on the people's "Prof".
Rest on saint!

Your memory lives on
We shall meet on the resurrection morning.

yes, most of the time our male parents didnt usually give a sh*t about us. alot of people their male parent leave them under the care of their moms

and in Islam ,moms are above dads. A man Asked the prophet pbuh " who should i be obedient to?". The prophet answer" your mother" and the man repeated the question 3 times and the Prophet give the same reply. and in the fourth he said " your dad"

You go take person wey no reason your matter as anything

Parents are supposed to be there for their children in the best way they can so if any of them fall short of these then I see no reason why they shouldn't be taken for granted. Do me I do you God no go vex.

You can't treat me bad and expect me to treat you well in return family or not, especially family sef.

alright if you insist!
I love both parents but nine months will not make me throw away my father's years of toiling the soil and suffering to ensure our survival and our upbringing into the trash can.

I feel you Bruv!
But it depends on the type of the parent sha,
Which my dad is excepted.
But we all should also remember that one day, we shall reap what we sow.
I can't relegate my father and expect my male children to treat me differently, nah! It doesn't work that way. My male children will treat me the same way I treated my father.

Well you are right but if he never treated me well why should I do same, because of karma He should have thought of that earlier but then since he didn't then I guess the circle continues...
I hate cheating..

You're right,
Yeah, not because of karma,
Like I said earlier, it depends on the type of parent. If my father treated me badly, I'll try as much as I can to make a difference.
I can't, because that my father treated me badly, treat my children bad, no I can't try such.
