This Sunday, June 16, as the world honours fathers and celebrates
fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society, I would
like to use this forum to honor and recognize all the fathers in Nigeria who
work and toil hard to put food on the table irrespective of the harsh economic
conditions we find ourselves today. Sometimes our fathers are overlooked for
mothers who appear to be more nurturing and involved in our everyday lives.
Father's Day in the real sense is when the children and other family
members extend their love and appreciation to the father for all that he had
done to make the family a happy and united body. It could be done through
organizing a small party or get-together to honour the father; or it could be a
picnic to the beach, cinema or other places of excitement. It could be in form
of a gift that the father would appreciate.
The celebration does not limit its participation to the children alone; the
mothers too are encouraged to send love wishes and show compassion for their
husbands for being there to build the home with them.
Above all, a true father must have the fear of GOD in him!! When a father
has the fear of God, he will never hurt the home that God has entrusted in his
hands. To all the God fearing fathers all over the world I celebrate you guys!
