As Mr abi Dr. 'I know it all' As Dr my perfection is close to God As Dr I personally hear directly from God As Dr my children should suffer even tho I have some millions to my name The list is fucking endless..... He is fast becoming a grumpy old man, who I really can't point any fond memories of, although he isn't a wicked man sha n But he just likes 2 believe he is tougher than Hitler,Abacha,IBB all put in one person |

sunnshyn: My Dad's still alive and by God's grace he'll be there to walk me down d aisle and cuddle his grand kids.Just like mine, alife and well to the glory of God. I love my dad dearly and everyone in my family knows. But I never knew he also loved me much till two occasions he intervened in my life challenges. A day before the day we went to pay my wife's dowry, my dad called me and asked how are we going? As a young company employee,I presented my budget and plan to tell my inlaws that igbos don't finish marrying wife in one day; following my inability to cover everything in the Owerri traditional marriage list. My dad went into his room and brought out the complete sum covering the two list(one for father and the 2nd for mother) and said, ''I have kept this to assist u in the payment of the school fees of ua junior ones, but nothing is more important than the new child that is about to come into our house''-I never knew he had a penny. The second time was when i had a challenge with my work and struggling to start a new line of business. Daddymi sent for me and gave me a bunch of cash that was like a million to me considering my financial state at the time. And said ''my cow gave birth,and instead of keeping it with a local shepherd, I sold it for u to put into whichever business you are doing or pay ua childrens' school fees, whichever is most needful now'' Apart from these display of salutory interventions, I will always remember my dad's principle of patience and forgiveness. He believes that whoever is cheated in life will outlive, defeat or win the person who is cheating him. While I was leaving our house to the city of Lagos after my youth service in January 1988, my father told me,''Remember the son of whom you are, and don't ever be in a hurry to become rich''.I never understood the impact of this advise until i made my first mistake in the city in pursuit of cash. My dad's words are indelible and his cordial and friendly exchanges with my mom ever reigns in my own home to date. |

to summarize everything i want to say, my dad is who i measure my manhood by. in everything i do i check to see if i am living up to or surpassing the legacy he has laid. he is a man not just respected at home but very well respected and looked up to in the community. there are many young many outside of our home who count him as a father, all of whom are way senior to me. Whatis a man? 1. a provider 2. a guardian 3. a care giver my father? the epitome of all these. |

Re: What Would You Remember Your Father For? by othenok(f): 9:32pm On Dec 12, 2012 |
My Dad is the kindest person i ve ever met in my life. He love for the poor is truely extra ordinary. Remember my mum always complaining that it was of no use buying clothes or shoes as a gift for him cos by next month you would find it on a begger. He taught us never to place importance to any material thing cos it never lasts. He nevers beats but would talk/advise you to tears n remorse. No wonder as teenagers we prefered Mum's whipping to his preaching.Daddy loves reading! His room then is a mini library. Although he only finished Pry school, he is a voracious reader with very high I.Q. My Daddy Darling only gets very cross when we are late for family prayer, which is an early morning and night stuff. Miss prayer n get ready for talk. I really love that man, my Daddy Darling. |

My dad is so wonderful. I miss him a lot for his uprithness and never say die spirit. Up to the point of his transition to glory, he still ensures that we don't settle for less. His love, the days of struggle... Infact I can't finish. Dad I miss you a lot. |

babami is a kind wise man.in all he does,he made sure the home is a place we can always run to even if the whole world rejects you.He keeps harping on unity,contentment and Godliness.He is our biggest fan,insists on good dressing and teamwork unlike my mum who will tie your meal to your proficiency in house chores because the house is a boys' house.I remember all the 'fabu' he told me while growing up,imagine my dad 'scoping' me that if I ever tell a lie,I will turn into olosha(armed robber) and then die just on top one missing piece of meat i did not remember stealing from maami's pot of soup.(maami can complain about missing pieces of meat,in fact I use to think if she was in my father's house to audit meat.)He is so generous to a fault and I remember till this day ,the day he was close to tears because he was scared that his financial downturn during IBB's austerity measure was going to stop our education,but thank God,things later turned around and thank God we all became graduates and professionals in our chosen fields of medicine,accountancy,pharmacy and HSE.I take time to visit both my parents and spend quality time with them.That reminds me,its been a month I did so,I will try see him this saturday so I can drink from his fountain of knowledge once again.I adore him. I believe when God created parents,he gave me and my siblings the best!! |
Re: What Would You Remember Your Father For? by GboyegaD(m): 6:15am On Dec 13, 2012 |
He was a kind, loving and caring father, who gave me that which the world could never give me even in a million decades to come. He built me up a man of my words, gave me confidence to walk heads high irrespective of whatever the world and life intends throwing at me because I am the only who can determine the extent to which it affects me. I had some issues with him and we often times had our quarrels though, but each time I reminisce about my life, I am only but grateful to God for giving me such a wonderful father. |
Re: What Would You Remember Your Father For? by brownlolly(m): 8:00am On Dec 13, 2012 |
I lost my father in October after a yr old battle with Stroke that left the whole right side of his body paralyzed. He was 72 yrs old. Before I was 16, I wished my father could just just fall and die. We weren't so close. Now I'm 23, I know better. He never bought us gifts or took us out, but he paid in excess when it came to our education. To him, our education was more important than anything else. Before he fell sick, he used to come to our rooms to greet us. After greetings, the next thing he used to ask was, "What are you going to eat?"... He wasn't a successful husband (married twice and divorced twice), but he was a loving father. My mom left in 1995 and he never married another woman. He took care of us 3kids and now we're all done with university. I was reading his condolence register and I saw many wonderful things people wrote about him. I believe what i read because they all wrote almost the same thing. He was humble, generous, honest (he was an external auditor and I KNOW my father never took a bribe), easy-going...we had arguments and he always let us express ourselves. I love body art and my father didn't have a problem with that, because he knew the kind of kids he had. He allowed us choose whatever career path we wanted for ourselves. I wanted to be a pilot...he supported me, I changed to Law, Accountancy, Economics, and finally Psychology...he let me discover myself without pushing me. He was a wonderful father. He was totally amazing. I miss him so much. RIP Dad 2 Likes |

For me i dont think i remember my dad for any thing other than how he sent me and my mum and siblings parking when he meet another woman (ADUKE) im over 40 now and he died almost 20 yrs ago, i want to be a better father to my kids, but one good lesson i learnt from him is never to look at any other woman once u are married perhaps he will still be around if he didnt married another woman |
Re: What Would You Remember Your Father For? by stantob(m): 8:23am On Dec 13, 2012 |
The sound of the organ that wakes us up early morning for prayers. The ironing of my school uniform with a heavy warning not to stain them. The cow tails and goat heads he brought home every weekend. His advice "Never give up" Many things to remember the man for. |
