there's one event that happen and this led me to admire my father more. the calmness and maturity he exhibited made me to start cultivating that trait.
Another been his optimism even in the face of so many odds.this has made me to grow to feel secure anytime am around him and no matter the situation.
so peeps hit me with your posts on what makes your dad to rock.

Simple, he loves me even in situations when I totally hate myself......he screams a lot but then he is the best. there are just something words can not explain, but in summary, I love him cos he's a true father

He makes me laugh like no other. The minute we sight ourselves, we begin to crack jokes and make each other laugh. My father, my sister and I are a great team. The three of us draw surprising stares from our neighbours when we use to sit on the balcony and make ourselves laugh. My father makes words like "aforesaid" sound like aforsay and we all had to consult the dictionary when he was arguing that the word "afor" is in the dictionary as the word "afor" happens to be part of the olden days mgbeke name grandma gave him. He is so very sweet and I love him much.

Oh! My dad is the best father l cn ever think of, after God , its my father , he was there 4 me whn my mum was away, he actd as a mother and a father, he raised up to fear nd honour God, he was my boyfriend whn l was growin up as a younggirl, l gave me every money l need to take gud kia of myself til l got a job aftr my degree, he advise me lik a mother, care and love me. He also impact investment skills into me. Oh! I cn't mention it all, he is d best father l hav eva seen.
I LOVE U DAD!

His humour and out-of-the-box reasoning and ways.

I love my dad more than my mum!!! He could go 2 any length 2 make us happy.He woke me up everynight 2 read when I was a kid.My mum doesnt care much.

his honesty n maturity

I love my dad because, through his help and that of my mum, i was brought into this world.
Who knows?! Maybe, i wld still be up there peeping at the children, while they suck their mum's breast and play with their dad.

wheneva my dad is angry,we know it wud soon passn he wud come 2 terms wit d mistake u av made n look 4 a solution,but my mum...Jesus christ,she wud remind u abt it 4 d next 10 years,if not more

My father, Mr Adebajo A.A himself, Ijoba fondly calld my his frds or Goverment or Baba ijebu nt becos he is stingy but becos he is a native of Omo ljebu.

I dnt knw hw to describe you but i v dis to say he is loving, sweet , kind, generous( i remberd wen u paid for 2 of my frds dat couldnt afford GCE fee). Ready at any time to give his last kobo to us. At my age my sweet dad wil stil chop remain 4 me. He v good retentive memory, intelligent(always helpin me wit my assignment during my undergraduate days).

Opeoluwa, anytime he calls that my special name i knw sumtin good is on my way. He dnt wnt me to b behind or tink or get disturb dat is y u paid 4 my Master dat im doin nw. Though u v retired wen i was just 10yrs old. U wantd d 3 of us to b sum1 in life we'l definitely get there.

This thread makes me cry, infact so sad.

I came to check the updates on this thread and almost felt bad that I kept quiet on my mother as if I don't love her too. Poster you should have asked about father and mother because the two go together.

I love my mother too in a deeper way even when I have a special bond with my father and my sister. My mother of blessed memory is what I am today. She built me up, taught me modesty. She is a good woman, very industrious. My mother never worked for anybody in all her life, she always have her own thing doing for herself even when she was as young as 14/15 years old, thinking of that makes me ashamed of myself that I am working for others.(Now let me not be hard on myself---Lol). The epitome of the virtuous woman of the bible. She was priceless, can do great things with her hands, was highly reverred among her peers for her independence and hard work. Ain't no woman like my mama. She was a princess yet so humble that when she passed away the neighbours were amazed to see the name "Princess" appended on the name of such an unpretentious woman and it was after her death that I got to understand that I hold the title of a princess too unlike my cousins that have been swagging away over it all and feeling cool while growing up, she could not be swayed/bothered with title nor royalty. Her coming from a royal family was never given such importance for us her children to understand the gravity of that. She was even a thousand times more beautiful things that describing may bring tears to my eyes. Now how do one relegate a mother that priceless to the background and talk about the father alone? Bear with me poster, I have to appreciate the two.

My papa was a hard nut to crack, ströng, strict yet loving and fun to be with. You were my advicer and mentor. Forgive me for not understanding u when u were HERE! I was ur last child out of ten kids, so u can imagine the age difference, u talk in 60ties and i reply in 90ties. I missed u so much- that i cried last tuesday in my office, wished u were here to enjoy ur labour. When u died my life chattered and i experienced a different world filled with unimagineable,a world apart from what it used to be! it wasn't an easy struggle and path but I give God all the glory for he has shown me mercy, kindness, and has being a father to me since then. I can finally say RIP PAPA till we meet to part no more.

Nland cant contain wat i like abt my papa,i jst pray dat God wil kip him for me,becos he must enjoy d fruit of hs labour.I WISH AL MEn CUD BE LIKE MY FADA

@ivynwa i thought about that,i had this experience that made me realize how much i love my dad that's why i had to ask that question.

He was solid, reliable and believed in true marriage!

He took his wife's family as his own and made sure EVERYONE was well taken care of!

He loved his children to peices, even though we were mostly girls in a world dominated by men!

He NEVER let anybody harrass or talk down on his daughters.

He was a true champion and understood the true importance of family!

The fact that I get to "escape" on october! Ok, jokes aside, he's ok. Sometimes.

As a kid I thought my father was the smartest man on earth. I still secretly do

Hey Dad, I know you are doing great up there.
Things are going on down here almost as you envisaged. So long.
*sobs*

Kind Heart and Discipline

HIS STRICTNESS , COZ WITHOUT THE STRICTNESS, LESS WOULD HAV BEEN ACHIEVED.

let me give a narrative to explain what i love about him
1995 December, he (with barely no savings and 5 children) lost his job, yet we had the best xmas and new year celebrations, and none of us knew he had no job until he found another 4 months after he lost his previous job.
till today, i still ask him how he managed

His wife was his best friend.

My late father,i loved everything about him,he was calm,caring,slow to anger,understanding,God fearing,generous,he is the best father in the world.

The way he disciplined me....

Ditto

Though my father is late i can never for get him for a lot of things.
He is selfless and sacrificial, he lived for people both families and people that are not his family.
He is also full of wisdom, this he demonstrated in all that he did when alive.
He also defended the helpless when the need arose to do that.
He is also a man that has the heart for God and very prayerful.
I will always have him close to my heart. I miss him so much that i still feel the vacuum.
I love you dad.

That is man that truly n sincerely loves his family n will always make them happy no matter the situation. God i beg of you give me such a man as my husband!!!

My dad can spend o. Anytime am with him, i'm never broke. Always loaded. And he also likes education, asin, forcing us to read. He is strict. Had it not been for him, i wouldn't have reached where i am today.

I luv my pman cos he believes in me. He's also a motivational speaker.

I learnt the secret of goodlife from my Dad. That man rocks...He is the best in the World.
