Salaam Alaikum.
If a father gives out his daughter in marriage,accepts conditional gifts, can he nullify the marrriage after 2yrs.The father has given no reason and he has refused to listen to anybody.He has even threatened that if the girl raises the issue again he will never forgive her.
Is it Islamically permissible for him to do that?

No he can't.
He already gave her out and accepted gifts, he should respect the union because he already consented before.
The wife can anull the wedding if the husband does not take care of her but the father

Bro …the parent has no right to nullify the marriage if both of you are still interest one another. you have the right to depend your marriage if no reason to be found. It is not the right of the parent to intervene the two couple of their relationship. You should seek advice from Imam or sheik in your community. Just a piece of advice brother.
InshaAllah he will guide you to the rightpath

No, first of all. The parents have not all the say on who their children should marry, except if the person she is marring is not Muslim. No father should seek to break what Allah has joined together and to make it worse, in this case, he disclosed no reason. Those who break family ties, Allah promises them a great penalty in the hereafter. So I advise the lady to not seek divorce if her husband is kind to her and also her father should stop whatever hatred he has for his daughter's husband. Haba, it is he that the couples should go to if there is a problem in their marriage for reconcilation.

Just like Frizy said, it is not proper for the father or anybody to annul the marriage unless it comes from the partners. If the father really want to annul it, he must present his reason for anulment.
We all know that african is very strict with regards to culture and stuff like that but we must not incur Allah's wrath just because we want to please the world (culture).
Following are some of the true sayings Mohammed (peace be upon him) with regards to women:
“Do treat your women well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers.
The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best and kindest to his wife.”
The believers who show the most perfect faith are those who have the best character and the best of you are those who are best to their wives.
Some Muslim wives complained to him that their husbands had beaten them. Hearing that, the Prophet categorically stated that: “Those who do so (beat their wives) are not the best among you”
He who is involved bringing up daughters, and accords benevolent treatment towards them, they will be protection for him against Hell-fire.
On the contrary:
“When a man gives his daughter in marriage and she dislikes it, the marriage shall be annulled.” (Once a virgin girl came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and said that her father had married her to a man against her wishes. The Prophet gave her the right to repudiate the marriage.)
“Khansa’ b. Khidham reported that her father gave her in marriage, after she had became a widow. She disliked it and came to the Prophet. He annulled the marriage.”
“The widow and the divorced woman shall not be married until their order is obtained, and the virgin shall not be married until her consent is obtained.”
Abu Hurairah reports that the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: “A grown-up girl shall be asked permission about herself. If she is silent, it is her permission; and if she declines, there shall be no compulsion on her.” (Muslim).
