Re: What Are Some Of Your Fondest Memories Of Your Mother? by Sermwell(m): 8:09am On Aug 16
Mine was really funny

UNIBEN wanted to expel me because some useless cultist forced me to sit for constitutional law exam for them and I was caught!! I told my parents and my Dad refused to be part of it and said it's non of his business. My mum showed up in school all the way from Suleja, Niger state.
She demanded to see the VC but was refused access. My Mama just took off her wrapper and created a huge scene in front of the VC's office to the extent that the VC came out to attend to her. My mama claimed I was her only son and she had spent all her savings to send me to school. And that she will kill herself in from of the VC's office if I'm expelled. The VC then was a woman and was sympathetic to my mother's plight.....Long story short, I was issued a warning.

Today, I'm a lawyer and my mum is enjoying herself and traveling round the world for vacation and stuff!

Seun nor allow me modify the post.

For those whose mother have gone to Rest with God. May God bless their souls and may they continue to rest in perfect peace.

Truly, there's nothing and no one like the love of a mother.

Fathers are wonderful too o - the pillars on whom everything stands. But this thread is to give our mothers their flowers 🥰

My mum was always particular about my finger and toe nails. She wad always in my case because of it. She would even scold me in the presence of my kids and bring out her own nail cutter to try to cut my nails in their presence. It got to the extent that I was always checking my nails each time we were going to visit my parents and as expected the moment we landed and exchanged pleasantries, the next thing she would say is, let me see your nails... smiley...a very beautiful soul she was. I miss her greatly...keep resting in peace mum.... cry

1, Her kind nature

I still get the impact of her goodwill for example people pack foodstuffs for me whenever I go to the village .

2, She taught me how to give

3, Her cooking

Thank God she gave my wife some cooking tips ( My wife is also a good cook but I also cook well.)

4, Advice

5, Role model grand mother

She was a good grand mother to my kids .

My kids were never out of clothes because each visits she comes with grade 1 okrika clothes .

Tells my kids stories

Pray with them

ETC

6 Wonderful Mother in law

I believe my wife misses my mother more than me ..

She speaks of my mother at any given opportunity . Stimes I see tears in her eyes .

My mother was her friend .

I can remember a time we quarreled ..The male ego got the best of me I refused to eat after my wife apologized ..

I was watching movie and ignored her pleas my mum came to the living room and told my wife

" Stop to dey beg am if hungry catch am e go find road go kitchen , go sleep ".

Las las I became hungry at midnight and went to the pot to help myself ..

May her soul continue to rest in peace .

Mummy, im very sorry for not Loving you enough when your alive. 🥹

I only came to understand that mother’s love 💞 is the greatest love on earth, after she has departed this world and it’s hurts me so deeply that I was not able to return even half of the love I received from her, before she passed. 😢🥹

If your mother is still alive, Plz let her know how much you love and appreciate her now that she’s alive and do anything you can to always make her happy and Loved 🥰 🙏

It looks like 80% of the mothers being mentioned here are resting in peace.
While the 20% that are still alive under this post are being labeled as witches.

Please, my brothers and sisters, if your mom is still alive, please shower her with love and cherish her.
Because the day you turn back and you don't see her... hmm, you gonna feel the pain.
I couldn't do enough for my mother and it hurts.

Keep resting, mom 😞

Mumsy and doesn't have money don't go together, in fact when I want to annoy her, till tomorrow, i ask for money and katie kaboom she goes.

So, i already learnt that asking her for money is a capital offence to me. So i have to ask her things that are not money and what do you think i get?

Thank God, God is Real and He is The Ruler, King and President of mankind

Funny?

She is an intelligent woman,calculative

Mrkc:
Miserable .
A chronic debtor.
Traumatized my childhood.
Borrowed money to impress the people.
Watch our creditors come to our house to take our black and white TV as a child.
She will borrow money with out telling her husband.
A woman with no source of income .
Her husband salary was used to pay debtors for years .
The money that would have been used for the betterment of us was used to pay debts for years
So sorry you passed through all these. Is she still alive?

This morning, I was just chilling in the compound, and one of my young bachelor neighbour stepped out of his apartment, with ankara material wrapped around his waist - and the first thing that came to my mind was "Na him mama definitely give am the wrapper!" - oh yes, and it was not to mock him, but rather it was funny, because me sef get the wrapper wey my mama give me when I wan commot from house that year.

If you grew up in a traditional Nigerian home, chances are, you sef get wrapper wey your mama give you. You could have towel and all that, but you see that material, it's always like an heirloom. God bless our mothers truly, many of them were not rich in wealth, but they were filled with so much love, that even their 1 kobo carried the weight of gold.

Note, this love is not flawless o, my mama dey beat shege for my body that time, I was an introverted but yet strong-headed (them go say wicked) child, but that tough love helped me turn out right, because even when she beat you, she'll still be careful not to hurt you - those days, after she beat me and I don cry tire, she go come carry me dey pet me 😅.

So what are your fondest memories your mother? If she's still alive today, as that memory puts a smile on your face, call her and say "thank you my darling mother".

Let's start this sunday with some beautiful stories.
May be I'm among a few exceptional,but I loved my father much more than my mum n I really wished he lived longer even though he died at 104 years,the man was such a very calm contented man with great foresight.my major issue with my mum is she is too rigid n find it difficult seen things from a different perspective.unlike my late dad that would calmly listen to you then dismiss you to deeply reflect only to summon you later to reason things with you.may God continue to bless his soul,Amen.

I LOVE YOU ❤️
Re: What Are Some Of Your Fondest Memories Of Your Mother? by besticality: 9:29am On Aug 16
My dearest mum. I remember those days in Poly Ibadan, she would cook in Lagos and bring it to me in Poly Ibadan. At least, once in a month, you must see my mum. Usually with loads of food items, both cooked and raw.

By this time last year, she was here with us. On Sept 17 at exactly 5:45am I received that devastating call from my brother: she was involved in a hit and run at Oshodi-Oke.

It will be a year you left us next month on the 17th but the pain still feels like yesterday.

Continue to rest in peace Moi Mi

May God have mercy on her soul
Re: What Are Some Of Your Fondest Memories Of Your Mother? by ceeceeuwa:
Going back to school as an undergraduate those years,my ' Ghana must go' bag was always filled with all goodies. I always had issues with those agberos at Ojota park because of my luggage . She packs Ogbono egusi,dried fish,dried pomo,stock fish,semo, dried bitter leave..all sorts. I had a blender and even a small mortar.

My friends at school always tell me that I already had all I needed In my room that all that was left was a husband. 😄.

God bless my mom. 🙏. She is the calmest woman alive!

Dear men,

If the amount of money you have spent on your girlfriend is more than that of the one you've spent on your mother, then you're a phoo.

Ur mother was there when you were sick, hungry, broke, tired, confused, frustrated, she clothed you etc. which memories surpasses that?
Na broke people dey quantify monetary values of gifts between mum and girlfriend/wife! Even your mother would want you to spend more on your girl when she proves she's worth it!
Re: What Are Some Of Your Fondest Memories Of Your Mother? by Bahamas95(m): 12:30pm On Aug 16
So many, I don't even know where to start.
But one thing I will never forget is the way she served food to me and my siblings.

Back then, I didn't understand what she was doing, but as I grew older, I understood the message she was trying to pass across.

Most times, she wouldn't serve us individually. She would put the food in a bowl or tray, and all of us would eat together. We got so used to it that we wouldn't eat if we weren't all complete. We had to wait for whoever was missing before we could start eating. She was teaching us the importance of bonding and looking out for one another.

My family is my first priority. Whenever I'm in a difficult situation, I don't care about friends. My siblings are there for me, and we support one another without making noise about it.
