The epistle below, is the direct opposite of the link above..

For some of us, our fathers have been a great pillar and influence in our lives, through the foundation of discipline they laid..

For me specifically, my father never joked with our education, he so valued education that he would rather respond positively to child A's educational needs than child B's other needs..

I really appreciate him now for all those days he scolded/reprimanded me, whenever I go wrong (you know sometimes as a child, you are wrong yet you don't know, thinking they hate you for no reason ). I tell you, if not for those strong/solid measures he placed as a yoke upon me, only God knows what would have become of me. That's why, when people talk about addiction, especially to harmful substance, I can't relate, all thanks to my dad..

Another thing is, I got to understand (or at least have an idea) about God's love, through my dad. Was the shouting, whooping of my ass, punishment, etc not there? Of course yes, it was! As I grew, I knew the difference between being chastised for a wrong and wickedness..

Also, my father married only my mother. Although, I wanted to abolish this by marrying more than one woman (majority of our ladies, just the biblical wine, are turning into something else these days. The best way to correct/contain them without stress is by adding to them), but my father's legacy of "one man one woman" must stand..

Another thing I like about my father is that, he doesn't take advice from any of us ( it's common and normal with most African parents ), but when he begins to sense wisdom and what you told him initially, coming to past. Next time, he would listen, lol..

In conclusion, by God's grace, I will make sure I uphold the wonderful things I learnt from my dad, pass same down to my kids ..

Written so much, let me stop here...

A Pathfinder!

Generosity, I've never seen such kind of man so generous and caring to a fault

His listening ears is top notch, he always have solutions to your problems and very rich in wisdom

He appears very tough but has a golden heart

I wish to take after him on these qualities.

With my loud..
While dollar keep the vibe ''Rise'' going..
Even if he never plenty, is a must..

*That zeal to see his children succeed, he want all his children to be ahead of him..
You are safe with him, he will never mind to risk his life for the safety of his children.
Education minded...
My papa use his salary to pay my debt for 3 good years..
Papa no worry more gifts and blessing on the way coming....

What’s a…

Father?

I dedicate this piece to all those who lost their fathers in their tender age...

I didn't grow up to see or know my Father's habits .

I lost my Father to poisoning when i was three years and six months. ( December 21st is an unforgettable date in my life)

That man was wise!!!!!!!!!
Omorr...
He could simplify difficult concepts to a something that even a child could understand...

He was also a hustler...
Three streams of income - a government job and 2 side hustle...

He was an amazing provider...
Oga was never one day late in paying ANY BILL...


But the man sha dey beat o ...
You try anyhow, you see anyhow ...

Honesty

Kindness

The man will give his last meal to people and go hungry

Bold and intelligent father

My father was the last honest man in Nigeria..... do I want to sustain that legacy is another topic.

This topic was up yesterday and got zero comment,Now you are bringing it up again for discussion

Time keeper

Oge adi eche mmadu
Obu mmadu na eche oge

Calmness and quietness

He loves God, he was the real definition of a God fearing man

Fatherhood is a priceless privileged, no one can fill the vacuum of a father, no matter how hard they try....

its called traits .

sometimes its your mum that sees it better in you

Taking care of his family regardless of the hardship in the country then

Workaholic. My dad liked to work. At a time he was doing two jobs and when he retired from govt work, he picked another job in a finance and stock broking firm and worked till well over 70 yrs +. Now, I have that habit. I can't do without working and I still do other legit side hustle.

Another thing is, he had the habit of buying chassis products. He never bought a second hand or fairly used products and I picked that habit. I detest second products, no matter how clean it looks.

My dad was an enjoyment minister and I took after him. I like to enjoy myself o.

I dislike my dad I don’t love anything about him

Not bothered about having too many friends, doesn't care too much about parties, women and alcohol.

Can easily spot trouble coming from a thousand miles and evades it.

Entrepreneurship

Play with my children, that one can never be too busy to bond with his children right from infancy reason I can't relate to how a man is so present in his children' life that a wife can manipulate these same children against their father who they eagerly look forward to his coming home as im presence dey bring ginger while still maintaining a structure of discipline in the home.

very meek, tell you almost all the truth you need to know

Intelligence. He was so vast and wise in speech and thoughts. Because of him, I maintained straight As and Bs in school. He instilled knowledge and brilliance in me. I'm grateful for these at least.

Nothing else I can think of.

minakom:
I don't have anything specific to mention about my father. He is a malevolent person. He chased us from his life two decades ago. I wouldn't follow the same path as he and abandon my wife and children. The only father figure I acknowledge now is the one seated in heaven, the "I am that I am."
