 MY FATHER! MY FATHER!! -

85% OF FATHERS WON'T READ THIS  

A NII COMMEY HADWRITING


My Father! My Father!!

I know you know that this day called Fathers’ Day is arguably the most unpopular celebration in the year.

O Father!

Discriminated against, victimized; taunted:

Your right to weep, taken away from you because from infancy, grandma told you ‘a man does not cry'- contrary to John 11:35.

The last time you wept because your  33 year old insulted your intelligence:

Mummy stared at you and said

" Who is this girl of a man?”

Your friends came around and scoffed

 "My friend, you craze? Man wey you dey cry like that. idiot"


Your pocket is always boiling, busily celebrating: Mother's Day- Valentine's Day, Christmas, Birthday;

Even the excitement of your own day (Father's Day) will depend on the sweetness of your of your pocket

They make you believe we are in a Man’s World

But we all know the best BOARDROOM decisions are made in the BEDROOM
Inside that chamber, the only time you get to open your mouth is when you want to yawn!!

My Father! My Father!!.... they challenge you:

 Always they challenge you!

“What a man can do, a woman can do better”

 And yet  we know where they hide when the armed robber enters the house;

We know the wardrobes they climb when they see the mouse dancing with the cockroach:

O, yes! we know the screams they make when the wall gecko smiles at them


My Father! My Father!! .. you can't even talk.....because by nature you speak only  7,000 words a day: Mummy speaks 20,000

You wake up every morning thinking about how and where and when to pay your children’s school fees:

Your net salary is GHC400 - typical civil servant

And your three children’s school fees add up to GHC1000 minus text books and feeding fee, multiplied by school, uniforms.

You are never right; even if you are, you never have been.

By the time we realize Father maybe right

We also have grown to have children who think we are wrong


O My Father! My Father!!, even your own BIRTHDAY escapes you...

How can you remember a day like FATHERS’ DAY!


DONT CROSS-CHECK THESE FACTS
I know 85% of Fathers cannot read this because they are too busy looking for money for their families

85% of Fathers cannot be bothered by this celebration

69% of fathers will not answer all the calls intended to wish the Father’s Day, because they will see it as a bother!

97% of Father’s will wake up on Sunday morning, not remembering its FATHERS’ DAY

 But whatever it is

 My Father…You are My Father!
You are still My Father!
 Happy Father's Day!!!!!!
