7 Nigerian Fathers spill Worst Father's Day Gifts.

Wrong gift for the wrong person.

Because I knew father's day was coming up, I wanted to write an article that would be relevant to the day. I've been getting a lot of emails and lists about the "Best Gifts to Get The First Man You Ever Knew in Your Life". I get the promo codes for free Father's Day shipping. I get the buy one get one free promotional deals.

So it got me thinking: what is the worst father's day gift I could ever get my father?

As ludicrous as that sounds, I was very taken by the idea. Of course I wasn't actually going to intentionally buy my father a horrible father's day gift, but the question in itself got me thinking...what is the worst father's day gift anyone could give their dad and why?

So, the idea was born. I was going to compile a list of Worst Father's Day Gifts. The next question was: where do I find fathers to ask this question to? The answer to this question came very swiftly. I went to church. My church has A LOT of fathers and because I have spent almost my entire life in the same church, I have gotten to know just about every one of these men. So asking them this question and telling them I was compiling their answers for this list got them excited to talk.

After asking and I am not kidding you here, TWENTY FOUR fathers their answer to this question, I whittled down the answers to my best 7 because apparently, a lot of fathers aren't even getting father's day gifts to know if it is good or bad.

Please buy your dads a Father's Day gift people!

So, without further ado, let's jump right into these answers by 7 Nigerian fathers.

1. Nigerian Flag.

What upset me the most about this flag is the fact that these kids know that I am a painter by trade. I can paint. I can do textiles, posters, even flags! So for them as a gift to come and give me a flag, a NIGERIAN FLAG for that matter that is very basic in its design: green, white, and green. They carried money and they bought that for me. I didn't know how to react. Also, what I am going to do with Nigerian flag? I'm even getting angry thinking about this flag thing again.

2. Smart Watch

The worst gift my children gave me was a Smart Watch because I had seen the Apple Watch and I'm a techy guy so stuff like that interests me. I liked the Apple Watch. If my children had bought me an Apple Watch, that would have been a perfect present. And I'm not saying I hate their present, at least it was thoughtful...but for my grown up kids to band together and buy me a smart watch that is not an Apple Watch.

What kind of watch was it?

It was one of those cheap smart watches. I actually went online and I looked up the specific watch, it was selling for about N4,000 on Jumia. My grown children, all working mind you, came together and bought me a N4,000 watch. I just smiled and said thank you but later after that day had passed, I seriously yabbed them about it.

3. Tie

Ah! Tie. The most boring and most thoughtless gift as far as I'm concerned. Tie, belt, and socks. People like to buy these things and I don't know why. They're the least interesting and most thoughtless gifts anyone could buy for you. A tie. Do you know how many ties any working class man already has in his wardrobe? You now come and buy somebody tie. Tie!

4. Books and Newspaper

Is it a crime to discuss politics with your children? Is it a crime to buy newspaper when they're in the car with you? Tell me why my children thought it was a good idea to as a Father's Day gift, buy me newspaper and 2 books: one Oxford Nigerian Politics Book and another political book I don't remember the name of. What is my business with Oxford of Nigerian Politics book? Don't I have the news? Is AIT still not broadcasting? NTA nko? Channels? What is my business with reading book about Nigerian politics? That is the worst gift anybody has ever given me in my whole life. I'm not even a person that reads books normally, only newspapers. They now even bought the wrong newspaper on top. Who told them I read The Nation?

5. Home Gym Kit

For Father's Day in 2018, my children and wife banded together to buy me all these workout items. There was exercise mat inside, canvas, all these press-up weights. They called it, is it Gym Kit? or something like that.

Their reasoning was that it was their mother and my daughter's idea primarily because they said my stomach had started getting too big and I needed to work out.

What kind of stupid present is that? Gym kit? Inside house gym is what you buy your father as gift. Nonsense idea!

6. Bible

Let me preface this by saying that obviously I love the Lord. We're in church right now, it's very clear. But why would you in good conscience think that of all the gifts you can get me, it is Holy Bible you will pick. King James Version for that matter. I don't understand it. I already have Bible, two for that matter. Even on my phone, I have Bible app. So what is the sense in coming to give me yet another Bible as a Father's Day present. I actually found it funny.

7. Foolscap sheet card

Hands-down the worst gift my children and wife ever gave me was...in the morning, I didn't know it was Father's Day so I just went about my day preparing to take my family to church. When I came out, as I was about to enter into the car, my youngest daughter recklessly practically threw me this foolscap sheet paper with biro-pen-written happy father's day messages from the entire family. The paper didn't even have unique messages or any of the sort. It was just "Happy Father's Day" written with the same biro pen on different parts of the paper.

I couldn't vex. What even annoyed me on top was the general attitude. I didn't know it was a Father's Day, it would have been better if they didn't do anything than to come and write with biro on paper and give me with bad attitude.

Later that day though, after service, I got home and the whole house had been transformed. They had all been tricking me into thinking that they didn't care about me to build up for the celebration that afternoon. It turned out to be the most thoughtful and most fun Father's Day celebration. Those children really played their father.

THAT'S ALL.
