The Fathers Matter

In the light of parenting roles, we have come to believe that fathers do not play as significant a role as mothers in the family. However, research has shown that fathers have a greater influence on their children than they are given credit for. 
 
All over the online space, #FathersMatterhas remained arecurring issue and has led to discussions advocating that we show our fathers more appreciation – just in time for Father’s Day.Why not takea cue and celebrate your dad? Continue...


What’s your dad into, anyway? Is he “The homemaker dad”, “The gadget loving dad”, “The car loving dad”, “The fashionista dad”, “The studious dad” or “The active dad”? Determining what your father likes will help you decide what to get as a gift. For example, if your dad is fashion loving, you should be thinking of getting him things like perfumes, watches, shoes or cool polo shirts.

So, if you’re thinking of orderinga gift from the UK or the US, then you should download the MallforAfrica App which allows you to order productsfrom over 80 UK and US stores. The interesting thing is they deliver straight to you in Nigeria within 5 to f15 working days. 

You can download the App at www.mallforafrica.com on your Android, iOS, Windows or Mac device.
You can also take part in the MallForAfrica Instagram contest for a chance to win $150. Justfollow @mallforafrica, upload a 15 second Happy Father’s day video using #MFADads.

P.S. If you didn’t know, Father’s Day is June 15

    I didn't enjoy to joy of Father hood, my dad's schedule is one month in Nigeria, Four years off to Italy, and my reasoning with him doesn't align well, so Father's day is not for me

    Fathers. An endangered species, who cares about them they are only good for one thing after which its all about the mothers.
    At last somebody is recognizing the contribution of the father to the family life.
    Anyone want to offer me a fathers day gift

    I've used the app before and it's credible. Go on their website and see. Better than shopping at all these chop-money boutiques abeg
