Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate mothers the world over. Nigerians, however, on Sunday took to social media to upload heartfelt messages to mark the event.
It is a celebration of motherhood, maternal ties, and the all-too-important influence of mothers in society. Although celebrated on different days in many parts of the world, it most commonly marked in the months of March or May.
@dawn_immanuel wrote in near lyrical language, “To the mums who hold their children in their arms, and the mums who carry theirs in their hearts.
“To the mums who are waiting patiently, and the ones who are tired of waiting.
“To mums of one, and mums of many; mums by choice, and mums by chance: Happy Mother’s Day.”
“We should celebrate Mother’s Day Everyday…,” declared @Missifyfelix, “Mothers are just the BEST!!!
“Happy Mother’s Day to every Mother, May God continually strengthen you all in Jesus name”.
