Mothers Day? Bullshit Extraordinaire

11:55:00Opeyemi Famakin




If you can recall I've once written an article on why I don't believe in Birthdays, Christmas days, Valentines day and even new years day. And I explained why I don't believe in those Holidays. Well, mothers day is today and here's why I don't believe in it.
Let me start with this, if you're a Muslim and you celebrate Valentines day or Mothers day YOU ARE A FUCKING HYPOCRITE. Yes, I said it. As we all know Valentines day is a Christian holiday with Catholic origin so what the hell are Muslims doing celebrating a holiday with christian origin? Why don't you celebrate Christmas or lent with us, I'm sure if length or easter involved giving expensive stuff to women you would find a way to inculcate it into your religion and find a way to justify it. 

Mother's day is also a christian religion and the annoying thing is that we have like 4 mother's day. We have the American mother's day, African one, the Catholic one.. In short basically each church has their own mothers day so again I ask Muslims, what  concerns you with mothers day. So you're now letting Christians dictate stuff to you abi?

Now let me tell you why people of my generation celebrate mothers day. Of course you'd disagree with me but when did I ever need you to agree with me when I'm calling you out?
We celebrate mother's day cuz its hip. Everyone is using their mothers on their dp and instagram so as usual we also follow the trend and do the same. Only a minute few actually make their mothes feel special by giving them gifts and actually doing something special for them.

Also most people do it out of compulsion. Today is mother's day and the reasonable thing to do is call her, then post a picture of her on social media so that the works won't say I'm weird. Like I've always been saying Women are very emotional and if on mothers day most women see other kids doing stuff for their mums and their kids don't do such all hell would be let loose.

I'm actually not really against mothers day to be honest, when I get married eventually I'm sure my wife would bully me to celebrate mothers day and Valentine's day but deep deep down I'd know its bullshit and I'm only doing it so that she won't tell me no when its time to "hmmm hmmm". But I'm still asking Muslims, why are you celebrating mothers day with the Christians? Cuz you know mothers day is a Christian Holiday. Now of you people created a special holiday then maybe I'd keep shut. Maybe 

PS: Dear mum, if you by chance read this article I didn't write it because of you. Dear elder relatives, if you also stumble across this article try not to show my mother thereby causing wahala, I didn't write it to throw shades at her or any mother. 

I wrote it because I can, and also because one Muslim chick was saying rubbish and her rubbish inspired this article which is a reply to her rubbish.

  1. Hi ope thanks for the post. U ve asked a reasonable question as to why Muslim celebrate holidays like this even when it is not ideal in any way to set aside a day out of 365 days to celebrate ones mum. No Muslim who understands his or her religion would subscribe to this for there's no basis for it in Islam.

    1. Didn't insinuate its not ideal to set aside a day to celebrate mothers though. Just that it's a christian holiday and why r Muslims choose to celebrate it with us.. But thanks for the comment, you made a reasonable point

  2. I totally agree with you. Muslims have decided to do everything Christians do. Im not saying its a bad thing. I just dont like the fact that they say they are better than Christians. Nice writeup.
