It is very glaring to most people that Mother’s Day is celebrated more times in a year than Father’s Day and it still comes as a surprise that some women still decide to celebrate themselves on this day set aside for men.
This practice has been noticed to be commonly displayed by single mothers or children who were mainly raised by their mums.
It has led to some sort of debate online with people asking why men can’t be left alone to enjoy the day in peace without women also wanting the spotlight.

Temitope Ashogbon said a mother's love is different from that of a father's:
"Mother's love cannot be compared to father's love."
Samuel Orkyaa asked a question of her own:
"In the world generally, between a man and a woman who has more respect?"
Nkajima Samuel had this to say:
"Bcos some single mothers were rejected, some lost their spouse and some were abandoned by the fathers of their children...They struggled to bring up d child and so they deserve to be celebrated.."
Kingsley Harley wrote:
"Both of them are needed been a single mother is not that easy, no matter what no one can feel the vacuum of father, both are needed, and women are still great in their respective personality."
Laah D Anchang:
"Some women don't want anything for the man. Everyday we celebrate y'all but a single day for men, you want to control and confuse it's use. I think the society is just too unfair to men deep down. God bless fathers."
