He claimed that being a present parent affects the lives of the child.
“No matter how your upbringing was, no matter what challenges you face, no matter how sour the relationship with the mother, never ever shirk your fatherly duties. No child deserves to grow up with an absent father.”
“I received an abundance of love from my father and mother and now I am making them smile in their graves by loving their grandchildren.
“Our creator and ancestors are the ones who give us these blessings called children. As long as they continue blessing us, we shall never reject the call to be parents to more.”
