A Letter to our Parents

By Educator Fidelia Akpan

Teaching the right values

Children are the future leaders of tomorrow. The present & the past actually determines how the future is going to pan out. Are we as parents,& guardians, actually raising up children who are going to be effective leaders that will steer the affairs of our respective nations without putting the nation on the path of self-destruction. 

Dear parents,
How will our country & our children look like in the next 20 years to come? Are our parents & schools instilling & driving in the right values in our children? What kind of leaders will Nigeria produce in the next 20 years? Do we still instill values like honesty, discipline, integrity, self-control, dignity, & good morals at home & in our schools?
