Comrade Emmanuel Ogbeche, Chairman of Nigerian Union of Journalists, (NUJ), FCT Chapter, wants the Federal Ministry of Education to adopt the book in secondary school schools across the country, explaining that the book contains a moral guide that would help instill positive values in children as well as guide parenting to effect the desired change in Nigeria.
Ogbeche made this recommendation during the official launch of the book “Flying Five Flags: A journey of life circles”, written by late Dr. Onokhogie Adamu and his daughter, Ms. Lois Otse Adams, in Abuja.
He decried that Nigeria today suffers from bad governance, internet fraud, which all stems from moral decay, poor parenting, among others.
Ogbeche said, “There is a need for us to get a guide to parenting so we can help children navigate through the course of life. The recommendation is that the Federal Ministry of Education adopts this book into our secondary school because it is at that stage we catch them young; so children can imbibe values that would sustain the society from decadence.”
While giving a review of the book, Ogbeche said the book is written in five chapters representing five stages of the human life cycle ranging from childhood, teenage stage, career stage, maturity and old age.
He said every stage of life is equally significant but parenting stands as the most important factor on the growth and development of a child.
“Whatever the children turns into, is the responsibility of the parents because what you give is what you receive”, he said.
