The moral imperative of every parent.

The moral imperative of every parent is to cultivate the next generation they have brought forth. To raise kids without feelings of entitlement. Parents who never admit they're wrong, raise adults unable to take responsibility. Parents who smother their children, raise adults with no autonomy. Parents who don't challenge their children, raise adults with no confidence or determination. Parents who never apologize, raise adults who think it's always someone else's fault. Parents who rely too much on punishment, raise adults that hide their mistakes. Parents who try to dictate their children's interests, raise adults with no sense of identity.

KANO : Governor Abba kabir Yusuf kicks against 500 billion Sharing formula

KANO: Governor Abba kabir Yusuf kicks against 500 billion Sharing formula  Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has kicked against the federal government's sharing formula for the recently approved N500 billion palliative.  The federal government had said that it would use the Bank of Industry to support small-scale industries across geopolitical zones.
