“Train up a child in the way he should grow, And when he is old he will not depart from it,” according to Proverbs 22:6.

Nollywood actress and film director, Caroline Danjuma, has called on parents to give good training to their children for them to become good future leaders.

According to her, the failure of every nation starts from our homes because it is the home that breeds a good or corrupt leader.

Caroline made the courtesy call on parents in a facebook post commemorating Nigeria’s 55th Independence Day.

“The failure of a nation starts from the homes of its people. Dear parents, train your kids well, to be selfless, honest, loyal, disciplined, religious, teach them about bad association.

“Most importantly teach your kids the value and cons of money and how to save. Spare nothing to educate your kids cause they are the leaders who will eventually lead you tomorrow. The leaders were once children.”

“A good upbringing is the solution to the problems of a country. The words of wisdom to a child has no price tag. Happy birthday Nigeria,” she said.
